It’s funny ’cause it’s true… and funny. This is the first comedy sketch I’ve seen written around an application (Photoshop). It’s very well done, very funny, and absolutely perfect for a web series. Now all they need is for some jackass in advertising or marketing to totally fuck it up…
You Suck At Photoshop
Go Bears! And to a lesser extent, Pac!
My Bears did not make it as far as I’d have liked (though there were at least two glorious games this season). But when they’re not playing the Bears, I am a Pac fan… and we all hate the Vikings :) So with that, I say GO PAC! and pass on this fine Packers/Bears joke…
A man goes to the Chicago Bear ticket office and inquires about purchasing play-off tickets. The ticket teller replies that there weren’t any tickets for sale because the Bears did not make it to the play-offs.
The following day the same man goes to the Chicago Bear ticket office and inquires about purchasing Bear play-off tickets. The ticket teller politely replies that there weren’t any tickets for sale because the Bears did not make it to the play-offs. This goes on for an entire week. The man goes to the Bear ticket office inquiring about play-off tickets and the teller says none are for sale because the Bears did not make it to the play-offs. Another week of this goes by and the man still is asking the ticket teller about Bear play-off tickets. Finally the ticket teller in a loud voice says, I’VE TOLD YOU FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS THERE WERE NOT ANY TICKETS
AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE THE BEARS DID NOT MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS! The man replied, ‘I know.’ I drive all the way from Green Bay just to hear you say that!
The Truth About Software Development
From the it’s funny ’cause it’s true department comes one of the best explanations of the software development I’ve ever come across… and it’s in cartoon form with small words so even your boss will understand it…

The shootings at Virginia Tech were a horrible tragedy. Heinous events such as this typically beget a media-induced public outcry… public outcries, especially those induced by the media, then demand the placement of blame… once blame (or possibly before) is established (or at least inferred) we’ll get a bunch of jackasses pushing their ridiculous ideas for preventing the tragedy in the future. Here are examples of what two such jackasses might offer up (and yes, these two are real!):
Yahoo: continuing to find ways to suck better
I think the only reason I still use Yahoo for anything is that in the back of my tiny, tiny little brain, I secretly worry that if someone doesn’t compete with Google, Google will become Big Brother, take over the world and impose totalitarian sexual rituals requiring a 4 minute soft boiled egg and a modicum of chocolate syrup… which doesn’t actually sound that bad once you say it out loud…
I digress… It seems that Yahoo will not rest until they suck better than their competition. Case in point; email. Now, it’s been quite a long time since I used Yahoo email for anything other that a junk mail catcher. But since they “upgraded” their email with all sorts of new “features”, I can’t even stand to log in. I mean how bad is that… I won’t even use their email to catch spam! And thanks to DodgeIt, I don’t need to.
Yahoo has lost my business for almost everything. They lost me for search the second Google was born. Maps, news, movies, groups, classifieds… all of these are done better by someone else (mostly Google) or are so ad-ridden and/or just plain lame, that I can’t stand to use them. The one thing I have always used them for has been TV listings. Today, as I looked up the listing for the Bears game, they lost me for that too… which then caused me to want to rant about it… which of course I am currently. Coitus? They changed their TV listings. Don’t worry though, you can still easily find any show that has left a few meager coins on their nightstand… but there is no longer a way to search the listings for a show that you might actually want to watch. No really. I COULDN’T FIND THE BEARS GAME! Bravo Yahoo… bravo. Using Google, I quickly found a rather nice TV listing site called MeeVee and I now have one less Yahoo bookmark.
So… you’d think Yahoo could find a way to suck less. I mean with the future of government-subsidized sodomic egg rituals looming, is it too much to ask that they stop hurting us with their whorish stupidity? Is it possible that they don’t know the term “heads up your asses” is not literal and will not prevent additional items from being inserted in that region? Keep up the good work Yahoo… I’ve only got one of your bookmarks left… and I could use the space.
Update: looks like I’m not alone in my displeasure with Yahoo

QuickTime 7 required.The Greatest Jello City in the World?
While I disagree to San Francisco being “the greatest city in the world” (or even in California for that mater), I will admit it looks pretty sweet in Jello…

Some local notes about SF… folks here hate it when you call it “Frisco”… so naturally I always do. And in the Valley, Silicon Valley (Junction… Peticoat Junction), when they say “the city” they mean SF, leaving “downtown” to mean San Jose. And yes, I know the way to it.
Rock It Man!
