What not to do during the State of the Union address

10:42am Wednesday, January 24th, 2007 by Rolande

If you are attending the State of the Union address, you might want to make sure you are caught up on your sleep, especially if you are going to sit real close to the podium. I wonder if Bush thought to himself “Man I hope no one gets a picture of that”? Unless of course she was just a Democrat trying to send an obvious sign.

This is a hysterical video demonstrating the evolution of dance from the 50’s through today. If you don’t laugh at any part of this then you have been living under a rock.

Even the Builders of Windows Find Tech Support a Challenge

This story is rife with irony. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy…

ITworld.com - Even the Builders of Windows Find Tech Support a Challenge

Joel Shore, ITworld.com

I’m just back from Seattle, where I attended the Microsoft Windows Vista Reviewer’s Workshop. An enormous amount of information was presented, and now that the non-disclose embargo has been lifted, you’ll be reading a great deal about Vista here and in other places in the coming months.

But what intrigued me most was the last scheduled item of the day, a simple Q&A#038; session with Jim Allchin, the brilliant mind behind Windows Vista, Windows XP, and, years before that, the Banyan VINES network operating system.

Jim, as down to earth as ever as he nears the release of Vista and then sails off into retirement from Microsoft, was amazingly candid in answering questions. He talked about how Microsoft vastly underestimated the security needs of its products and how enormously painful it was to bring XP’s SP2 to market. Read more »


Are men really happier?

10:13pm Thursday, April 27th, 2006 by Rolande

My wife must think so… She forwarded me this whiny, sarcastic observation. You gotta love women and wasting no time at all with their passive aggressive manipulative comments right up front.

Men are just happier people.

What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President.

You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky.

You don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.

New shoes don’t cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons.

You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can “do” your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.


Happy Keester!

ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE
I LEARNED FROM THE EASTER BUNNY

Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket

Walk softly and carry a big carrot

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears

There’s no such thing as too much candy

All work and no play can make you a basket case

A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits

Some body parts should be floppy

Keep your paws off other people’s jellybeans

Good things come in small sugarcoated packages

The grass is always greener in someone else’s basket

An Easter bonnet can tame even the wildest hare

To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey
