Performance Reviews

The Onion News Network has a hilarious satire on improving the economy.  The "news feed" explains that Obama is going to hold a performance review with every American and is placing motivational billboards all around the country.

Pics: What if Google was founded in the 1960s?

This is too good not to share.

Pics: What if Google was founded in the 1960s?

via Geekend by Jay Garmon on 4/16/09

A couple of cunning humorists happen upon the same notion: What if Google was founded in the pre-Internet era, when search queries would have been handled by the predominate communications medium of the day — snail mail? Check out the Google Search request form and query postcard, available at quality libraries near you (during the Nixon administration).

Biology Experiments

As a bachelor I can appreciate unplanned biology experiments.  Occasionally it happens.  My work space in the office, however, is the last place I would allow for inadvertent mold growth.

A married colleague of mine, though, recently allowed  for such growth to occur in his coffee cup. 

Another coworker and I noticed that he hadn't used his coffee cup in awhile, instead has been using the paper cups in the coffee bar.  I just so happened to pick up his cup this morning and noticed the growth inside.  Since he's working out of another office today, we decided to send him an email with one of the photos titled "Mystery" to see if he could guess what the photo is of.

Here are some additional photos:

 

Dilbert - March 10, 2009

A colleague pointed out that today's Dilbert reminds him of me.

I do like the T-Mobile G1 phone.

Greatest Craig's List Posting Ever

This is the greatest Craig's List posting ever:

NINJA HAULER: 2005 Nissan Xterra - $12900 (Ronan / Lake County ) Reply to: sale-945361858@craigslist.org [?] Date: 2008-12-04, 5:15PM MST  OK, let me start off by saying this Xterra is only available for purchase by the manliest of men (or women). My friend, if it was possible for a vehicle to sprout chest hair and a five o'clock shadow, this Nissan would look like Tom Selleck. It is just that manly.  It was never intended to drive to the mall so you can pick up that adorable shirt at Abercrombie & Fitch that you had your eye on. It wasn't meant to transport you to yoga class or Linens & Things. No, that's what your Prius is for. If that's the kind of car you're looking for, then just do us all a favor and stop reading right now. I mean it. Just stop.  This car was engineered by 3rd degree ninja super-warriors in the highest mountains of Japan to serve the needs of the man that cheats death on a daily basis. They didn't even consider superfluous nancy boy amenities like navigation systems (real men don't get lost), heated leather seats (a real man doesn't let anything warm his butt), or On Star (real men don't even know what the hell On Star is).  No, this brute comes with the things us testosterone-fueled super action junkies need. It has a 265 HP engine to outrun the cops. It's got special blood/gore resistant upholstery. It even has a first-aid kit in the back. You know what the first aid kit has in it? A pint of whiskey, a stitch-your-own-wound kit and a hunk of leather to bite down on when you're operating on yourself. The Xterra also has an automatic transmission so if you're being chased by Libyan terrorists, you'll still be able to shoot your machine gun out the window and drive at the same time. It's saved my bacon more than once.  It has room for you and the four hotties you picked up on the way to the gym to blast your pecs and hammer your glutes. There's a tow hitch to pull your 50 caliber anti-Taliban, self cooling machine gun. I also just put in a new windshield to replace the one that got shot out by The Man.  My price on this bad boy is an incredibly low $12,900, but I'll entertain reasonable offers. And by reasonable, I mean don't walk up and tell me you'll give me $5,000 for it. That's liable to earn you a Burmese-roundhouse-sphincter-kick with a follow up three fingered eye-jab. Would it hurt? Hell yeah. Let's just say you won't be the prettiest guy at the Coldplay concert anymore.  There's only 69,000 miles on this four-wheeled hellcat from Planet Kickass. Trust me, it will outlive you and the offspring that will carry your name. It will live on as a monument to your machismo.  Now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If it's a rugged, no holds barred, super brute he-man macho Chuck Norris stunt double, then contact me. I might be out hang-gliding or BASE jumping or just chilling with my ladies, but I'll get back to you. And when I do, we'll talk about a price over a nice glass of Schmidt while we listen to Johnny Cash.  To sweeten the deal a little, I'm throwing in this pair of MC Hammer pants for the man with rippling quads that can't fit into regular pants. Yeah, you heard me. FREE MC Hammer pants.  Rock on.  depoconnor@gmail.com
