Back when the commercials sucked worse than the coffee…

Of course, if he tried this today, “Harvey” would be in the emergency room with 3rd degree hot coffee burns to the groin while being served his divorce papers… On the other hand, if the coffee was so bad that instant was an improvement, maybe ol’ Harv had a point…

Whatever happened to Windows, anyway?

Wow. I just looked at Amazon’s top selling notebooks, and you have to get to number 6 before you find a Windows machine among them — and it’s the only one in the top 10.

1. Asus EEE 4G (Linux)
2. Macbook 2.4GHz White (OS X)
3. Asus EEE 4G Surf (Linux)
4. Macbook 2.0GHz White (OS X)
5. Macbook Pro 2.2GHz 15″ (OS X)
6. HP Pavilion (Windows Vista)
7. Macbook Pro 2.4GHz 15″ (OS X)
8. Macbook 2.4GHz Black (OS X)
9. Nokia 810 (Linux)
10. Asus EEE 8G (Linux)

You have to get to number 14 before you even find a second Windows machine.

Wow.

I’m just sayin’

Random Nonsense

Mac users are teh snobs.

According to this week’s “Official Lost Podcast”, this explains how a Dharma Polar Bear could end up in Tunisia.

The Code is a Lie!

(with apologies to Jonathan Coulton)

This was a triumph.
In my portfolio:
FEATURED SITE.
It’s hard to overstate
my satisfaction.

Web App Development.
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
(Except the sites that are dead.)

But there’s no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on coding
till you run out of cake.
And the AJAX gets tight.
And you make a neat site.
For the projects which are
still alive.

I’m not even angry.
I’m being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke your word.
And stiffed me.

And tore up my invoice.
And broke the session management.
As I wrote you off it hurt because
I was so thrilled for your site!

Now these old screen shots
Are still worth showing as mine.
And you’re out of beta.
Your site’s launching on time.

So I’m glad I got burned.
Think of all the things I learned
For the projects which are
still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you’ll find someone else
to help you.
Maybe offshore it…
(THAT WAS A JOKE, HA HA, MUCH LUCK.)

Anyway this cake is great.
It’s so delicious and moist.

Look at me still talking
when there’s coding to do.
When I look at your site
it makes me glad I’m not you.

I’ve got features to code
Client’s hands to hold.
On the projects which are
still alive.

And believe me I am still alive.

I’m building web apps and I’m still alive.

I wrote your ass off and I’m still alive.

When your site’s gone I’ll be still alive.

When you’ve folded I’ll be still alive.

Still alive.

Still alive.

Zeroes (Heroes Spoof)

NBC turning out to be the responsible party doesn’t make this any less entertaining…

On the other hand, it does give a mild bit of hope that there is a fraction of a clue still living in the creaking old broadcast TV network dinosaurs…

I’ll take “Grande Latte” for $100, Alex

A fragment of conversation while making a bit of after dinner coffee the other night…

“That’s a grinder, right?”

um hmmm.

“And what’s that thing?”

This? It’s a portafilter.

“No, the thing on the front of the grinder, with the handle.”

Oh. Doser.

“And that’s a tamper?”

Yep.

“So what are you attaching the portafilter to?”

That would be the brew group.

“Okay”

(While pulling the next shot…)

“Let’s see… That’s grinder, doser, portafilter, tamper, and brew group?”

Is the question ‘Name five things you will no longer find at Starbucks?’
