Math
CNN has a story about a girl who sent 303,000 text messages one month. My initial thought was "someone is making this up", but the piece showed the phone bill with the total number of messages (303,396). The story claimed that she was a straight-A student who also has a full time job.
Sorry. Still not buying it. The longest month of the year ( Read more... ) -

Da Bulls
The Celtics-Bulls series is tied at 1. It could easily be Chicago 2-0 or Boston 2-0, but it's split heading back to the midwest. I think the Bulls have a pretty decent shot at winning because of all of the injuries that Boston has to deal with. I could talk about how well Rose and Gordon have played in the first two games, but I'm not going to, ( Read more... ) -
Musical Monday (Vol. 6)
Long time, no Musical Monday, so here it is. Ayumi Hamasaki's "Evolution", from the album "I am..."
There need to be more songs like this.

A Major Problem (And Also Why It's Not)
Friday afternoon, right before I left work, my boss and a co-worker came into my office and declared, in an Apollo 13 sort of voice, that we had a problem. A big problem. The co-worker was pretty confident, having looked at the code, that no one had ever did cross-product testing with our latest release, shipped six months ago, against the ( Read more... ) -

And now a message from Wen Jiabao (and myself)
"Of course we are concerned about the safety of our assets. To be honest, I'm a little bit worried. I would like to call on the United States to honor its words, stay a credible nation and ensure the safety of Chinese assets."
Response: Fuck you, asshole.

Oh, GOP, you so crazy
I got the following in my tri-weekly e-mail from the GOP:
President Obama and Liberal Democrats in Congress don't seem to grasp the fact that since the Democrats took total control in Washington, the stock market has lost over 20% of its value.
Aside from that number being made up, I think they've grasped the fact that the economy is still in the ( Read more... ) -
More For The List
Two weeks in a row that I can't find my kneepads, and this time I think I figured out why. They were in my Sierra Club backpack along with a pair of socks and an iPod. I'm pretty sure Douchebag Thief took the bag along with everything else.

Winning Sells... A Random Thought
For some reason a commercial for Hungry Hungry Hippos entered my head today, and it let me to think about board game commercials, specifically from the 80s. Every single board game commercial that I can think out invariably ended with some kid shouting out "I WIN!" at the end. I noticed this even when I was younger, and my friends and I would ( Read more... )
