Rant of the Day:<\/b>
Tonight was the webinar from hell. 3.5 hours of insipid instruction that could have been better completed in 30 minutes of reading. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised – every class I’ve ever taken for non-technical certification has been similar. But they could have at least scheduled it for normal work hours and turned off the tattle-tale that flashes alerts to the instructor any time any one moves their mouse out of the webinar window. As if that is going to make someone stay awake. {*grin*}<\/p>\n

Rave of the Day:<\/b>
Google Voice<\/a>. It made it trivial to connect several phones to the webinar stream. Although I am certainly not a power user of Google Voice, I’d highly recommend that you get it.<\/p>\n

Odd Person of the Day:<\/b>
The cable TV repairman wondering down the alley while staring up at the wires as he walked. He was rather embarrassed when he walked right into the dumpster I was emptying garbage into. The expression on his face as he mumbled “uh high” and then headed back the other way up the alley was priceless. I recognized him, but didn’t want to embarrass him further by saying “Hi Dave”, so I just went back to the gate and into the house.<\/p>\n

Insane Moment of the Day:<\/b>
This morning in the midst of a very vivid dream. Especially since the dream featured a group of pygmies that had formed a company to market the world’s best rib sauce. And I was buried under a mass of pygmies who were all chanting<\/p>\n

Bar Be Que
Bar Be Que
We Eat You!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And then I woke up.<\/p>\n
