Is it just me or does every computer person use “loose” and “loosing” when they mean “lose” or “losing”?  I haven’t seen a “loost” yet though…

Alright, while I like to pretend I don’t laugh at nerd jokes, the blog: How to tell if your office Secret Santa is really a Web 2.0 cultist is hilarious.

Or should I say hi.lario.us? (Sorry…)

For a slightly more serious bashing of Web 2.0, the Register is always a good place to go.

Found (thanks vidluther) C. Enrique Ortiz’ list of “Developer’s Top 10 replies when code doesn’t work…”:

Top 10 replies by developers when their programs don’t work:

10. ‘That’s weird…’
9. ‘It’s never done that before.’
8. ‘It worked yesterday.’
7. ‘You must have the wrong version.’
6. ‘It works, but it hasn’t been tested.’
5. ‘Somebody must have changed my code.’
4. ‘Did you check for a virus?’
3. ‘Where were you when the program blew up?’
2. ‘Why do you want to do it that way?’

and finally …

1. ‘I thought I fixed that.’

10. All the time. I program in PHP after all.
8. Well it did!
7. I use open source, the point release subrevision difference must be what’s causing the bug!
6. Testing is for the weak.
4. And run Spybot, Adaware, and Hijack This?
2. End users are crazy.
1. Followed by “Maybe I just didn’t commit it.” which is followed by “Huh, I guess not. Must have forgotten to fix it.”

It’s amazing what rich powerful (bald) white males get away with. If my boss acted like Steve Ballmer I’m be out the door and halfway through a restraining order before the chair hit the floor.I hope Google hires every good employee Microsoft has (there can’t be that many) just to see what crazy ol’ Steve will do next.

Throwing beanbag chairs from Beanbagchairsbeanbagchairs.com might not be too intimidating, but beanbag chairs are very comfortable in comparison to many other chairs;
bean bags can be placed anywhere and you can sit in almost any position in them, so beanbag chairs make a decent addition to any room.
