Star Trek always had the most problematic ship designs. A mouse farts in engineering and cables explode on the bridge. It’s amazing they got out of the solar system at that rate.
I just had to reboot my alarm clock. Think about that for a minute.

Marc Anthony Rosa:
[T]he reality is that college might be a waste of time and energy. And what’s worse is that we idealize this experience as the final frontier for a better, happier, more creative life.

Impossible Alarm Clock
I have a really unique alarm clock and I’m not entirely sure how it came to be, but every morning around 7a it comes into my room and stares at me until I wake up and then says, “Daddy, I used the potty. Here. Help me put underwear on.”
Hello, winter.

Too Fast
He just ran into the bathroom, turned on the light, closed the door, used it, cleaned up, re-clothed, opened the door, and turned out the light.
A couple of weeks ago I was putting his undies back on every time and about all he did was hop on the can. This kid is a fast learner.
I’m sorry, I don’t think I gave him permission to grow up this fast. We’re going to have a talk...

Know anyone that doubts the moon landings? Well, while you’re unlikely to change their tiny little minds, at least you can rest assured we *do* have photographs now. :) (Link is a video podcast.)
We cry out that the 1% have all of our money. Then Black Friday comes and we give them all of our money again.

Excuses for Not Being in Bed
“I have to go potty.” “You’ve been twice. Go to bed.”
“I heard a noise in your room.” “You heard a car pass. Go to bed.”
“I want water.” “You’ve had three glasses. Go to bed.”
“I want a hot dog.” “Maybe for breakfast. Go to bed.”
“Please read to me.” “I read three...

Come on AT&T
I awoke to no wifi. Tragic enough, I compounded this problem by
willingly subjecting myself to AT&T’s support. You see, the U-Verse
gateway was without power and having tested it on other outlets I
pronounced it dead. Ergo, willful contact with tech support.
Contacting support is different when you know what you’re doing. It’s
even more different when you’ve been...
It’s impossible to tell what’s going on in Shaun the Sheep from another room.
Baaaa.
Consider this: for the same price as five 50” 1080p HDTV sets, I can get a single dental implant. Five high tech, high precision devices shipped around the world to my doorstep, or a piece of metal shoved in a jawbone.
Something is very wrong here.

If you listen to This American Life at all you may remember an episode earlier this year about two nurses that were harassed by a doctor and a sheriff for reporting the doctor to the Texas Medical Board. You’ll be happy to know the doctor is in jail.
The sheriff is still a free man. (Of course; it’s still Texas after all.)

I don’t care about tabs v. spaces.
I don’t care about line length.
I don’t care about line breaks.
I don’t care which line the brace goes on.
The problem is not the code. The problem is your editor. This is 2011. Upgrade. Adjust. Move with the times. Focus on the code and not how pretty it looks.
