Silly Google Putty is for Kids

It seems that some Google employees have more money than brains.

This Google “Associate Product Manager” ordered 250 pounds of Silly Putty to play with.

All I can afford is 2 pounds of dried up Play Doh.

Festivus for the rest of us!

 

This December 23^rd our family will gather for Festivus. No phony gift exchange, no tree, no fruit cake or annoying holiday music. Just plain old Festivus.
Out from the crawl space comes the shiny aluminum poll, there is nothing like a bare aluminum poll to celebrate Festivus. Bare aluminum is ideal because it’s very high strength-to-weight ratio and very low maintenance. In the evening our family will gather for the Airing of Grievances, a Festivus tradition for all to vent their hostilities toward each other.

 

There is nothing more gratifying than telling your loved ones how much they have disappointed you throughout the year.

After the Airing of Grievances we sit down to the traditional Festivus feast of leftover meatloaf and spaghetti with red sauce. Yum. Then we perform the Feats of Strength where the head of the household must be wrestled and pinned to the ground by a chosen family member thus ending festivus.

 

Happy Festivus from all of us!

Happy Birthday HTTP!

They grow up so fast, don’t they? Happy Birthday HTTP!

From Mosaic to Yahoo to Google, it seems like it all just happened yesterday… CNN celebrates 15 years of the Web and the 10 greatest moments on the Net.

“In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee launched the World Wide Web, a multimedia branch of the Internet.  With Berners-Lee’s “http protocol,” computer jockeys the world over began making the Net easier to use with point-and-click programs.
Browsers such as Mosaic and, later, Netscape Navigator would help popularize the Web, and let a billion Web pages bloom.”

Solid Gold XBOX 360 Face Plate on EBay

What do you get Bill Gates for the Holidays? A 24 Carat Sold Gold XBox 360 Face plate of course!

“This thing is AMAZING! When my friend brought the plate over, there was this heavenly *clunk* sound that resonated through the house as it hit the counter top. MAN- I just wanted to grab it, whack him over the head with it, and run… My precious!!!! It was very strange to hold. As I looked at it, I saw a face plate, but it felt like I was holding an anchor. (Again, thoughts of whacking entered my mind.) By far the coolest part of this item is that it is functional… well maybe it’s the second coolest part. Obviously the fact that it is 900 grams of solid gold is the coolest part. But what I mean is- this isn’t a “museum” piece that just sits on the mantle… you actually use it! After all, it’s the price of a man’s toys, not his art, that separates him from the boys!

My friend is very unique. He is very frugal and clips coupons for Arby’s beef and cheddar sandwiches and yet owns a matching pair of black and white Diablos because they, “look nice together like that don’t they?”, as he puts it. Just before he left with the plate I told him it must be nice to be so stinking rich to be able to afford these kinds of eccentric toys. He just smiled and chuckled saying, “I’m not rich… I’m poor. I’m a poor man. But I am rich in friends!” I guess I feel better about not whacking him on the head.”

$36,000 900 Gram SOLID GOLD Xbox face plate is for sale on EBay.
