Amazon.com scared me today.
It recommended to me, based on what it thinks my interests and hobbies are, "Adult" books masquerading as children's books.
I must admit - I did a double take... then thought: "I want to click on that link because my curiosity is peeked, but am I going to show up on some federal ped list? Needless to say, I clicked on it... and it was a list of Harry Potter-esc books.
Ah, Amazon... you almost gave me a heart-attack.
I just walked by 5 porsche SUV's in my parking lot. Guess the feds in the building needed a less conspicous vehicle of choice.
Ok, last stupid link today... maybe...
The title was what caught my eye: Microsoft rolls out new Windows Automotive
Read this story if only for the comments at the end. Some canadian starts an American / british fight and it just gets silly.
No one will mess with us once we unleash the "METAL BEES!!!"
This blows the gameboy advance out of the water: Atari Handheld Gaming.
I am one of the unlucky. I have to use Lotus Notes. It sucks. A LOT.
When I'm not at work, I get to use their webmail product: iNOTES. It sucks. A LOT.
I can deal with the shitty application generally... but here's what annoys the hell out of me: When ever Notes is not the topmost window on my desktop for a while, it spikes my processor so that I can't do any other work until I bring it to the foreground. Then it happily gives my processor back. It's like a puppy that wants attention. Except it's not cute, nor cuddley.
And that's why I hate Lotus Notes.
There's a new beer in town... and it's called HeBrew.
Editor's Note: If you don't find that funny - never talk to me again.
If this guy's really a time traveller... shouldn't he eventually get out of jail, then go back in time again to assure that the first 'him' doesn't get caught?
I find stupid shit on the internet while waiting for stuff to process... it's like I'm using punch cards or something....
This makes me a nerd but I was absolutely fascinated by this.
How long did you spend trying to beat Zelda on the SNES.... I know I spent a LONG time on it... and loved every minute of it.
The thing that got me in this article was that the kid in question ordered the potato gun off the internet. The joy of potato guns was in the construction of the damn thing... lazy kids today.
The indifferent: I have to go to a conference in Orlando for work.
The odd: I'm going with the new V.P.
I was talking to a guy who has been doing counter terrorism analyst for many, many years the other day. Here's a quote:
"Terrorism is like herpes. You can work your ass off to ensure that the occasional flare-ups go away but it'll always be there."
I thought that was a dead-on comparison.
