"Give a thing a name and it will somehow come to be."

I've been holding this post back.
Mainly because I know certain people read my site and might possibly interpret this post as talking to them. It's like a conspiracy theorist, though, the more I deny it, the more proof they seem to find that I am, in fact, doing it. So, rather than get caught up in it, I'll just say it.

Getting busted!

There are those that say Scott Adams has lost his edge.
But, for my money, he's still funny. And, for whatever reason, this particular strip really tickled my funny bone. (Dilbert Archive July 8, 2005) Ah, yes, the old "double-bind". If I say what I'm thinking, I get in trouble, but that's always what they claim they want to hear.
Yeah, I'd say Mr. Adams still has a handle on what's funny.
Have a great weekend!

Okay, here's a cool way to waste time at work (not that I've had time for that sort of thing myself):
Brilliant Button Maker Yep, it makes buttons, like these:

This is what I used to make the fancy, new button for subscribing to Diary of a Network Geek over at Bloglines that you see on the menu to the right. See? If you're a web designer, it's almost like actual work.... Almost.

I never trust Microsoft.
According to this news story, brought to us by BoingBoing, Microsoft has not only purchased a spyware company but defaulted their AntiSpyware program to Ignore said spyware. Can you guess who they used to be? Gator, the most notorious and prolific of the bottom-feeding spyware companies. (Actually, the company is Claria but they're known for their spyware product, Gator.)
Now you know why I didn't bother to install this.

Or, the interconnectedness of all blogs.

Man, I hate to admit this...

"... but what I do, that defines me."

Cool!
While looking for the context of a particular quote, I found Summer's Realm, which had lots of other quotes. I like funny and inspirational quotes, so I took some of the ones I liked best and added them into the "Advice from your Uncle Jim" data pile for the sheer joy of it. But, I would have felt bad if I didn't give the nice girl who collected them all together credit for doing so.
Now, I have and feel better.
