You’d think working for MS would count for something…

… but apparently there is something more evil than Microsoft.  Strangely enough, this “evil“ involves Australia and comedy.

School of hard knocks

I thought it was tough when my teachers made me sit in the corner… at least they didn’t have the class beat the snot out of me.



SEAGOVILLE, Texas — Elementary school students say that a teacher made them line up and slap a classmate.


But wait… that’s not all.  Here’s the real insanity:



Parents in the district are shocked by the allegations.


They had me going but the story lost all credibility when it implied the parents were actually paying attention to what their children do in school.

He thinks he has too much time on his hands?

Okay, now this is just sad… it’s 1:26am and I’m checking Google.

It’s like crack… for pranksters

You always hear about people getting scammed, you can’t swing a cat without hitting a little old lady who lost her identity on the Internet.  How often do you ever hear about scammers getting scammed?


Mike pointed me to the hilarious bulletin board discussion chronicling the exploits of community of tech savvy people and what happens when a con artist tries to cheat one of them out of a laptop.


A warning in advance… the thread is really really really long.  You may want to start by reading it to get the feel (it is worth digging in a little to enjoy the group as they feed off each other).  When you get overwhelmed by the volume move over to one of the summary pages to get the Cliff’s Notes version.

I used to be the man…

Steve grabbed the top googleblogtag ranking from me and bengt quickly hopped in to kick me while I was down.  Perhaps I am not quite geeky enough (yes, Tami, I’ve left myself wide open :)).



Boy, this blog gets more exciting every day.

Who’s the man?

[Edit: Whose?  What was I thinking? Should have sumbitted to my editor first]


The gauntlet was thrown and a sound thrashing was handed out.  Bow before me!



Richard gets the prize for first spotting the page.

Geek drag racing?

So… Steve pointed out on his blog that the word “$g(googleblogtag)” returns no hits on Google.  So, since he put it in his blog and I put it in mine… who’s going to show up first on Google if the word gets indexed?  Also, who gets to be on the top of the page?


The race is on! 🙂

Everyone thinks you’re crazy…

… except, of course, your mother (she thinks you’re perfect).


So then, you may ask, what’s the secret to finding your perfect mate?  You’ll never find anyone who doesn’t think you’re neurotic, crazy, slovenly, annoying or weird.  The key is finding the person who just doesn’t seem to care.  When you find that person, pursue them until you’re given a marriage proposal or a restraining order.
