Y2K+10
Just ten years ago, people thought the world would end on Y2K. The lights would go out, the power plants shut down, and all because of shortsighted programming. As a result of that scare, Doug Fleenor posted the following statement on his company’s website regarding the products they make and what would’ve happened the moment the clock stuck midnight.

I have heard that 100% of all people die at least once in their lifetime. Still, I have not personally experienced this so I remain skeptical.

Scene from checking into the hotel earlier
funsizebytes:
Ted: “Would you like a wake up call?”
TJ: “Fuck no, I’m turning off my iPhone too.”
Ted: “Very well. Have a good night.”
I may judge people by how they react to idle swearing. Sometimes. Or maybe I was just tired. Or both.
In any case, good night.
The use of naughty words is always fun. I’m not the sort of person to drop the f-bomb a dozen times in a few minutes or...

WatchShut Up and Shoot Me
Karen, Dan, MC, and I were flipping through Netflix last night, trying to find the movie that’s the right suit for us. You have to understand, when all of us are in the same room, the standards for the movies we watch plummet. In the Dark Humor category though, I saw Shut Up and Shoot Me. What was most intriguing was that Netflix said it was in Polish (only a couple...

I refuse to believe that terrorism is something worth being concerned about in the United States until a few people are dead. Until then, the gov’t has been effective in their efforts to foil terrorist plots. It’ll take more than some moron lighting their leg on fire to get wigged out about terrorists on my doorstep.
On the flip side, I empathize with all of the people who were...

Spreenkler Meetup w/ Interactive Drinks to follow. (Free pizza, drinks, and lots of cool, informal discussions on creativity and innovation.)
January 7 @ Transfer Pizzeria.

"How much beer does it take to forget about that...
About a year ago a classmate of mine approached me trying to rope me into some business with him. He said it was moving some goods between Milwaukee and Chicago with some cousins of his or something like that. At first it sounded a little sketchy, but I warmed up to the idea more when it started to sound like he was moving furniture or something and needed an extra hand for a few days over winter...

I wear my cock around my neck.
Since Favrd shut down, there’s been a lot of references made to its lovely cock logo. Dean was pretty good at growing his cock, so everyone embraced it right up it until the bitter end. Now that it’s gone, though, I will never look at a cock the same way. (for those ‘fraidy cats too lazy to click the link and look at the logo, I welcome your unwarranted feelings of disgust....

This is the side of my family that is so religously and morally sensitive that I would take a perverse pride in dropping some “naughty words” in front of.
So my brother has fallen off of the face of the...
He’s been a no-show to another awkward family gathering he confirmed he’d be at. None of us have spoken to him in a few days and he’s not answering his phone. This isn’t the first time this has happened. On one occasion he seemingly disappeared when he dropped his phone in a toilet and became disconnected for a few days.
We’re not entirely certain if we should be...

Black Holes, Mentors, and Damage Control
A few days ago, someone with cloudy intentions sent me an email. Actually, they forwarded me a chain of emails showing a conversation they were having with someone. Near the end of the conversation, there appeared to be a problem — I saw a fire I needed to put out, that for extenuating circumstances, only I could put out.
The person who emailed me had been talking to some former...

Ever have a question you just want a simple answer...
But you know the moment you ask it, you’ll be answered with about a dozen questions before somebody reluctantly gives you an answer you probably can’t use anyways and then a committee or panel has to review the entire situation before you can do anything?
To be technically correct, I only need an answer from them so that I can give an answer to the design consultants, who can then...

I needed content.
In a post-Favrd world, I lost my simple means of finding new people to pay attention to each day. With Favrd, that was mostly funny people. But I’ve been paying a lot more attention to my Tumblr page lately instead of my Twitter account. So I went on a hunt for people who post cool things.
To start off, a few days ago I went on a crusade using tumblupon. Basically I would click the random...

Thursday, January, 7, 2010 at Transfer Pizzeria? Reblog with your thoughts.
I think that’d be ok. Any idea if it’s non-smoking?
It is!
Word up.
Great place & amazing pizza. I’m in! (Sometimes they have a fairly loud band in the house though.)

Only one person has ever been so skilled as to make me feel guilty and shameful when opening my inbox, as to expect an email awaiting me that says, “You kind of suck at life,” from any number of different parties.

When you’ve only inferred what’s going on by reading between the lines, is it inappropriate to tell someone that everything will turn out alright, maybe even pretty good?

New social networking rule
dwineman:
No one, under any circumstances, for any reason, is ever obligated to defend his or her “following” list to anybody.*
*Especially people who aren’t on it.
I agree 100% with this. Every so often someone will get upset that I’m not following them. They don’t seem to like when instead of defending the list of people I do follow, I just tell them they aren’t...
