I spend way too much time in conversations like these.

Responding to RFPs.

Very very funny :o)

“So, let s say I build houses and someone says.. Hey, wanna come and build me a house?

I say Damn Straight Brother what do you need?

They say Well, I really want blue walls how much will that cost?

I say Hmm.. well, I need to know more about the house you need how many floors, how big, will you need a basement? How many doors?

They say Well, you should know that s not important. What I really need is wood shingles. Now knowing what you know how much will the house cost? And don t try to screw me because I m going to hold you to it and I also have 50 other house builders bidding for the work

I say Um let s go with $250,000

They say Wow, that s a lot. Could you justify that based on my requirements?

I say Well, it s the blue paint that made all the difference… [Joel from Canada via SoulSoup]

I agree, I’ve just unsubscribed from the Register feed as well. Besides finding little worth reading there, I find a headline only feed to be pretty useless anyway

Harvard man loses 3,000 weblogs | The Register. Dave Winer popularized Netscape’s RDF syndication format, which has since splintered into nine incompatible formats.

This is just troll bait.

I’m unsubscribing to the register. The news there has gone tabloid. Obliviously they’re after traffic for ads. Wankers.

Thanks again to Jenny for finding something to brighten my day.

I may have to go buy myself a new laptop backpack. I’ve been thinking about it anyway and I’m always willing to support a subversive sense of humor. We need more wry thinkers regardless of their politics

Thank you Jenny. Today it’s hot and humid instead of raining, but the walk to lunch was a nice break. Also, thanks for the pointer to the Neat Net Tricks blog.

Another bit of fun from Dina. I’ve been engaged in this argument for almost as long as there have been personal computers, perhaps longer than that. In fact, I think I will follow this advice now and call it a night. There’s certainly no way I’m going to catch up with Scoble anyway.

Conversations !.

This is for all blog spouses – Judith sent me the link this morning – thanks J !

Do you find yourself in this situation ?

I do sometimes :):):).

And why shouldn’t he have one? This reminds me of the blog games a while back on seeing how far we could get a meme to propogate.

I think I’ve done this one before. My score tonight? 50.09862% – Super Geek.

I just did a quick search. I have done this test before with a slightly higher score of 53.25444%.

Are you a geek?. Ken always finds the good tests. He’s a a “Total Geek” with a score of 26.23274% (gotta love that precision). I, on the other hand, am a “Poser” with a score of 6.1144%. I’m not sure that’s a bad thing :)…. [IDblog]
