Hey Kids,
Sitting at work trying not to eat the big bowl of chocolates I keep on my desk to entice people to come visit.
My company issued Crapberry sits on my desk slowing dieing of old age or incompetence (which means the same thing in the tech world). It's lifeblood of ones and zeros oozes from its data port and a fail light blinks red, perhaps electronic for help-help-i'm-a-useless-piece-of-crap-please-replace-me-with-newer-technology. Godspeed little piece of crap...godspeed.

Ipod playing as I watch traffic steadily grow thicker on the 134 below. Thank god I'm not one of those poor commuting slobs.

Don't get me wrong. I have plenty to do. I just have no interest in doing it.

Colleague sent me a link to her blog. In it I found something interesting...ahhh a project!

1. Go to Wikipedia
2. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year).
3. List some events that happened on your birthday.
4. List two important birthdays and one interesting death.
5. List any holidays
6. Post it.

Below is the post for April 2 (i left the links in...incase you were curious)
