The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks

Okay...last link to another blog for awhile. This is hilarious. It was a blog of note, so you might have already seen it. People send in pictures from all over of signs with unnecessary quotation marks. Check it out...you'll get a good laugh.

Stuff White People Like

Okay...regardless of the title, it's a really funny, ironic read. Check out this really cool blog:

My favorite is #101: White People Love to Be Offended. Below is the start of this entry:

"To be offended is usually a rather unpleasant experience, one that can expose a person to intolerance, cultural misunderstandings, and even evoke the scars of the past. This is such an unpleasant experience that many people develop a thick skin and try to only be offended in the most egregious and awful situations. In many circumstances, they can allow smaller offenses to slip by as fighting them is a waste of time and energy. But white people, blessed with both time and energy, are not these kind of people. In fact there are few things white people love more than being offended.

Naturally, white people do not get offended by statements directed at white people. In fact, they don’t even have a problem making offensive statements about other white people (ask a white person about “flyover states”). As a rule, white people strongly prefer to get offended on behalf of other people."

Sydney and Mario Kart Wii

So for part of Mother's Day, I got Lisa Mario Kart Wii. We used to play Gauntlet on the Xbox together, and had a lot of fun, and we both miss those times. Anyway, so Sydney and I are playing while Lisa's at the grocery store and the babies are sleeping. I got hit by a red shell and Sydney exclaims "it's ok, partner!" She is hilarious. She keeps coming up with new phrases that just make me laugh. Or while she takes her kart into the water or lava she sings "IIIIII'm taking a baaaaaaath". Just random outbursts that really make my day.

Moore Engineering Corporation

Well...the day has finally come. I've always been wary of starting my own company, just for the fact that most of my friends who've started a company, have had it go under in less than two years. Well, if someone you know needs software development, etc. give me a call.

My brain: a tangent in itself

Here are a few of the tangents my brain took lately:

East Seas

Tangent 1: I was home teaching, with my companion talking about some really good Chinese food he had recently, when I suddenly had a strong memory of eating Vietnamese eggrolls at East Seas. I haven't been there for at least 5 years, but I could just taste the goodness.

Tangent 2: When we left, I realized probably the last few times I was at East Seas, I was working for Microsoft.

Tangent 3: I recently had lunch with some old friends that I worked with at Microsoft.

Tangent 4: I remember talking to Okie about a game we used to play (Rogue Spear/Urban Ops).

Tangent 5: I remember a game we used to support while in testing (Under a Killing Moon), that I loved, even before working there.

Tangent 6: I remember how much I loved the music from that game.

Result: I now have a Tex Murphy ringtone. Thanks East Seas.
