Please Todd, please
Todd is that guy that that other guy knows. You know, that one. With the girlfriend. Well, Todd is nice and he runs this whole fun website and I want to syndicate his editorials for happyrobot. That would be fun, right? So, if you know Todd, tell him to join us. In the meantime, please check out something from his website:

Waiting on hold, 2:19pm
I was calling this guy about some stuff, and was on hold. His company's hold music was the radio station, and right as his assistant said, "please hold", the radio clicked in and a voice said, "ohhhh, that fudge. So good...", and then some music started playing.
Lamest website
I saw this on DSLReports the other day, where they declared it the lamest website ever.
Be sure to click 'Current Events'.
Tim
Tim is in town. Last night he had a dream that I was skateboarding behind buses on a chair with wheels. In the dream, he turned to Matt and said, "he's good", and Matt said (kind of enviously?), "I know".
I wish I could skateboard. I think I have a high center of gravity or something. I never really 'got' skateboarding, skiing, ice skating... but as a youngster did spend 24 hours a day riding my bike up and down mountains, or if it was snowing, barreling down hills with the dog chasing me. I feel more comfortable going fast if I am low. I guess we all do - except for maybe crazy people. Or really tall people.
Terrorists
Boy, they annoy me. There is all that talk now about the 'dirty bombs' that they could possess and set off in major metropolitan areas. Ack. You know, I got a little irked when they blew up the WTC (yea, just 'irked' - I am emotion-phobic, ya know) mainly because the WTC always seemed so goofy, and not really a symbol of anything other than good engineering. I kept thinking that I wish they would target other symbols of 'America' instead - like Apple-bees, Starbucks, TGI-Fridays, car dealerships... you get the idea.
I mean, let's say they are like, "ok, we are going to blow something up, and you can't stop us, but you can pick the target". Then I'd be all like, "I vote for TGI-Fridays".
(After reading what I just wrote, I expect FBI guys to come to my door and seize my computer and arrest me for rabble rousing)
Saudis
In a way, I kinda wish the Saudi's would raise the prices on oil in protest. One, I think that would be a good wake up call to Bush (unless he would just decide to attack them too) and second it might knock some sense into the American Auto industry.
Small Companies are funny
I have this 'client' David who has this 'computer' system phone thing, and one of my jobs is to integrate his website to work with his store's fancy computer network thing (it's much easier than it sounds). He told me that it might be best if I call the company and get the technical details from them instead of him doing it and relaying it to me. So, I call, and after looking at their website and knowing that they make some cool industry standard software thingies, I assume that they are a pretty big company. He mentioned that I might want to speak to a woman named Jane Somebody in sales, so when I call I hit the sales option and it goes straight to her line. Like she is the only sales person there.
"Hello. This is Jane, how can I help you"
"hi this is Rich. I am working with XYZ Pharmacy and trying to integrate their website with your pharmacy system thing"
"oh, hi. David told me you would call. Nice to talk with you finally. Hold on and let me transfer you straight to Wayne"
(click)
"Hi, Rich? This is Wayne. Great to speak with you. Yadda yadda yadda yadda........."
very odd. Super friendly people and they were expecting my call. Wacky. Either this is a cool company, or some sort of mind reading religious super cult.
Cookiecentral.com
Every now and then I wander by this site to check out their message board, which is always a great place to find great examples of wackiness and bad grammar (hey, kind of like robot journal).

Not to insult anyone named "angel", but I have always found people named Angel to be kind of wonkey.
