microsoft does a bang up job

badger badger badger snaaaaake

badger: funny story, starts off talking about a lady that can't figure out how to use microsoft word - (we ALL know that person, check out this insanity from where I work, which is incidentally an incredibly large pet peeve of mine, I actually reformatted this 15 page document and emailed it back to the person who apparently immediately deleted it from their inbox without a glance) - before spiralling into madness :)

this thread about a shitty roommate is quite a fascinating read for the bored that have a couple hours on their hands. it's funny, scary, not entirely true (in my opinion) and will keep you reading to the last to decide who's really the crazy one

verybigblog

it's finally happened to me! jen at verybigdesign asked me to be a guest blogger and even though I'm going on my first very delayed honeymoon to spain at the same time, I've accepted! not that anyone is still reading here since I stopped posting in august but look for me posting at verybigblog!

yahoo! is genius

everybody remember this ad with ben stein and al franken talking about how democrats and republicans use yahoo!? funny right? it's FRANKENSTEIN! get it? ah? ah? ah? :)

you know this came from jendhi

the amazing cat collection makes me feel 2 things: 1. I wish I could submit dog pictures to these things and 2. I'll be screwed if jendhi ever starts posting these things herself!

grayson

this incredible director has shot a trailer for a non existent movie that is not only the best "hollywood" trailer I've seen in ages, but also for a movie I'd actually like to see. it boggles my mind that they were able to create a trailer without a movie. the director plays the title role and amazingly enough cast the other main, presumably unpaid, characters very well also, the total budget being $18K. view the grayson trailer here, it's really worth the d/l!

move over carly patterson

there's a new dog in town!

how ... um ... pretty

how does she do it?

jendhi always finds the coolest shite, especially this site b3ta zoo. I LOVE this kind of thing, everybody got these email forwards for "free dog needs new home, freaks out the wife" and "cat needs new home..." and somethingawful got into the action with this at times somewhat scary rendition of animal anomalies (just get past the first couple pages, it's totally worth it, wait for the monkey, pg5), but now there's a site dedicated to it! hummus yay!

nerrrrrds

jendhi found this link with all kinds of nerdilicious body adornment, I'm pretty tempted to get the mario pirahna plant now :)

Stroke My Giant Hairy Armpit

Massive, furry sweat glands, and the hot babes who want to have sex with them. Dry pits win!

By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist Wednesday, June 9, 2004

Not normal armpits, silly. Giant, wooly armpits the size of miniature ponies that have weird stubby legs with three (?) bubbly round Play-Doh toes apiece, huge walking armpits with no head and no arms and no genitalia and no discernable reason for existing other than to spread their creepy and disturbing image far and wide in the weirdest and least appealing ad campaign since those cute constipated animated bears hawked Cottonelle toilet paper on TV.

thompson

I don't even get too crazy over cats usually - I mean - you know what I mean - but this is, I have to agree, the best cat in the world! I mean does it get any cuter than thompson? I think I even like the lion cut better than normal. uh oh I better run, I think muddy and belle are planning something evil for me - it was your mommy's fault! she sent me the link!

my new favorite blog

one of the cruel sites of the day was "Bullies Never Prosper": The reason Google exists: So you can look up the person who tormented you in junior high school and discover that she lives a squalid life "in a trailer park in Rancho Cordova." intrigued I read the entry - cruel's synopsis was a little misleading! little digging, front page, cute cat, oh he's dead :( cute name, oh how to get fired with only a felt tip pen? yes please! wow she can draw! hmm why I'm not a wedding planner: The Ex-Boyfriend Table: I want to invite every single one of my ex boyfriends, and seat them all at the same round table, so they all have to spend the reception staring at one another. I am deeply enthralled with the idea of them all glumly saying, "So. dj'ya do'er?" "Yup." "Huh. Good steak, huh?" "Yeah, it's okay." "...Yep." "Watch out for the Wesson oil on your chair, dude." hilarious! what else... dirty picture found in our driveway ... I could stay here all day!

to blog or not to blog

after reading about the anonymous washingtonienne's blog that caused a riot at her workplace I keep coming back to the same question, why can't we keep a blog and keep a job too?

there was the microsoft employee that was fired for posting pictures of his office receiving apple computers, ok posting pictures, microsoft policy...

there was the guy that sent me a million emails to my work and personal addresses and posted them HIMSELF in the comments on my blog before calling my boss threatening something if they weren't removed. my boss not wanting to deal with the headache had me remove them.

there have been lots of people losing lots of jobs over blogs, too many to chronicle for their individual reasons but it seems unjust, are companies putting "no blogging" in their handbooks yet?

jon stewart is so funny

and jendhi always finds the best stuff: from his william and mary commencement speech:

Lets talk about the real world for a moment. We had been discussing it earlier, and I…I wanted to bring this up to you earlier about the real world, and this is I guess as good a time as any. I don’t really know to put this, so I’ll be blunt. We broke it.

Please don’t be mad. I know we were supposed to bequeath to the next generation a world better than the one we were handed. So, sorry.

oh. oh.

I'm thinking about taking that new chick from Logistics. If things go right I might be showing her my O-face. You know: Oh. Oh.

who knew?

dell has come out with their own 15 and 20GB mp3 player that plays up to 16 hours of continuous music. that has the ipod beat battery wise. according to one review, the dell is entering an already crowded market. technically yes, but that market includes my clie that only holds as much music as my memory card which is 128MB. if you're in the market for an ipod, you're in the market for a dell (or nomad or rca). until recently the only other mp3 player in the GB heavy weight category was the ugly archos, that'll never sell ;)

this is great

the infinite cat project, I think I'll submit a picture of digger and bailey looking at the last picture of a cat looking at the monitor and see if it'll get accepted. it can't be anyworse than the 9th picture where the cat is obviously being held to the desk!

update! May 14, 2004:

Hi Jen!

Thanks for the doggity pics. Sorry I can't use them but I try to maintain some degree of diginity here at privatehand.com.

Yeah, right.

Anyhoo, there's always canine reincarnation to look forward to. Maybe if your doggy's lucky she'll get the feline option next time.

Cheers!

when captions attack

jendhi found this weirdo/neato site with random images like this one.

my favorite comment was:

broken and stupid

jim found this great site with all things broken documented like confusing or downright wrong signage. great stuff. entertaining way to waste away your work day. today featured an image from another great site: the navy's site for all things dumb. don't you just love collections? :)

trunk monkey

despite thinking onstar is a win on a slippery slope for big brother, cruel.com uses it to set up the suburban trunkmonkey so well: "Though it's great that OnStar can unlock a car to free a child and notify authorities when you've been in an accident, I want a car accessory that can dispense a righteous beating." heh heh heh

prince inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame

I happened to catch this performance flipping through the channels sunday night. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I ever heard "while my guitar gently weeps" which jendhi had mentioned after hearing the grey album but I had no idea what she was talking about. first of all it's just about the prettiest song ever, 2nd of all there were at least 4 acoustic guitars on stage producing the most beautiful full sound and tom petty and apparently jeff lynne on vocals. breathtaking. even on tv: I can't even imagine how much better it must have sounded to be in the audience. then prince came out on electric and literally stole the show. I felt like how I would imagine I would watching jimi hendrix. I'm adding prince to my list of guitarists.

hellboy, my latest obsession

after splurging like crazy yesterday and getting myself the tim biskup helper AND the roman dirge halfsies (which I ended up getting on ebay because they were all gone from the stores they were to be sold at including hot topic where the girl who answered the phone said in the most extreme valley girl accent I have ever heard, joking or not, oh-my-gawd I TOTALLAY know what you're talking abooout! no we don't have them.) I started surfing for hellboy toys! and why not heh heh. a quick search turned up action figures of varying detail based on ron pearlman's likeness (whatever) but only the following based on the likeness of the incredibly drawn comic: released in 2001 limited edition (750) resin nodder head sculpted by Beverly Gilroy and designed by Mike Mignola and this playmobil set. cool right? don't get your hopes up and try to get one, it's not on ebay, there's only one belonging now and deservedly so to creator Mike Mignola. made by this guy in sweden who painstakingly made them from existing playmobil pieces. so cool.

worse than the blue screen of death

FLAAAAASH!!!!

books

I picked these up when I got my tim burton book, they're cute. my old roomie in sd introduced me to anne taintor, she had a magnet that said "if men are the answer, could we rephrase the question" and when her friend came for a visit got her a little notebook I think it was that said "she liked imaginary men best of all". cute cute.

an internet icon has perished

coolest site ever

tim biskup's helper toy is here!

halfsies!!

I was telling jendhi about the tim burton book I got this weekend when she told me that they show clips of my man, roman dirge's lenore CARTOONS on show in spain. since he's only written 9 comic books and the last came out over 2 years I've been in serious withdrawls, I need those cartoons to LIVE! I also need these new halfsies he created!

quiznos jumping on the band wagon

my coworker sent me this email today:

Have you seen these horrible Quizno's commercials?

they look like deformed rodents. Why would you ever want your food company to be associated with rodents? Why???

I dunno, because lots of people saw the original and quiznos is trying to appeal to those lots of people who saw it?

dammit janet

CB anal-ogy

gotta love the nerds at slashdot for this: for anyone who's ever fallen for the goatse.cx prank, this is for you:

CB doesn't have the visual impact of the net. Take the following exchange:
CB Prankster on 19 "Breaker one-nine"
CB Victim on 19 "go ahead"
CB Prankster on 19 "Hey good buddy, check out channel 17!"
CB Victim on 19 "OK.. *click click*"
CB Victim on 17 "Hi"
CB Prankster Accomplice on 17 "Ha ha! I'm pulling my ass open!"
CB Victim on 17 "Oh dammit, fell for that again.."

lol.

new dog bed

since the sneak is an above average chewer, we've lost 5 dog beds. 2 digger had before bailey came along, 1 we got for bailey in the beginning, 1 replacement bed for digger and the replacement bed we got for bailey is barely more than a piece of material on the carpet that they share. each night we'd come home to, in the beginning, bite size pieces of foam everywhere, the covers dragged out into the driveway, and lately, batting everywhere and holes in the covers too big to hold in the restuffed batting. since no one I know has a dog, lemme tell you, dog beds are major bucks. but my hunting uncle turned me on to cabela's, which has this bed for only $24. it's huge and I can't wait to show the lil guys their new place to sleep. but first I'm going to douse it in chew-stop!

splurge!

since my husband said I could I splurged on this dress and these SHOES for our christmas parties, yay shoes! yay red dress shoppe!

dogs win!

Okay, the researchers at the Medical Institute of Maryland put it slightly differently. They say owning a cat may increase your chances of becoming schizophrenic or manic depressive, but it’s obvious what they’re really trying to say is precisely what dog-lovers have always known; if you like cats, there’s got to be something wrong with you.

beaterz

I'm too exhausted from a long weekend of yardwork and running around to post pictures so check out this hilarious site jendhi found:

stencils!

so after I got my coolisimo banksy print and his two lil books my boss's graffiti side was stirred and he had me stencil our parking spots and has plans for spray painting a big logo somewhere, maybe on our backdoor since our landlord just finished painting the front of the building ketchup and mustard and would have a heart attack if we "ruined" it hehehe
[check it out, it's lame but I'm pretty proud of it! I cut it out of bristol but it still made my finger hurt for like 2 days]	and then I found this online store karmaloop which sells the brand new obey line. so mike got a pair of jeans and it came with this lil "propaganda maker" which I assumed would be a sticker until I turned it over and saw that it was a STENCIL! bayaaad!

friendster fees?!

friendster

my name is jen and I'm a friendsteraholic *hiiii jeeeennn*
no but seriously, I haven't been this excited about something since jen and I got wet suits and that was some serious excitement, all we could say was "wet suit!" it was like a new language where wet suit was every noun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition and pronoun we needed. aaah those were some fun times, riding in my scout, driving off curbs and peeling out trying to brake, going to santa cruz and capitola every weekend...
*shakes head and comes back to reality*
yeah so friendster is fun! go sign up 'n stuff!

neil armstrong - the awful truth

"In 1969, Neil Armstrong made history by becoming the first man to walk on the moon, uttering the immortal phrase, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Or did he? Previously suppressed footage discovered by blogjam shows that Armstrong's reaction was a great deal more uninhibited than history suggests, and that a hasty editing job was needed to prepare the astronaut's moment of glory for broadcast."

I wanna be her!

so mike and I were wandering around old town on the 4th and came across this killer shop that carried lots of gama-go stuff so I'm like omg! gama-go! the lil girl that runs the shop asked me if I like it - of course I love tim biskup! well she has a picture of him with his lil baby "tiger lilly" (that he has with wife and artist seonna hong) from his gallery showing at the la luz de jesus (that I missed ) in her pda. oh yeah and he hangs out with paul frank and shag. I think it was at that point that I plopped down my credit card for $90 for 2 items. as we left mike said, you wanna be her, huh?

go, baby, go!

since I'm going to vegas this weekend, along with the nwe finishing department, and 2 of my coworkers, some helpful sites have come to light such as vegas freedom and what a bitchin' site it is! like totally, for sure monsieur, you guyssss I'm sseriousssss!

gary baseman

I'm going thru the new comm arts annual and I come across this guy gary baseman and his work looks so familiar that I would have thought it was tim biskup and I like tim biskup (who's on display at the la luz de jesus gallery this month ) so I checked out more of gary's stuff on his site and I was shocked to see tim biskup's work. look at 'em go! I want it all!

web design for trade rocks!

so I just finished a website for jam bags for merce's friend's company (who used to be her business partner too). I was kinda hoping I could get a deal on one of the bags when merce said I would obviously get one for free YAY! of course I picked the duffle, not because it was the most expensive but because I'm gonna put digger in it! I picked olive with red trim and a red "d" - I can't friggen wait!

and last week mike and I joined a small gym right by where we work that just opened like 6 mos ago. we got a steal on the membership, it's brand new, no one there, I'm so happy to be working out again -- it's perfect. they also having tanning for $7 each or $50 a month (ouch!) but hey, they don't have a website! I talked to the owners and I'm gonna do their website for free tans! sweet!
