If a cow laughed, would she spew milk out of her nose?

I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use?  toothpicks?

 If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?

Isn’t making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?  

Well holy crikey…
A wicked awesome great friend of mine grabbed one of these new $5 bills for me and I thought I would test the part about not being able to photocopy it by trying to scan it. I used my newish Cannon CanoScan 8800F with the MP Navigator EX software both with and without [...]

This is about an Explorer that runs off of two hydraulic motors… I always wondered WHY we don’t have cars that run off of hydraulics after seeing tractors and other heavy machinery that run off of hydraulics and do amazing things. Admittedly I wouldn’t want hydraulics in my Mustang, I like the rumble of the [...]

This is a pretty cool idea…

Get your attention?
I hope so, I have been waiting a while to write this entry because I wanted to get in my head what I wanted to say because it is important, you could say it is almost a new personal mission I am on now.
If you stop reading this, stop reading after this very [...]

I ran into the following quoted article and clipped it off to share with my blog friends. I think it is a great article and aligns with a couple of the other quotes I have posted recently with the general flavor of your life is what you perceive it to be.
I know a lot [...]

“As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.”
   – Albert Einstein

So the evals for the presentations for DEC 2008 are now coming out. Dean pinged me about what we got because no one else has sent it to me yet… I guess that is what I get for having my name spelled in all lowercase and being the second name in the title “Legend of [...]

I don’t use it, don’t really intend to use it unless absolutely forced kicking and screaming to. Will not write a provider for AdFind nor AdMod nor any of my tools for it.

Well I decided I would be a responsible OID holder and registered the OID that Microsoft gave to me several years ago…
http://www.oid-info.com/get/1.2.840.113556.1.8000.1420
 
Note that Microsoft no longer gives out OIDs like that. All done. They decided they didn’t want to be in that business and there were data privacy issues. So now they have a script [...]

I had someone ping me about replacing the target address on a bunch of contacts in a given OU with adfind/admod. This is actually a great use of those utilities and why I added the cool -adcsv functionality in… This used to be something that you had to script, no choice, but not now…
So the [...]

I am not a huge fan of Mariah but the video is funny and I like the silver dress.
Oh I was asked about the reference at the end… 802.11N is a draft specification for wireless networking. Basically Mariah is asking if the geek guy (who is the guy from Third Rock and I think [...]

One of the top things I get “help me joda!” emails about is people trying to run my utilities and running into issues with strings with spaces and other special characters. These strings are handled in special ways by the command interpreter and when people think my programs are screwing up, it is actually just that [...]

And how to get around it in Photoshop…

The new US $5 bill…
Allegedly the small yellow circles are in a special pattern that will tell digital copy software not to copy the money… You will just get a black image.

With all the redesign work on the money, I wonder why we haven’t done like some other countries and made the money more usable [...]

Crap, this sat in my drafts for a few days… I need to stop using multiple PCs…

One of the books I am currently reading is Family First by Dr. Phil. I don’t have children but I think it is a good book anyway. I have lots of nieces and nephews and friends with kids and maybe at some point I will have one or more as well but I think it [...]
