Getting tired of that old Windows Start-Up Sound?  How about trying on a serious Mac Start-Up Symphony?

Bob Gentry – the CFO at Finali (now Convergys) – suggested that this reminded him of me.

Thanks Bob – after Amy saw this she suggested that I start using this as my email footer.

I’ve had a life long fascination with toilets which I’ve blogged about several times in the past, including Toto’s awesome throne, a tricked out toilet, and my personal favorite toilet / bathroom in the world.

Today I learned something useful about toilet paper.  I’ve clogged more than my fair share of toilets (c’mon – admit it – so have you).  I now know that I need to check the brand of paper before I do my thing.  No more Charmin for me.  Thanks Joanne.

In today’s “direct mail databases are broken” category, the Huffington Post has a short piece titled “California Man Receives Credit Card Offer Addressed to ‘Palestinian Bomber’”  Of course, the person who received this (Sami Habbas) has been a US citizen since the age of 3 and served in the US Army.  When he called JP Morgan Chase about it, he was greeted with “Yes, Mr. Bomber, what can we do for you?”  I guess the call center “judgment filter” is broken also.

I just IMed a colleague who recently completed a Herculean task.  I asked him how it felt to be done.  He responded “About like a fish feels as he passes through the shark’s teeth on its way to the digestive tract.”  Meditate on that for a while.  Wait – is that a metaphor or a simile?  Where is Amy when I need her?
