Okay, I have to post about another cool blog I just ran across. GraphJam: Pop Culture for People in Cubicles.
Using the language of offices everywhere, the entries on this site make cleverly formatted graphical references to pop culture. Not all of them are that clever, or good for polite company (as they say), [...]
There’s a lot of cool stuff on the internet. Most of it is free.
Except TV. Networks have been mysteriously stingy when it comes to offering things that used to be free. No downloading, not even any streaming. After all — we can buy the DVDs for exorbitant amounts, right?
Technically, networks have [...]
My iGoogle “Quote of the Day” widget spat up this gem from Mr. Microsoft today:
“Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There’s a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.” ~ Bill Gates
It’s disturbing when the practice of one’s faith boils down only to measures [...]
Technically, I was never allowed to watch G.I. Joe growing up, so I’m not really as familiar with the characters as a lot of people.
However, I have read some of the more recent comics, and really, there are some things about which you can’t go through life without picking up a little knowledge here and [...]
There’s something special about the short-lived Joss Whedon drama Firefly, and more and more people are coming to realize it. I’ve waxed eloquent about it before, mostly in talking with other people, some of whom had seen it and were reminiscing with me, others of whom were skeptical but to whom I was evangelizing [...]
Back to work yesterday and wandering through the halls has got me thinking. It’s probably because I’m a communications guy and I enjoy thinking about the way people talk to each other (verbally or not), but I’m finding the notion of the hallway greeting an interesting one.
When you work in a small office as [...]
It’s real.
In this article at CNet, we learn that apparently Microsoft has taken some anonymous (hmm, really?) statistics from Messenger users and discovered that the average separation between random users is 6.6 divisions. In other words, if you pick two random people who have never met, you can connect them within 6.6 friends of [...]
I saw the movie Michael Clayton last night. I’m curious what other people thought of it.
I mean, I like movies. I’ve studied about movies, I read about movies, and I enjoy most movies. But personally, I didn’t like Michael Clayton much.
It was advertised as a tight, gripping thriller. That sounds more [...]
If you like LOST, this post is for you.
If you’re not up to speed on the series…TURN BACK NOW. Mucho spoilers ahead.
Here’s a fun thing in preparation for tonight’s new episode (thanks to ComingSoon for spotlighting it). Apparently, we’re not the only ones who don’t know what’s going on in the show. [...]
Apparently, some people will try anything to explain away the Bible. Latest idea: Moses was stoned when all those miracles happened. The Ten Commandments? The burning bush? All the result of an acid trip.
So says this guy, anyway.
My favorite line from the article: “Moses was probably also on drugs when he saw the ‘burning bush,’ [...]
