Everybody's Doing It, So Why Don't We?

Because a blog post about blogs is obligatory, I now point to Lotus's Ed Brill, blogging officially since January 14, 2003. I will now continue my lack of posting about posting.

Making Mistakes

Who the Hell decided that Outlook is a good mail user agent, worthy of the Enterprise? It may be an improvement over PROFS, but it's not good.

I Learn From My Mistakes

While at St. John's College, I was often spare of change. When I did have two quarters to rub together, my first thought was chocolate. So when the candy machine in Campbell's basement ate my quarters and didn't deliver that Hershey's Almond bar, all I had to do was shake it a little, tip it a bit forward, and, uh, catch it as it fell on top of me.

Yesterday I felt the chocolate urge, and went to satisfy it. My first $0.75 yielded chocolate, but the second, that was problematic. The little spiral turned and turned and stopped, leaving my KitKat® stranded inside.

I didn't pull the candy machine down on top of me this time.
