Earlier today I saw a guy in a shirt that read:

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don’t make sense
Refrigerator

I laughed.

CNN International included this amusing caption to the feed of Tony Blair’s resignation call….close enough I guess…

So Conan did his first San Francisco roadshow last night downtown at The Orpheum. And we loved it. And of course by “we”, I mean those bastards that actually got tickets for the show. Not me. I dutifully filled out the form at NBC weeks ago when he made the announcement. I got my friends to fill out the form. Near as I can tell, nobody I know scored a ticket.

I don’t know what to say about this. I don’t know where it came from. But Will Ferrell has taken the spot in my world formerly held by Bill Murray–the guy who can make me laugh just by showing up.

So here’s The Landlord – Enjoy!

If the embedded movie doesn’t work for you (or show up properly) head over to funnyordie to watch it there!

I provided a small bit of help to a talented friend setting up her back-end….no wait, that would be website back end…for a new blog. She thanked me by giving me a “part” in her first posted cartoon on the site. I wish I could draw…

Check out Carole’s art and thoughts on LittleCarotte.com. I look forward to seeing more!

I decided early on to put together an Oscars pool for my new co-workers. Most of them are serious cinematics. So I picked a dozen categories and went in search of a Web 2.0 solution for running the pool. Googling “office pool” brought me piles of links to betting sites. There seemed to be several sites hardwired for NFL weekly pools. But I had a really tough time finding a service that would give me some flexibility to do something besides a sports pool.

Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us

Tell me this isn’t awesome. You really need to spend more time on YouTube

Not me. I’m barely in corporate America to begin with. My past and current are packed with tech start-ups, entrepreneurial self-ventures, non-profit, and for-profit but for-service small companies. I haven’t worked for a company as big as 3000 employees since my first job out of school.

For those of you who think that the far-out ideas in politics come only from California, I submit Initiative 957 from the great state of Washington…

Proponents of same-sex marriages have heard for years from the conservative right, that gay marriages make no sense, because marriage exists solely for the purpose of procreation. So, in a put-up-or-shut-up move, the Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance puts forth Initiative 957 that would make it law that those wishing to marry must prove they have the ability to procreate (I’m guessing biological proof of fertility, not an actual demonstration of knowledge of proper technique). Further, should any marriage actually fail to produce progeny after a period of 3 years, that marriage would be “unrecognized”. You can read a bit more here, here and here.

I never really got into the Second Life thing. I went there, I tried on a body, walked into a few trees. But the time it takes to learn how to have sex was evidently beyond my attention span so I didn’t go back (And that’s different than my First Life how?). ANYWAY, the virtual world has been getting a bunch of attention lately, including cover status on the current issue of Inc. Magazine. With folks like IBM saying they plan to drop $10 million into establishing a presence there and other companies setting up shop it seems to have reached the tipping point corporate-wise. And perhaps for its personal users too, as their number reportedly doubled in just the last few months.

America seems, at times, to be intent on adopting stringent Luddite tendencies and shunting all potentially valuable scientific research off to those parts of the world that have a clue. We debate and censure promising areas like stem cell research using a modern version of the if-god-had-meant-man-to-fly-he-would-have-given-him-more -frequent-flyer-miles argument. There were folks who objected to the money spent on fighting HIV by saying that the only folks affected are those who make bad lifestyle choices. Though apparently all the ongoing research on anti-fat pills is ok, because our super-size-it mentality is a product of the bad influence of media and mega-companies, not personal choice.
