Mmmmm… Not My Type is like animated emoticons on steroids. It’s so cool. I love it.

Well, I guess it’s a bit like tracing your hand to make a turkey. You know, except with Butts.

I don’t know why I’m not better at games like Slickball The graphics look pretty good for a web game. It’s hard though.

Heh! Now that’s funny!:

“About a year ago I hired a developer in India to do my job. I pay him $12,000 to do the job I get paid $67,000 for. He’s happy to have the work. I’m happy that I only have to work 90 minutes a day, talking code. My employer thinks I’m telecommuting. Now I’m considering getting a second job and doing the same thing.”

I don’t know though. I’m sure the world’s going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Who does what, where and for whom is going to keep bluring. And with the anticipated shrinking of the US labor pool in a few years, that’s probably a good thing in a lot of ways.

Still, I can’t help thinking that a lot of the outsourcing talk and fears is just hype. It’s like the SARS virus. It’s real, but in a way it seems like it’s not.

I went to see Spider-Man 2 last night. It was good, but when did Spider-Man become Superman? I don’t want to ruin it for anybody that hasn’t seen it yet, but the whole train thing… What the hell was that? I never read the comic books, but could Spider-Man really do something like that?

I can suspend disbelief to a point and say OK, he has the proportional strength of a spider. Is he indestructible though? Maybe if they’d kept him a little more human, they wouldn’t have had to go through all the hoops with losing his powers in order to create drama.

Also, it could have been a lot shorter. When did every movie have to run 2+ hours. Some movies benefit from longer running times. Most though, don’t. Take for instance Mean Girls which I also saw over the weekend. That only ran about an hour and a half, which was nice. It ended just when I was ready for it to end. Plus, there were a couple of really nice, dark laughs in it.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

See, now stuff like this is why we invented the Internet to begin with. More of that OK? Thanks.

I never could Poor a Proper Glass of Beer. I also never could read German. via
