Word of the day
A business analyst/project manager friend of mine recently introduced me to the term “solutioning”—shudder—which supposedly means coming up with the general shape of an answer to a problem without specifying any of its details, and which is apparently useful enough to require an entire department to do it. This one must be its big and more noncommittal brother. Yeesh. (Hat tip: Matt)
Simply delightful.
Kevin Spacey does impressions. My favorite is the Walken. Also check out this completely random but dead-on impression: Matt Damon as Matthew McConaughey (whew! That was a spelling challenge). Ha! (via)
Made. My. Day.
We don’t mess around.
A thousand words
That’s one way to do it. (hat tip)
In other news, the headline of the day is: “Adobe, You Brought An Advertisement To A Gun Fight.” Ha!
Headline of the day:
“Moore’s Law is not dead. It’s merely pining for the fjords.”
(The actual article is interesting too, but the headline is what makes it.)
Keeping the beaches shipwreck-free
So I just got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and I thought, as I often do, that I need to do something about this. See, I have a routine when I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night:
I’ll shuffle over to my bathroom, which coming from my bedroom is just before the corner I round to get into the kitchen. Then what I’ll do is, standing just outside the bathroom, I’ll lean forward, turn my head away, squinch my eyes shut, then grope for the kitchen light switch to turn it on. Then, still looking away, I’ll back up quickly and go into the bathroom, using the light shrapnel from the kitchen to see by so that I don’t fall into the bathtub and crack my head open, because my bathroom is pitch black.
After I’m done, I do the whole squinch-eyed groping-for-the-light-switch routine in reverse, and all because I don’t want to blind myself. Clearly, I am in need of a night light. Equally clearly, it has to be a blue canary night light. Lite.
But tragically, there is no such thing. And I can’t understand why. Google searches for “blue canary night light,” “blue canary nite lite,” and “blue canary night lite” all turn up song lyrics and forum posts from frustrated souls like me bemoaning the lack of a purchasable blue canary night lite. I mean, wtf? If I can get a leg lamp, why can’t I get a blue canary night lite? God.
Entertainingly, however, every one of the sponsored links on a search for “blue canary” is night-light-related. But this situation still sucks.
Best. Error message. Ever.

Oh, and speaking of Conan, check this out. Heh.
I seriously thought I would get a hernia
from laughing so much. First: ta-dah! What amazes me is that they found a guy with a falsetto that could handle that song. Second, there’s this gem, whose vocals are competent though not nearly as good as the first one, but which made me nearly lose control of my bladder. HA.
