How to be a douche

Step 1) Acquire a job as a "Social Media Guy" (yea, you read that right...and we wonder why our country has such a defecit)
Step 2)When said newspaper has a silly, fun blog on strange food and someone (keeping with the theme of "silly" and "fun") posts a comment you deem vulgar, report offender's joke to his/her job
Step 3)Post a follow-up blog telling everyone about your awesome work
Step 4) Get your ass chewed on by commenters who disagree
Step 5) Close commenting on the site to make sure you don't get more butt-hurt than you already are

Yes, Kurt Greenbaum, you're a douche. Congratulations on using the job of a "reporter" (quotes because I can't air-quote online) to sanction people's freedom of speech.

Thoughts from my desk

I'm starting to really dislike a lot of the people I work with. Ok, so I'm not really "starting" per se, but my dislike is growing at an alarming rate. And this isn't a tale of personality differences. I accept that there see people I'm not going to get along with. Rather, this is about people who can't act their age.

People are childish and ignorant. One person is only happy when someone is getting in trouble; another can only function when everyone knows how dysfunctional her life (both personal and professional) is; others gossip like they're still in high school.

I don't understand why everyone wants life to be miserable. Why do they have to act this way?

ACORN - Apparently Pimpin' IS Easy

Ok, let's forget about all the allegations of voter fraud. Let's move on to a new topic. Let's say you want to open a whorehouse - but you hate all the rules and regulations and taxes. What do you do?

I finally agree with Obama

Well, it was bound to happen...I finally agree with something the President said. To be fair it isn't about anything political, and I bet pretty much everyone feels the same way he does.

Odin Typing - Part 2

Sal's back. And this time he's brought us a video of how easy it is to type on the Storm 2 - in landscape mode.




And be sure to check out Sal's blog - http://thecoolguyreport.blogspot.com/

No Click?

Sal's up to it again! He's got a new video showing a new 9520 NOT clicking. It looks like you still have to press "harder" to select an item, but it doesn't have the same click as the 9500/9530. Wanna see for yourself?




And check out his ColorWare Tour in the background.

5 Reasons the Storm 2 is better than the Storm 1

It looks like our pal Salomondrin has a new video out. This one's about the Blackberry Storm 2/Odin/9550/9520 - and why it rocks the Storm 1's world.

Letter to Coworkers

Look, I don’t understand what is so hard to understand about “DO NOT TALK OVER THE CUBES”. It seems pretty clear cut. Maybe you don’t understand the issue, which is almost fair as it is multifaceted.



1) NO ONE CARES

2) No one wants to listen to what you have to say

3) You are both idiots that never say anything of any consequence

4) Neither of you have anything to offer to the world

5) One of you is a miserable hag and the other asks the STUPIDEST questions I’ve ever heard


So, in conclusion, please adhere to the rules and guidelines set forth by a variety of people in managerial (or similar) positions in this company, including your boss.



Thank you.

The iPhone Ad you'll never see

I found (read: this was posted) on the CrackBerry website.

Does this work from my new phone? Or do I have to set it up again?
