An Excellent Review Quality Quote
Maybe I'm about to jinx myself by talking about it at all but I've talked about it offline as well as here. I'm set to have my first annual review with my company and am a mixture of nervous and excited. But today's quote is very appropriate for thinking about my future and the company's future.

Aim at the sun and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far higher than if you had aimed at an object on a level with yourself.- F. Hawes.

April Fool's Day is coming up and lots of people need a little more creativity in coming up with practical jokes. With that in mind I present this article, Livewire: Surfing for Practical Jokes which should help even the most inwardly focused of geeks find some way to satisfy their inner need to act like an 8 year old. Me? I'm going with an all whoopee cushion April Fool's. Nothing makes people smile in spite of themselves better than forceful expulsions (real or fake) of back side gas. Which reminds me, did anyone else see Chappelle's Show last night after South Park? His R. Kelly music videos were hilarious if a bit on the nasty side. One phrase that I took away from it? R. Kelly's Doo Doo Butter. Yeah, crude humor but after South Park's stem cell research and Christopher Reeve show, it was quite refined.

And yes, I still have the cartoon image of Christopher Reeve sucking stem cells from the neck of a fetus in my mind. South Park is about the most politically incorrect show possible right now. But its still pretty funny in a guilty kind of way.
