"Only 2 bolts left over - that's better than the last one!"

I'm a gay man in my early 50's and even I thought - "Oh, buddy, friends don't let friends live STUNNED."

About 100 years ago, I got my first IT job - junior programmer for the university I was attending at the time. I started on a Wednesday and the lead, Dave, spend Wed-Fri showing me where the sources were located, how compiles were done, how to do the paperwork to promote the production, the usual stuff.

By popular request I should probably have the world's first "open casket cremation."

When I get a 'sent from my ....' message, that person gets classified with people who's phone beep each time they key a letter into a text message: semi-literates who simply just don't know how to turn them off.

Well now I can't. HA!

I've been using this technique for quite a while. A few sites (and my job's network security) need a cap or two and a number or two. I usually use a rule like "cap each word and the 1st vowel of 2nd word is a number" giving me something like: "GreasedD1rtyMemories"

My philosophy: Whether or not they're working for minimum wage or less, I'd still tip. (And if it was outlawed, I guess I'd still break the law.) I hate cooking, I hate washing dishes even more.

I tried most of them and settled into Feedly. I was a VERY VERY basic user of Reader - only starred by accident and, being a bad boy who doesn't play well with others, never shared.

Whenever someone's working from home, I always picture them dressed like this:

A few jobs ago, one of my co-workers (I'll call her "T") was a take-charge kind of person: active, strong, pilot's license. One Monday, she arrived, no makeup, hair destroyed, red rimmed eyes, voice sounded like it was about to break. Everyone else decided I should be the one to ask so they gave us a few cubes of…

We have similar experience. In London we booked 4hrs in the Yotel "capsule" hotel at the airport for shortly after we landed (about 6am local time.) A 90min nap, a good shower and change of clothes and we were ready for the day. There aren't many things more refreshing than a shower and a change of underwear. As…

Forgiveness is free - give it away every chance you get.

Are the "Negative"/"Print" captions backwards? The right one shows a much better depth of colour. I'm no photoshop ninja but I'm pretty sure I could "tame" the right one back to a nice shot faster than I could 'punch up' the left one. Also the text on the box on top of the fridge is readable in the right one.

We were in Toronto visiting family and cut through the university one morning. What a great use of space, right? It sure beats the usual square acre of stands. You can't see in this photo but they're also very close to the building entrance but the space between them means walking isn't blocked.

Now if they could design a stable, upright one (like these are Ryerson Univ. in Toronto), it'd make a better use of space.

Almost 5yrs ago - about the time we finally got rid of the landline too. One day I walked into the living room to turn on the TV and get the weather. It was on the channel where we last watch Amazing Race - 3 months previous.

We don't have children but I have to say, over the years, the true melt-down is pretty darn rare. I refuse to scowl at the kid who talks too loud because, well, I'd have to scowl at the drunken, over-loud frats on the other side of the room and, at my age, if I scowled any more I'd start looking (more) like a…

I've always said "Good" isn't necessarily better than "Evil", but "Evil" is a heckuva lot more fun.

How long before Google decides it's not worth supporting and pulls the plug? (Geez the help page still says you can create a "Feed" alert and access it via Google Reader.)
