I thought of this play on words and was inspired to make this design. You can get t-shirts, stickers, and more.

One of my "Be patient, I'm older than…" series. I came up with these when our kids were being a bit judgemental and I had to remind them just how different things were when I grew up and to give me a little grace.

They understood better when I put it in context of things they can't imagine life without!

This is one of the funniest and geekiest things I've seen a while. Chances are less computer oriented people won't enjoy it as much, but I thought it was hilarious.

One of my heroes is Paul Levy who spoke at the 2006 Computers, Freedom, and Privacy Conference in DC. He works at public citizen and is one of their main guns when it comes to protecting people online. You see, companies have this bad habit of bullying people out of their domain names or first amendment rights. Public Citizen offers free legal services in defense of innocent people in the face of bad corporations everywhere.

Their latest: a situation where a company sent a cease and desist letter with an interesting twist. They claimed that the cease and desist letter was copyrighted and that posting it online would result in a lawsuit. This, of course, was to try and prevent someone from making the letter public in an effort to get public opinion on their side.

Well, Public Citizen has a copy of the letter and has posted it on their site along with their excellent response explaining why sending a letter like that is a waste of time.

Geeks are great 🙂

I found this while cleaning out some mail folders and I think it's still very relevant. Why Geeks and Nerds Are Worth It…

My favorite:

You’ll almost never have to hear, "Yaw dawg whazzap!!" plop out of their mouths. Unless it’s in jest. They spell properly, use correct punctuation, and are able to tell the difference between the toilet and the floor. They almost never get "wasted", so you won’t have to worry about coming home to find him and his friends passed out on the floor amidst a pile of beer bottles. Mt. Dew cans, perhaps...

Using a sound board to deal with debt collectors. Ha!

This isn't really relevant to anything, but is very, very funny. Apparently the guy in this video has been harassed by a debt collectors for a while because he has the same last name as someone else with a debt. His way of dealing with the problem? Record a bunch of Judge Judy sound clips and use them during the telephone conversation to talk to the debt collector.

The best part is, this debt collector ends up having an entire conversation with a computer!
