I’ll start with the doctor. He said I can expect to have my cough another one or two weeks. Yay. This is from the legendary lawyer, Razzie. I am speechless. Seriously. This is the most unusual, bizarre, unreal, unspeakable, product I’ve ever seen. It’s a real product for a real condition. You will laugh or […]
Today my experience that all women are clinically insane on some level was confirmed. I will not relate the story, but must point out banging your head on a concrete wall is far more productive than trying to understand women. I know it’s a cliche, I know it’s dinosaur-era thought, but it’s still true. So […]
The good, fantastic, thrilling news is that Nucor, thanks to our industry’s objections, had their complaint voted down 6-0 so there is no immediate effect. We Twittered and posted on our Facebook account earlier today. The official ruling may be read here. Why did they lose? I don’t know. However, a 6-0 decision against them […]
I am not a Carl Hiaasen fan. Sorry, Carl. I’m just wildly indifferent about his writing, but Dave sent me a link to the latest Hiaasen column and it’s priceless. This is what I call a WIN. Well done, sir. Well done. Bravo! A nicer piece of mockery I would be hard pressed to find. […]
This cough sucks. Dry and hacky and it won’t go away. I hatesssssss it. It’s not as bad when I’m lying down in bed. Opposite of normal. Shout out to Tara. It’s okay: you can eat a PayDay bar if it makes you happy. This from Dave Higgins. It’s a subway map. But this one […]
I finally got the cool hoodie I’ve mentioned to a number of you. There’s a photo of it on my Flickr page. Well worth the look if I do say so myself. When I was a kid in the early 1970s and living in the Bay Area, there was a place called Hippo Burger. It […]
Boogers have nothing to do with this post, but sometimes a random post needs a random subject line. * * * It’s Halloween and I’ve spent most of the evening handing out candy to munchkins of various ages. Now that it’s later, it’s older kids. Soon I’ll turn off the outside light and call it […]
Last night I took home company asset 1039. I know it’s number 1039 because it’s got a sticker that says so. All of our hi-tech equipment has these stickers. I configured it, set it up, and went through the short learning curve. Asset 1039 is the new laptop computer. Yes, it’s a 15″ MacBook Pro […]
Fake Steve Jobs (aka Dan Lyons) wrote an amusing piece in his blog today. As you may have seen, Microsoft was planning to sponsor an entire episode of Family Guy. It was to be 30 minutes and sans commercials. The payoff for them was having all sorts of Windows7 references built into the show. Microsoft, […]
Ça va? Where to begin? Je ne sais pas. Tomorrow will begin the insurance wars with AvMed. I am not looking forward to that, but it’s important they learn up front they should pick on someone else. If you think fighting back and fighting back hard doesn’t help, you’re wrong. With all the people an […]
