I give myself a point every time I spellcheck an email and get busted for a word that is not acceptable to Microsoft but is acceptable to me. I got 3 points for an email I just sent that contained the words "bloglines", "woot", and "FTW."
Woot for Internet slang. I can't wait until I have kids. I am going to be so confused.

Biking
So I biked to work today. It was more out of necessity than anything since my beloved Volvo is in the shop. According to my nifty bike computer this was a total of 2.01 miles in 12 minutes. To be fair there are 2 gnarly hills.
By the time I got to work my shirt was soaked through. When is it ever 80 degrees and 65% humidity at 8am in San Diego! I mean give me a break here.
On the plus side there were some coworkers who saw me bike in sweating like a pig. I know they must secretly think that I just finished an epic ride or something. Oh ya.

Most Popular
One of my daily visted websites is Yahoo! News Most Popular. It displays the top 10 articles and pictures for the day in 3 different categories; Most Emailed, Most Viewed, and Most Recommended. I couldn't help but relish the juxtaposition of today's most viewed and most recommended pictures.
What we recommned to others: Destruction in the Middle East
What we actually want to look at: Pretty girls

Prognostication
I remember reading this article and chuckling back in 2004. He He, 5 blades. No way.

Then right around the super bowl they put out this bad boy.
Gotta love SNL for taking it to the logical extreme with the Platinum Mach 14.
During all the hullabaloo I went electric...

Inconsistencies
Two inconsistencies have been on my mind this week. They are very minor things but I haven't written about anything in a while.
Don't Shoot the Messenger - We all know this phrase and many of us have probably used it as a defense. Working in a corporate office I know I have. However, I really enjoy giving someone good news even if I had absolutely nothing to do with it. When they respond with excitement and give me big hugs I certainly don't say "Don't Praise the Messenger!"
Raisins and Prunes - What makes these guys so special? They are just dried grapes and plums. I have eaten at least a dozen different dried fruits before and none of them, save these two, get special names. Dried apples are called dried apples, not wizzgimbos or any other bizarre name.
