Ultimate Beer Temperature Measurement System

Thursday, November 29, 2007 - 9:03am2 comments

Temperature results after the jump.

Okay — get over the whole boobies-business. Let’s pretend for the moment that we’re civilized and live in Europe.

With the dawn of the new home-bar, I’m thinking I need one of these installed to make sure my Rauschbier is ready for drinking.

To be scientific about it, one should probably have a chart on the wall for comparison, too. ;) (And of course said chart will require some more online research.)

fyi — (NSFW)

Since I’ve been backed up a bit lately — here’s a clever assortment of internet eye-candy to peek at. Click away…

Diversity in the Workplace

Tuesday, November 27, 2007 - 10:50am

I don’t know who came up with this (thanks stumble), but it cracks me up each time. So very very wrong and so very funny…



In today’s fast paced work environment, diversity among co-workers is one of the most exciting — and challenging — aspects of the office dynamic.

Understanding is key, and this brochure, presented as an educational “comic strip,” will educate you, the worker, about diversity and understanding.

This is an example of a BLACK MAN. They are very much like you or I, except they steal cars.

In a multicultural office, there is much room for misunderstanding. So it is best to listen carefully, as different people and cultures have different styles of speaking.

It’s also best to take extra time when explaining complicated ideas to women, as they are dumb and can’t do anything right.
During meetings, it is essential that you make absolute sure that each of your co-workers understands what you are saying. As such, you must ask that they wait until after the presentation before they ask such questions as “Hey boss, I wants some watermelon!” or “Ay caramba! Let us eat the tacos!” Discourage such outbursts by reminding them that you have the number of their parole officer.

IF MYSPACE WERE A PERSON

From pcweenies.

Alright, I’m guilty of indulging too, but you have to admit many many profiles are horrendously hideous. Transparency and poorly chosen colors render text unreadable. And for the love of Jebus — turn off the damn auto-play on your mp3 of the day selection. If anyone wants to listen, they’ll hit play. It’s the equivalent of blasting Bass 305 on your 15 inch subs while cruising in your Geo Metro.

Pug Soup

Monday, November 12, 2007 - 3:35pm

At least that’s what the litter kinda looked like all piled in the corner of their play-pen jostling for attention. Adorable.

Since I’ve moved to Jon De Vaal’s old place (tons of man-space now), Sid has become lonely. Apparently the little guy has really bonded with me and has made it clear the week I’ve been gone. So we’ve decided that Sid would probably be happier living with me. That means I’ve a got a new roommate. Wish I could teach him to fetch beer from the fridge and shovel the snow from the sidewalk! And Mira is happy with this arrangement, too. After all, she doesn’t want me to get lonely either.

So to fill the void, Jen and Mira have gone shopping for a new pug — cause they can hardly be expected to go without one of the cute little creatures. Jen found a breeder through the pug meetup group and we drove out to the middle of nowhere last night to see them.

There were five of them and one little black female was still available. Mira fell in love with all of them instantly — who wouldn’t? After meeting the pug parents and all of the siblings, it was time to go. The wee pup still needs one more vet visit before she’s ready to come home. (Maybe next weekend.) Mira’s still thinking about names, but she is narrowing down the choices.

So with all of the visits back and forth, I’m sure Sid’s gonna love it. In a way it’s like an arranged marriage. But given Sid’s enthusiasm, I’m sure one butt-sniff will be enough to have him on cloud nine.

See the rest of the pics…

Joke of the Day

A teacher asks her class, “If there are five birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?” She calls on little Johnny. “None, they all fly away with the first gunshot.”

The teacher replies, “The correct answer is four, but I like your thinking.” Then little Johnny says, “I have a question for you. There are three women sitting on a bench having ice cream. One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?”

The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, “Well I suppose the one that’s gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.”

“The correct answer is the one with the wedding ring on… but I like your thinking.”

November Snowflakes

Bugger it, anyway. I went out for lunch today and saw white shit falling from the sky. I guess winter really is going to come this year. Maybe it’ll even snow for before Christmas this time. We’ll see.

But what am I complaining about. I like winter. Snowboarding, winter camping, driving in sleet, shoveling… well not the last two.

My camera is fancy and takes cool pics of you and all kinds of stuff. Look for your captured likeness in my gallery and peek at other victims of the camera’s flash.
