why i fired my secretary today
Friday, June 6th, 2008Last week was my birthday and I didn’t feel very well waking up that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, “Happy birthday!”, and possibly have a present for me.
As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone “Happy birthday”.
I thought… well, that’s marriage for you, but the kids will remember. My kids ate breakfast and didn’t say a word.
So when I left for the office, I was feeling pretty low and somewhat despondent.
The Internet on Trial
Thursday, June 5th, 2008I searched google for “the internet” today. I wanted to see what the internet has to say about itself. This was one of those things >

I propose we invite this (wo)man to coldcakes for a debate with the.mac.data!
The debate can be promoted as: The Internet - shit or ‘the shit’?

A Meditation On Salami, by Michael Ian Black
Thursday, June 5th, 2008Tangier than bologna, rounder than ham, exoticker than turkey, salami has never gotten its proper due. Which is sad, considering that salami IS THE GREATEST LUNCHMEAT IN THE WORLD! If I seem a little overenthusiastic, it is perhaps because salami has so many detractors. Why? For starters, the name: salami. It sounds stupid, like a reject from the Seven Dwarfs. Sleepy, Grumpy, Salami.
Or like an acronym for something else. SaLAMI: Sandwich Lovers All Make It. That’s a terrible example of what the acronym for salami could be, but I think you get my point.
Also, salami seems to awaken the xenophobia in people. It’s kind of Italian, but kind of New Yorky (Jewish), and it seems like exactly the kind of food that terrorists might enjoy. One could easily imagine a group of bearded cave dwellers gnawing on hunks of salami while plotting the demise of the Great Satan. Of course, one could also easily imagine that same group juggling bowling balls on the moon, for the simple reason that imagining stuff is easy.
(A quick note: I’m not ascribing any superhuman juggling abilities to terrorists. Far from it. If anything, juggling bowling balls on the moon would be considerably easier than here on Earth, due to the moon’s lower gravity. Besides, terrorists probably hate juggling, because juggling is one of our freedoms.)

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008u suck at photoshop
Sunday, April 27th, 2008said gov terminator today:
people of california, i promise you this may be way more entertaining [ if possible ] than the fist pump site, because if you cant appreciate the jokes, at least you will learn some good photoshop techniques:
you suck at photoshop
about the authors:
Anyway, one night, they found themselves facing a deadline, with no content. They had long nurtured an idea for a character they thought of as “the Angry Photoshop Guy.” Explained Bledsoe: “We had both been in the agency business so long that after a while we’d seen every kind of person in the advertising world.” One of those stereotypes, he said, was the “insane designer, basically. He has horrible social skills and horrible things going on in his life and the only thing he has going for him is he can out-Photoshop the guy in the cube next to him.”

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008![]() |
today when i was looking at the randy jackson eyewear website i noticed that theres a chat room you can speak to a sales person in. i thought to myself: wow this would be a great way to prank people! i figured there must be like plenty of like-minded pioneers of the internet who have thought of this as well, but to my surprise i have not been able to find too many on the googles. these two links were the only two i could find, after searching for 10 seconds. this is some untapped potential and its our chance to hit it big, friends - forget workin for the man! Chat w Dell (a lil long but it has its moments, e.g. gets dave to talk about his cat) Chat w Lands End (gives me some new ideas for some adz) |

elevator music
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008have any of you seen this footage that surfaced via the new yorker recently?
it is time lapse footage of a dude called Nicholas White, who was stuck in an elevator for 41 hours upon returning to the Macgraw-Hill building after a cigarette break. It’s slightly unsettling but quite beautiful.
All in a days work
Monday, April 21st, 2008I am often researching the internet for leads and over the course of a typical days work I almost always come across a few ‘funnies’ - people, places, and websites that relieve me from the normal humdrum.

so far from this morning - This interesting video i caught on youtube. It’s funniness only became apparent after i realized it was a complete joke. at first i was thinking “how lame is this guy?” because i thought he was actually for real, and taking himself way too seriously. i almost didnt watch the whole video. As it turns out though, i like the effect of setting the expectations low and then slowly delivering a good punchline.
then there was uglybabies.com I have to say i was a bit disappointed with this one though. i found that none of the babies were really that ugly. i think this site falls far short of its true potential. is it that the people with the ugliest babies don’t want to submit their photos? but isnt it true that all babies, even the ugliest ones are cute in the eyes of their own mothers and fathers? perhaps the site should accept stealth submissions from aunts, uncles, the neighbors, friends from church, ..
my conclusion so far is that when you anticipate something lame and it turns into funny, all the more gratifying. but when you anticipate something funny and it winds up lame, its like getting 75 cents for a dollar.
nonetheless, my commendation to the developer of uglybabies, which is after all a pretty nice little niche site.

Thursday, April 17th, 2008I am (somewhat) constantly trying to find things to do in my county, and on a search through the personals section on craigslist I came across this NSFW add:
http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cas/643795749.html
K-bag’s reply to my email summed up my suspicions. Just replace “red necks” with “high schoolers,” and imagine a pilot episode for the next coming of age dramedy. You heard it here first:
i feel like this is an “ingenious” trap conceived of by red necks to catch “queers”.
imagine two hick-type guys who, after arguing with each other as to who should write the ad, came to blows and decided that they could write it together.
they sit at a computer and google images of dudes butts in lingerie.
and they write that masterpiece of an ad.
Compare genitals to musicians . . .
Thursday, April 17th, 2008
so i apologize for being slightly vulgar yet again, but this is pretty awesome.
check out the link for dick jokes using comparisons to musicians:
http://www.somethingawful.com/d/comedy-goldmine/compare-genitals-musicians.php
e.g
“My penis is like Nine Inch Nails. It’s occasionally impressive but nobody cares about it 99 percent of the time.”
“My penis is like heavy metal, it only appeals to fat chicks.”
“My penis is like Henry Rollins, the veins pop out in his neck when he gets excited.”

a dream deferred
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008I don’t know if any of you have seen this, but when you get on the Turnpike (North) at Exit 9 and turn to your right, you’ll see a old, rusty ferry just chilling on the Raritan. I never bothered investigating or trespassing, and NJ.com just announced today that the ferry is going to be taken down.
http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/jersey/index.ssf?/base/news-10/120823413660940.xml&coll=1
Apparently the dude who bought it wanted to start a floating restaurant, but didn’t find out until after purchasing it that it would cost significantly more to build on the water than it would be on the land. He then decided to tow the ferry up the Raritan (during high tides only) to its current resting spot in, no joke, No Name Creek. He has incurred a number of expenses ($1,000 annual licensing fee) keeping it in its state of gradual disrepair since the 1970s, and even now has to spend $4,000 to build a fence to keep people out while it is taken down. His license was finally denied last year, although he did get in back in March when he promised to take it down.
Moral of the story:
We should have gone out there in ‘07, before the fence, when we still had a chance.
