Perl would be Voodoo - An incomprehensible series of arcane incantations that involve the blood of goats and permanently corrupt your soul.
Fantastic.
Oh, and for you non-programmer types, here’s an example of PERL.
Ok, maybe that’s not fair because it uses regular expressions which look confusing anyway… or at least it appears to, and that’s the point. But this was...
Does Gaming at Work Improve Productivity? →
A number of companies have found that using video games as a way to reward employees for reaching their goals or increasing their productivity can improve office productivity and morale.
Managers (and especially new managers ;-) take note. I’ve said for a long time, nothing builds a strong cohesive work team like seeing your office-mate, zooming in on his head, and pulling the trigger on...
Taylor Christmas Videos →
Megan was putting together Christmas cards for friends and family. Taylor, being three, was of course very interested in the process. I grabbed the video camera and caught this three minute video of…
WatchI kinda hope the dude is ok. Because I’d hate to laugh as hard as I did at someone that really got hurt!

How Much Action Is There Really In An NFL Football... →
By the end of the first quarter… the ball had been in play for a total of three minutes and ten seconds… The remaining quarters had followed the first: The second quarter contained two minutes, 58 seconds when the ball was in play The third quarter was the most scintillating with three minutes, 25 seconds of action The fourth quarter, which included a lot of kneeling to run out the...

I’ve been wanting to get some dramatic pictures of the animals in the zoo to print and frame around the house. One of the animals that have caused problems are the sharks, since the tank is low lit,…

Every year the Pt Defiance Zoo and Aquarium decorates their facility with over a half-million lights for the holiday season. We’re members of the zoo, since it’s just down the road from our…
Army Football Uniforms →
Army may have lost the game against Navy, but they had the best uniforms in all of football. These are bad-ass! Love everything about them.
Nike (who designed them) almost makes up for the spoons-in-your-eye bad abominations that they try to pass off as uniforms at Oregon.
Almost.

Time to buy one of those cheap 720p video cams then, I guess.

Viewers were encouraged to text in their reaction to the viewing.
One of the first comments, according to the commentators: “More cheerleaders.”
ROTFLMFAO! See, I’m not the only one.
Dell Mini 9 - Practical Developer's Review →
Even if you don’t get a Mini 9, as long as your expectations are set appropriately for what the machine can do, you’ll love your netbook.
I can’t agree more. I bought an Asus EEE PC, with very similar specs, except I got the SATA hard drive, and I love the thing - I bought it for using on the MS Connector bus that I take to work most days now.
I am generally running multiple...

Inadvertent whistle costs title →
First, Vacaville Christian High School was celebrating its second straight Sac-Joaquin Division VII title Friday night after Drake Wiest returned a kickoff 50 yards for a touchdown with no time remaining. Minutes later, the Falcons were crying foul after officials ruled that an inadvertent whistle had stopped the play just as Wiest had picked up the ball. What the hell?
While you should never...

Actns/Swif.T virus affecting embedded YouTube... →
Apparently some sort of relatively aggressive virus is affecting certain embedded YouTube videos. Some are saying it affects IE and Firefox users, while others say it’s only going after IE. The virus is called Actns/Swif.T and seems to contain a redirect to a phishing website embedded within a SWF file. The site apparently installs Antivirus 2009, which is malware. We’ll pull our most recent...
Strange experiments →
Scientists now have manipulated people’s perceptions to make them think they have swapped bodies with another human or even a “humanoid body,” experiencing the sensations that the other would feel and giving the illusion of being inside the other’s body.

If you look into my google search history and find the phrase, “napkin folding,” I will deny ever typing that. Congratulations Jeff, you just made my tumblr account! Because that is funny.
