Demo

★ As im writing this I’m demo’ing an app I developed in the conference room to department heads. It is so hard to pretend like I care what these people are saying. I guess the problem is pretending that I’m actually listening to what they are saying.

Thats funny to me

Just when you think ‘I need more Hoff’

★ I know what you’re thinking. There just isn’t enough ‘Hoff’ on the internet. That David Hasselhoff myspace profile just doesn’t quite do it for you. Well David Hasselhoff feels your pain, and no one understands where you’re coming from better than him. David Hasselhoff recently launched a social network centered around himself. its ‘Hoff Around The World’.

The introduction from the front page of Hoffspace:

In my travels round the world I have always been surprised that no matter where I go people recognize and know me, from Europe, Australia and India to the Philippines and the Zulu Nation in South Africa. This got me thinking… I realized that while two people from two entirely different countries and backgrounds may seem to have nothing in common, the only thing they might have in common is me… So I decided to start a network where people from across the world might come together and get a conversation started over me. Where it will lead, I don’t know but the world would be a better place if everyone talked a little more to each other…

That’s funny to me.

John McCain defines statute of limitations on character

★ According to Wikipedia:

John McCain cheated on his first wife in 1979. His first wife, Carol, had been severely crippled in a car accident while McCain was in Vietnam. Shortly after he returned from Vietnam he began having an affair with a woman half his age. A year later he divorced his crippled wife and married his mistress.

When pressed on the issue by reporters, John McCain said:

“…It is irrelevant what I did 20 to 30 years ago”

If cheating on his wife is ‘Irrelevant’ because it happened 28 years ago, then shouldn’t his service in the Vietnam war be considered irrelevant also?

Rule of thumb

★ A good rule of thumb: try to avoid doing stuff that’d be awkward to explain in an ER.
That is all.

Labels

★ I hate the way society labels people. Why do people feel like they have to attach a label to someone based on what they do, or how they act. Why can’t they just let me do me. I just hate labels. In fact I think that you might even say that I’m ‘anti-label’… Damn, did I just label myself.
