TJ's $1.29 daffodils are easily one of the three best things about spring.

I was once on an early-morning conference call. At the time, my boss INSISTED that everyone not just dial in but also use web cams, as well (the territory was kinda far-flung and webcams had just recently become A Thing Professionals Use). When the call was done a sub-group of us stayed on for a separate call. One dude hung up but forgot to shut off his camera and started getting undressed so he could shower & head out. Unfortunately my boss figured out how to remotely kill his stream before we'd even gotten to PG-13 territory.

I'm really perplexed by Loud Talkers. Do these people have no sense of their relative volume? It's particularly jarring in very public places, like a crowded subway car where everybody can hear half the conversation. They must also not care if everyone listens in? I just don't get it.

Nonono, go ahead and send it in Word, like the applicant I had a few years ago who left Track Changes on so I could see a list of all the other jobs she was applying to over in the margin. That way I don't have to guess whether or not you pay attention to details.

Out of curiosity...how do you spot a salvaged car? Are you generally safer buying from a dealer than, say, an individual or a Carmax?

Don't feel bad. I was five comments in before I realized we weren't talking about some kind of new smartphone. <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/09/9-10-09motorblur2.jpg">

No-one can claim that Obama and the Democrats aren't negotiating Oh, they will. They will. And at least 40% of Americans will believe them.

Jack Burkman, Republican "strategist" discussing furloughs on the local news just now: "If there's one demographic that doesn't deserve sympathy, it's federal workers, with their lux-uuuur-ious pensions and benefits!" Seriously, fuck all these people with a rusty red hot poker.

Do it, if only to see whether you can work the term Gaymanistan into a paper.
