Link of the Day [10.15.08]

This should be tomorrow's link of the day, but I am posting it for you
today to remind you that it will be Boss's Day. You should get your
boss a nice card, some candy, and some flowers. You should pat them on
the back and say, "Thanks, for letting me keep my job." When your
performance appraisals come through, that suck-up maneuver will not be
wasted, and you will be rewarded with another year of work.Boss's Day was devised by the Chamber of Commerce. It was probably a
self-congratulatory move by them and was created to remind the workers
who really is in charge. I imagine celebrations taking place in the
little conference room. Everyone looking like they want to be somewhere
else. The boss comes in and everyone mumbles an unenthusiastic chorus
of "For he's a jolly good fellow." Small talk follows for a few minutes
while the cake is being handed out, but when it's gone everyone is back
to their desks. Only the boss lounges around chatting with the
suck-ups. I think this was an episode of "The Office?"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss's_Day

I didn't see any of the debates. My blood pressure is borderline high
already. I didn't watch any of the news coverage of them as well. I
have no idea what any of the presidential candidates really plan to do
once elected. I could care less as my vote is for removing the
Republicans from office, any and all of them.http://www.thatone08.com/

I'm watching a co-workers USB fan cool her down in this unseasonably
warm, humid day, and I wish I had one. That's a great use of the unused
USB ports on my work desktop. I doubt that the IT department would like
it though.I'm looking for cool USB devices. I've seen a few: coffee mug warmer,
refrigerator, christmas tree, fake fish tank. I've also seen some crazy
devices out of Japan, most notably a simulated bomb. It doesn't blow up
by acts as a countdown timer. I would like to get these "humping dogs"
as they are hilarious except that they won't be so hilarious the next
day. Have you seen any cool USB devices?http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/9c89/

I’m in a love-hate mode. I’m in a pirating mode. I’m in a take it for me mode. I just need to watch some anime. And to watch some of the ones I want, I have to turn to finding fansubs. You’ll usually find them on the underground.

Now I’m not saying do it, but you got to do what you got to do.

Get me some anime!

Recently, at a dinner party at my mom’s for a friend of a friend, one of the guests asked me about the Republican VP nominee. Ugh. Really. It isn’t polite to bring up politics at the dinner table, but I was game. I said that I can’t understand a word she’s saying, and every time she’s on tv I cringe. It’s more likely that I find it outright embarrassing for her to be so incoherent in front of the whole nation. You could probably get a whole room of monkeys pounding away at typewriters, and they would produce a more coherent mishmash of nouns, verbs, and adjectives to form a competent thought.

How are we to take seriously this VP candidate when you know that the man who put her on the ticket is so insincere?
