@The Intangible Fancy: Oh, and speaking of Chicago, I recognize those pics.. Jesus, do you live right on the river? Great spot.

@icecreamman: I live just far enough from the skyscrapers in Chicago that I can admire them but not be in one. I like it.

@jayrock423: Yep, that and judging other peoples' narcissism. Bad combination.

@WUSS: Yep.. I love astronomy, but I doubt if I would love making a career out of number crunching at an observatory in the middle of nowhere.

@gerrrg: In his defense, I think the point he was trying to make is that society doesn't tend to think of those example jobs as dream jobs. Yes, he could have phrased it better and calling them "mundane" didn't do any service to his objectivity.

@KyleUndefined: Honestly?

Along these lines, I use a canned response for Gmail when someone accidentally forwards me some batshit crazy political email. I have a common email address and this happens quite often, and I often get stuck in reply-all chains that make me want to scream. Here's the text:

@Ekstor: That sounds really interesting, so I thought I would do a little research on that myth and my own myth.

@Michael Cody: I heard that microwaving coffee changes the chemical makeup somehow, and that really sours the taste. So I always imagine it tastes worse when I do that. But it could be the placebo effect..

@Jeremey Bingham: So my wife, which has celiac disease, and can't eat gluten, shouldn't leave the house? It's psychological when she ingests wheat and spends the next hour in the bathroom in agony?

@Izod517: I got an antenna from Best Buy to see if I could live without cable using this model. I'm a big sports fan.

Alright, I'm officially adding good.is to my Google Reader. That's the fourth or fifth time I've been referred to a cool article of theirs.

Maybe I'm dense, but it took me awhile to get this.

Crap, I just used it today. I got into an argument with it over which Walgreens I wanted in Chicago. I told it an intersection, but it didn't listen to me. Yea, there are a lot of Walgreens in Chicago.

Does UltraCopy or TeraCopy copy file permissions? Always hunting for good server tools..

@hewhoroams: I don't get it - don't you have the rest of the season? Just make your punishment to wear UM/MSU gear for gameday, even if the two teams aren't playing each other. That would be an incentive for me, as a WVU alum.. no way I would want to wear Pitt gear all Saturday :)

Ya know, I love threaded conversations in Gmail.

Don't think for a second I didn't see that Tshirt you threw in at 0:51, buddy.

Where's the "instant" search for the URL bar? :)
