This is a great video — strangely calming despite being at high speed and then speeded up further

“I wasn’t raised to be such an arrogant, uncompassionate son of a bitch but I somehow managed to get there. You don’t need to know my name. It’s not important. I just needed to get this off my chest and to share this in hopes that someone else like me, will read this and remember who we really are and where we came from. I thought I was a big man but found out today I am very, very small.”

“This is a big contrast to last year’s teacher, the Uptight Hippie—if Nora had punched someone in that class, I probably would have been pulled aside and melodramatically whispered to about “family therapy” and “rage disorder.”" — LOL!

“I was asked a simple question by an investor last week, “what’s the one thing you think the market doesn’t understand about Sun’s opportunity?”
My response: that the majority of the world will use the internet through their phones, not through a PC.” -
Fantastic advice from Kathy on making your users not only accept but WANT upgrades

So amazingly cool!

“That’s because the late adopters and the laggards have plenty of money and influence–while the early adopters have a short attention span and rank low in persistence.”

Quite random but rather cool

This is hilarious, but the German version is even better!

I know that everyone else has already found and talked about Moo’s Flickr Minicards. I just wanted to heap some extra praise on the pile. I just ordered their free sample for Pro users and was SUPER impressed:
- The interface is fantastic. Simple, intuitive and nicely gelled with Flickr facets like tags and sets.
- They don’t just deliver in the USA! W000000000000000000000000000000t!!!!!
- When they say it’s a free sample, then mean it! So often it’s only free in the US. I selected UK delivery and they didn’t even flinch.
All I have to say today is YAARRRRR!!
Just for the record, this is a joke. But I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon anyway — after all, who can resist following Mr Hicks? 
Incidentally, Elly makes a good point…

This sounds an amazing process — must be very interesting to participate in!

“Yesterday, a fully-functioning recreation of the bombe was switched on for the first time, by re-enactors in period dress, bringing back to life the great-great uncle of the PC.”
Wow this is cool. -
I particularly like “You know what to do next. You don’t have to know what do to after next, because you will when you get there.”

I love this idea — more sites should do this kind of thing.

Absolutely HILARIOUS

White African :: where africa and technology collide » Blog Archive » Oddica: A Tale of Overdelivery“What’s important here is that they OVER DELIVERED in an era of under delivery (+1 point for exceeding expectations). Second, they empowered me to tell others about Oddica by giving me tools that made that job easier.”

“Code coverage and automated testing go hand-in-hand. In my experience, the most important benefit I have gained from applying these disciplines together is regression testing. Regression testing is simply the act of testing to see if your code somehow got broken.”
I can always tell that I’m getting especially stressed when stuff like this happens. I was working late and in an attempt to keep my blood sugar levels from going haywire tipped a handful of nuts out onto a sheet to eat. Looking over a few minutes later, I realised that I’d absentmindedly been sorting them into piles whilst continuing the technical testing I was doing…

“You scam for 50 years and now the internet allows buyers to get the best price. Cry me a river.”
Matt cracks me up -
“The best camera is the one you actually carry.”
This is exactly what happens with me. And the reason every photo I have on Flickr is from my cameraphone -
Too funny. I love how expressive his face is.

Today’s Dilbert is absolutely hilarious. Career sabotage at its most realistic…
You know how TV ads always seem to be louder than the programmes they intersperse? I’m sure that the advertisers believe that this will draw our attention to them, but I think the real impact is really not as good for them.
If you were watching your show at the right volume, the ads are then too loud. So you immediately grab the remote and quiet it down … whilst it’s in your hand you might as well flick channels, right? Net, you’re not too likely to watch those ads.
Even if you don’t change channel and decide instead to go make a cup of tea or something, you can rely on the ads to be louder than the programme. So, when you hear the telly go quiet from the kitchen, you know to come back. Net, the “make the ads louder” strategy just makes it more likely that the viewers won’t watch at all.
I think this is what’s called emergent behaviour by game theorists…
