clippings

Like galleries, clippings are little bits of text, emails, or other unsortables, that bear mentioning.



permalinkThe Origin of Pets - Wednesday, Dec 12 2001, at 11:37 am (more clippings, kisa)

Thank you Emily for bringing to my attention the recently discovered pages of Genesis detailing the origins of pets.

It's true though, that Kisa seems to be more dog than cat. The best of both worlds, really.

permalinkDeath and Ice Cream - Tuesday, Aug 7 2001, at 10:54 pm (more clippings)

Turning on the radio for the commute home from work: "<cheery>-eavy and backed up through the pass. All lanes should be clear by 7, depending on when the coroner arrives, and that's it for traffic! <same tone>Beat the heat and save $2 when you buy two pints of Ben & Jerry's this week at Safeway!"

We really do take it all in stride now...

permalinkEarthquake report - Sunday, Sep 3 2000, at 1:58 am (more clippings, kvetches)

Argh. 1:40am, asleep for only an hour before Bam. The kicker is that he may have brought along a few friends.

permalinkHoroscope on the ball - Thursday, Aug 31 2000, at 12:52 am (more clippings)

Today's horoscope for Cancer (by Sydney Omarr) reads:

    Cancer: Focus on promotion, production, innovative ways for distribution. You have something of value. Let others know you are aware of it. Get your money's worth."

The funny thing is, that what they said yesterday...

Hmm. Maybe I should have pushed the requested AOLiza donation to a dollar...

Actually a lot of people have asked me why I didn't slap up some ad banners and rake in the cash. I dunno. I'm just so picky about my site that I don't want strange pictures and motives flying all over it. After all, mine are strange enough...

permalinkIllogic: Categorized - Wednesday, Aug 23 2000, at 4:49 pm (more clippings, haha)

Okay, this one's old news, but it's something you should hold close to your heart, not just read and dismiss. It's Scott Adams's Dilbert Fallacies.

Take this link, print it out at 25% size, and keep it in your wallet or purse. Keep it with you for a week, and check them off as you see each logical error applied around you. See if you can collect all 32!

Here's one to start you off: "I didn't get caught jaywalking today, therefore it's legal. to jaywalk."

permalinkToday's National Bad Poetry Day! - Friday, Aug 18 2000, at 1:33 pm (more clippings, storytelling)

So, to do my part for king and country (okay, just country), here's my poem:

    There once was a man from Kentucker,
    who's car was a really old chukker.
    He'd wash it each day,
    and often he's say,
    "If my car was a girl I'd give her a lube and oil change every 3,000 miles."

Sorry about that.

permalinkDilbet's Salary Theorem - Thursday, Jun 1 2000, at 10:10 pm (more clippings, haha)

Okay, it was spam from a friend, but cute enough to post:


Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that:
"Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as business executives and sales people."

This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two postulates:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time,

Since:
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money

Knowledge = Work/Money.

Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work / Knowledge.

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.

Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.


So, who can find the hole in the logic?

permalinkTimely web weather - Sunday, May 14 2000, at 12:45 pm (more clippings)

Sometimes the timeliness of the web can get the beter of you. Check out this weather forecast I saw today at SFGate (archived for your convenience).

It's good to know the raindrops falling on my head are just my imagination!

permalinkReverse Chain Letter - Thursday, May 11 2000, at 2:16 pm (more clippings, communication)

Do you have those friends or old coworkers who you haven't talked to in years, and the only way you know they're alive is when they dig your name out of their address book so they can send off a chain letter?

Well, on a lark I came up with the solution. It's called the Reverse Chain Letter and it just might change the world (if we're lucky).

Download it and use it. Please.
