Seen on a blog discussion thread today…

He’s been trying for ages to clean up his name since he’s matured since then and is not a homophone anymore.

The context? The commenter was talking about a pal of his that used to post some pretty nasty gay-bashing stuff to Usenet way back in the day.

Unfortunately for the commenter, the b and n keys are next to each other.

The retort?

So, what, he’s spelled differently now?

Thank you,thank you. I’ll be here all week.

Ok, so it’s not the funniest thing you’ve read this week, but come on, it’s Friday, laugh. No really, laugh.

Ever found yourself wondering, “Hey, I wonder what products people bought most from Amazon…”? Now you can have all the answers, at least for 2006.

Warning: The linked site appears to be Amazon, but it is an Investor’s Relations service that Amazon outsources PR to. While probably safe, I wouldn’t try to login to Amazon from there if I were in your shoes.

2007 will be a wild and crazy year. We’re on the verge of some cool things, which should show up in 2007.

1. A Wireless iPod will ship

Will it be Bluetooth 2.0+EDR with A2DP headphones? Will it be a wifi-equipped iPod? Whatever it is, we’ll see it over the next 12 months. And for the record, the much rumored iPod+Phone won’t count toward this one, at least for my score..

Let’s jump into the wayback machine to this time last year.. I made 10 predictions for 2006. Let’s see how I did. Last year, I hit 65% correct. Hopefully, I’m improving.

1. Tiered pricing on the iTunes Store – Didn’t happen. And the way things look now, don’t expect to see it happen. I missed this one.

2. HD DVRs will drop to more affordable prices. – I’m torn here. The TiVo Series 3 not withstanding, lots of HD DVRs are now within reach of average folks.. I’m claiming this one.

Words cannot do this prank justice.

So I’m taking a little break from Christmas shopping in the Borders cafe. Just overheard someone ask what kinds of coffee was available.

The answer? “We’ve got a regular and a decaf.”

I was inspired by Dave.

These guys are just scary. If you haven’t heard about it, go read it for yourself.

How can you get to be an adult and not understand the difference between 0.002 cents and 0.002 dollars?

Don’t get me wrong, not everyone at VZW is like this. The guys I know over there (*not* customer service call center guys!) are good guys and are pretty smart to boot. Maybe they should give basic math lessons to their co-workers.
