But I remember when the answering machine was king!

From an interesting article in NYT: WHEN Steve Hamrick left his last job as manager at a software corporation, he had at least 25 unheard messages in his office voice mailbox.

It’s not that he doesn’t like to talk. But with the cascade of messages he receives by e-mail, texting and on Facebook, Mr. Hamrick, 29, a self-described “voice mail phobic” from Cupertino, Calif., said he’d found better ways to keep in touch. “I had to give up something and that, for me, was voice mail,” he said. “It’s cutting out some forms of communication to make room for the others.” Read more here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/02/fashion/02voicemail.html?pagewanted=all

I am sure that there might be a circus baby someplace that actually needs a shave, but this thing is growing hair in spots on it's body that even I don't grow hair on! Ever place bullshit bingo while sitting in boring corporate meetings? This device makes it easy! Except it is made to be applied to the bullshit artists wrist so that when certain words or phrases are detected, it administers a shock. Too cool! There are several people I work with that I would love to tag with this baby. Do you hear me Mr. " leveraging bleeding-edge technology for a real va...

Winter returns it's hold

We have had a very strange winter around here. It started off at the end of last year with a lot of snow, all the ski areas were doing well, and we had above average snowpack. Then it stopped just like someone flipped a switch. We had a couple of months with nothing but wind, which I just hate. Now we have two more storms coming after getting a huge dumping of snow. All the meteorologists are trying to explain it, but I know the secret. They finally replaced the Elf...
