OMG SWEAR WORDS
Category: economy

Albert L. Lord -

How good is this? Steve, let's go. There's no -- no questions. Let's get the fuck out of here.

The head of Sallie Mae, at the end of a financial conference call said this, causing the price of Sallie Mae stock to drop 20%, apparently.

If he keeps swearing maybe they will go out of business and none of you will have to repay your student loans.

IE8 passes Acid2:

(Acid2 Guide

)

If that is not exciting for you, don't worry, but it is for me. And, Internet Explorer, Welcome to the 21st century, you old heap of junk, you!

I'll believe it when I see it. I'm in the pit of my bitter little developers funk. Why are we such cynical bastards?

Microsoft: raising the bar for the lowest common denominator.

That's awesome, we should see widespread adoption by 2012.

Lunch

We went to Buffalo General Hospital today. Pretty good food. Including what was apparently an 18" steak egg roll.

jenks you havent noticed a decline in the quality of the roswell food?

mrdeadlier - 12/19/07 20:55
jenks i respect your opinion even though you are wrong ;)

jenks - 12/18/07 23:35
i disagree. I still think roswell's caf kills the Kaleida Kafe.

imk2 - 12/18/07 21:10
i'm glad i'm not the only one that has noticed that roswell food has gone down in quality. i think it has a lot to do with the fact that the head chef that was there left about 6 months ago and the standards he had implemented while he was there left with him too.

i wonder if i should write another letter to roswell big wigs to let them know my (and your) thoughts on the matter. maybe i should blog about it, maybe we all should.

james - 12/18/07 16:05
they are holding the good food ransom until Jim's project is done.

And (e:Terry), I shot tea out of my nose reading that. ^_^

paul - 12/18/07 15:50
Sounds healthy. Glad to see Buffalo General has healthy food just like Roswell. Seriously, why is the Roswell food so sub par now.

terry - 12/18/07 15:21
(e:paul) wsa there at the same time having a very different kind of lunch. :p

mrdeadlier - 12/18/07 15:06
An 18" egg roll with FREAKING STEAK AND CHEESE IN IT.

Flu
Category: sick

I thought my stomach was tied up in knots due to stress, turns out it's the stomach flu. If only all things were as easy to solve as just waiting a couple days.

paul - 12/17/07 18:13
I think twitter does to writing what MTV does to attention span. Soon people will not be able to write more than a sentence.

jim - 12/17/07 15:14
Yeah, I'm afraid of visco-toxins :::link:::

paul - 12/17/07 15:09
My stomach ache started out with my thinking it was a stomach flu. Didn't you just have the stomach flu a little while back? Good luck. Watch this be the early stages of laptop induced stomach illness or something crazy.

On a per word ratio, your posts will be blank inside of a week ;)

jim - 12/17/07 14:21
My posts are getting shorter and shorter. The mal effects of twitter, I suppose.
