Appreciate this bit of fun…

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

In case you missed it, yesterday (the last Monday in January) was Bubble Wrap appreciation day. Some sort of silly, sort of addictive fun for those of us who don’t work in the business.

Enjoy Bubble Pop, in case you don’t have any bubble wrap on hand to pop in celebration

Misplaced papal modifier…

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Heard on the radio this morning, regarding the victims of the earthquake in Italy…

“…chocolate eggs were distributed to the children supplied by the Pope.”

It was an apparently well-kept secret that the Pope keeps a supply of children to share with victims of disasters.

Just when you thought you knew all the important holidays…

Where is George?

A fun diversion: www.wheresgeorge.com

It’s just a fun way to follow the money.

This site has been around for a while and I was just reminded of it. I received a dollar bill with the stamp on it and logged it in.

The guy who entered this dollar bill has entered about 2,400 other bills.  Surprisingly, it took one year and 118 days for this bill to be logged in the second time, and it has only traveled 30 miles from its origin. I wonder where it was for the last 483 days and why no one else logged it in.

Have you ever tracked your money this way?

Malign communications influences?

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

In Don’t Worry, Be Happy in a recent issue of Fortune magazine, Stanley Bing renounces the following types of bad influences, in re our economic situation :

  • Executioners
  • Rear admirals
  • Insecurity analysts
  • Economists
  • Weasels

“My goal is to live through this situation and to worry as little as possible and be as happy as I can while doing so.”

A voice of reason.

Thank you Stanley Bing. Whoever you are.
