Its all John & Ashley’s fault after repeatedly talking about it on the trip that I’ve lost the last three days, though I guess at least it was something positive. Well, actually, it was something positive, a hilarious web comic that is so wrong and twisted in so many ways I have lost count. Good thing I’m not religious, just reading through the whole archives like I have the past few days would probably count as a few deadly sins. Highly recommended if you have a twisted and tolerant sense of humor.

Figure I might as well mention a few of my other daily reads along those lines. Of course there are probably no geeks that don’t hit Dilbert and MegaTokyo on a regular basis as well as User Friendly. A couple of my personal favorites though are Ozy & Millie for its wonderfully sardonic wit and Kevin & Kell for its well realized world of predator and prey with a twisted sociological and technological spin. And, alas less frequently, there’s Sabrina Online.

Wow, guess the budget cuts really have gotten bad!

(OK, really just an oddly placed For Rent sign for a pricey 4 bedroom house.)

This one is kinda old, but haven’t posted the results of me playing with it before. Uncanny resemblance, isn’t it?

I work in a smallish cube-farm, roughly square shapped with five or six rows. Small enough that you can hear someone talking on the other side and easily make out what they’re saying if they speak up a little. Today I was in-between two guys on opposite ends of the area, talking to each other on their speaker phones. The result was a strange, annoying stereo effect of hearing the speaker in one ear and the speaker phone in the other. Geez, guys, get off your lazy asses and walk 50 feet. But I guess this isn’t too surprising, considering everyone is constantly using the phone system’s “all page” function when they need to contact someone who’s not at their desk…

Heh, love all the ones I’m seeing these days. Today’s is:

“Save the Environment — Plant a Bush Back in Texas”
