There is a tremendous disconnect between what I type and what people read.  I’ve only recently started to realize this.  I always blamed it on the Frank Zappa-ism, “People are stupid”, but it turns out there are many finer points to the equation.
By no means am I stating that people aren’t stupid - heaven forbid. I [...]

As you probably know by now, I work in IT.  IT can mean many things to many companies.  I have been asked to set vcr’s, dub VHS tapes to DVD’s, fix cell phones, and most everything else except plumbing.  And it’s only a matter of time until the plumbing request pops into my inbox.
Some companies [...]

So the move was completed at 4pm, with a bunch of tired, sore IT folks limping out into the rain.  We knew it would get interesting the first time it rained in the new area.  Even if there were no leaks, the noise would make it sound like World War II, with the rain banging [...]

My company, previously and hitherto referred to as the Twilight Zone<tm>, is not a normal place to work.  Or visit.  Or drive past in a hurry, pretending you don’t notice it.  As a not normal place, it tends to attract not normal employees (as if I wasn’t enough by myself).
Among the weirdities is the moving.  [...]

X Files star David Duchovny has voluntarily entered rehab for sex addiction, his lawyer says.
I know I’m not supposed to make fun but I just can’t help myself.  Maybe I can get into a program for compulsive wiseasses.   But seriously, folks, I like David Duchovny (at least from the little I’ve seen).  He seems [...]

I seem to be having rather a good time at the expense of the TSA lately.  In my defense I have to say that I’m not making this stuff up.  The TSA is just doing me the favor of being a particularly good target in the past few weeks.
The latest brouhaha (boobhaha?) took place at [...]

My fellow Lockergnomie, Pablo Richie, revealed today that Microsoft just signed Jerry Seinfeld as their new spokesman for Vista.
Since they’re two of my favorite targets, I could not help myself - I had to comment:
