Ftrain Googlewhack

I know the whole Googlewhacking thing is so six months ago, but I came up with an amusing one tonight whose solitary result is a page from Ftrain: tuskophile smile.

Incidentally, my favorite piece ever from Ftrain is this one: Looking at the Numbers. Now c'mon, Paul, let's see the code for the Sitekit already.

SUV's

This link is too funny: Blingin' It With Your New SUV. I hate people who own SUV's and only use them to drive back and forth to work and the grocery store. I just don't understand - do they really have so much money that they like throwing an extra $100 a week into the gas tank? Does it make them feel better to know that if they get in an accident with me, they'll definitely kill me, as opposed to just maybe killing me? Do they really find that they need the ability to scale an 8" wall during the course of their everyday driving? And, seriously, I have seen H2's at work parked in the compact spaces. Please.

Funny as Hell

Seriously, dooce.com is one of the funniest weblogs I've ever read. If you've never been there before, go there right now and read some posts, especially this one and this one ... and this one.

And this one.

Hell, just hit the archives page and read them all.

Custom Calendars

I really like having calendars around, for the same reason you will never see me without a watch. I'm not exactly sure what that reason is, but it involves me liking to know exactly when and where I'm at. Since I'm too cheap to buy calendars to hang everywhere I spend time, I looked around and found a useful site for making and printing custom calendars. It's not too much to look at, but it does its job. Last month I made a Little Nemo calendar to hang in my cube at work, and this month I made one with a brontosaurus on it (I guess no one told them that it's not called a brontosaurus anymore). Fun!
