Got the strangest cold call today

The woman was from a company that specialized in "Document Concept Management".
After she said "Document Concept Management" my eyes kinda glazed over and I don't remember much of the three minutes that followed.

It's always a shock...

To see people you sorta kinda know appear where you aren't expecting them. Like, say, in a pull quote on a website. Well, at least and I know we can trust these smart Swedes.
The guy I saw the One Man Star Wars has approved of these developers...

For people waiting for the Runway finale.....

go here and read this guy's blog recaps of the Runway episodes. Each one is a delight. I particularly like his little bits of artistic inspiration...
I'm still laughing about a porridge box he mocked up.
Read read read.
(and curse my friend CC for holding out on me with this until now.)

Prop or Permanent? You decide!

I spotted this with a couple of nights ago.
There's no way that this commercial features Shatner's factory-issued nose, right?
Here's the question - is that his "new" nose (Thanks for the referral, Michael Jackson) or was this sniffer part of a gag that didn't make the commercial?
In either case - this is a terrible nose, right?

What a dishonour!

hee hee

A self serving announcement.

I'm in a play. First time in two-and-a-half years!
Music From A Sparkling Planet, by Douglas Carter Beane. I'm playing a somewhat bitter, pop culture obsessed homo. I think the only real stretch for me is that my character has a boyfriend.
Check out the details here.
Come out and see it if you can - we run weekends through October!

We'll use a Laser....

From the often ridiculed "Better Living Through Microsoft" file (sorry ), I have this:
I'm not one who can really report too much on the good/bad of Microsoft, as I'm a Mac user. I mean, I work in IT and support Windows machines and all, but all the problems I see on clients' machines are (by and large) the fault of the client, not Bill Gates. I just blame him in order to make my clients feel like they're not total idiots. If I told them they were total idiots, I imagine they'd grow weary of paying my bills.
Anyway - one thing I have always felt Microsoft did well was hardware. Their keyboards tend to be serviceable (not as good as the old-reliable IBM keyboards of old, but what is?), and I have never had a problem with their mice. The first MS Optical Mouse Explorer that I owned was possibly the best money I've ever spent.
So I was using this Kensington keyboard for my Mac, cause I didn't like the Apple keyboard I'd originally got (and it didn't like getting green tea poured into it), but the space bar busted on it some time ago, and I just hadn't gotten around to replacing it. I finally did this week, got me a MS Wireless Laser Desktop 6000. People - if you want a wireless input solution, buy this fucking set. The keyboard has an excellent layout and feel, and the mouse is a nice weight, and points like a dream! I'm even enjoying the excellent Intellipoint software on my Mac. Bravo, Microsoft. I can now lean back when I surf. Bravo, indeed.
