Neat photos Raq found a picture of MattyJ in this photographer's portfolio. MattyJ?! Celebrity isn't he? Publicist he needs. Yoda I write like. But I went and found her (Emily Wilson) online portfolio - lots of nice rock shots. Rocks shots!
Raq's I-Mac Dude. She got a new I-Mac. With the damn super drive thing that also burns DVDs. DVDs! Rock Pics! She has so much tech clout now it's not even funny.
Cardwish is back Cardwish.com is back. I just got an email from them telling me that they had an online greeting card for me to pick up. Right. Whatever you do, don't click the link. It's some sort of email address harvester. Yucky. Why can't we play nice.
My ATM PIN If you steal my ATM card, the following numbers are NOT my ATM PIN: 8675 5555 9012 9110 4311 6006 5417
Quiz Time The company I am working at has this section on their website where you can take a quiz about their products. It's more for their sales staff than anything. Our pal Eric had to put these in the database and on some he was given the question and the right answer - but not the 'wrong' answers for the multiple choice. He had to make those up himself.

The Computer Room So, there is this computer room here at this place. It's one of those glassed in, fire-proof, special atmosphere kind do-hickeys. You have to have like three passes to get in, and you almost have to wear a BIO Suit. No food, drink, smoking allowed. Now, the trick is that this fancy room shares a common vent with the conference room that I am camped in. nice, eh? You could easily climb through if you needed to - it's a huge opening in the wall. There is some computer guy who sits on the other side, in the computer super room, and smokes cigarettes all day. The smoke just pours into my little room where I am quietly working. I am thinking buying some 'mary jane' and lighting that up this afternoon to see if anyone notices. Shall we start taking bets to see if they will? I think no one will notice
Neat update blog thing I modified the happyrobot words system so now anytime someone writes anything it tells weblogs.com. They are a website that list the newest/updated sites on the web. Kind of a neat way to find stuff to read.
all hail SeanBaby I was reading Seanbaby's diatribe on sarcasm, which by the way is an excellent read and I recommend it to you all. My favorite part has to with him driving down the highway blasting music...
Sometimes when I'm driving across town I might scream, "Are you ready to rock, Highway 26?!" and sing a Whitesnake song out the window. And when I get off the highway I'll scream, "How are you feeling out there, Market Street! I was just on 26, and they said they knew how to rock! But Market Street! Market Street knows how to ROCK HARD!!! YeeeAAHHHHH!"
Kids are little people It may just be a 'big city' thing, but the little kids in NYC seems like uber-intelligent mutants. You'll be sitting in a restaurant and hear a conversation like this:
Dad: Yea, I saw the new Someshit Ad campaign Son: Oh yea, I did too. Which Agency did that? Dad: I thought it was by Williams & Gunther Son: No, that is not right. They lost that client last year. Dad: Oh, you are right. Can I refill your sippy cup?
Something about the urban enviroment makes kids so smart - or their parents are just smart and it has nothing to do with the emviroment. Mrs Robot and I always say that there is no way we could have kids in this town - we just aren't smart enough. Our kid would inherit our common trait of constantly saying, "puuuppppeeeeeee!" everytime we see a dog. I can't imagine he/she would fit in well with the rest of the world.
Today on the train I am sitting next to this old man and this 14 year old kid. They are having a great time discussing wrestling. The old man is going on and on about some match he saw and how cool something was, and the kid is agreeing with him. The man isn't talking down to the kid like most adults do, and the kid is treating the old man as if he was his best friend from school. It was kind of neat. I can't imagine my grandfather ever talking to me like that. Actually, I can't remember how my grandfather even spoke to me
