A couple of weeks ago, I went to the server room to find our network support guy, Gerhard, to talk about upgrading our SharePoint 2003 servers to MOSS 2007 and I found the following jury-rigged tissue dispenser. I guess it’s better than having a box on the desk covered with binders and cables that hides it. Those network geeks are so inventive….

Yesterday, I listened to episode #293 of This American Life, “A Little Bit of Knowledge”, they talked about mistaken beliefs that exist in childhood and somehow escape into adulthood. The first part show is really amusing. However, they of course didn’t interview Mrs. Wingnut, who even until we started living together, when she was in her thirties, believed that cobwebs were made by a creature called a “cob”. When I confronted her on this, and said that cobwebs were really spider webs she couldn’t believe it.

“Stop the war against…”, and then in a white square apparently pasted over something else, “whoever is next.”

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

Contrary to Joel Stein’s belief, in his commentary in todays Star-Tribune, that this year’s race was, “the lamest Tour de France ever.” Mrs. Wingnut and I thought that this actually was the most interesting of the three that we had watched. There was no clear leader until the last couple of stages, because it kept changing around in the leaders group, the route seemed to be more interesting than before, and we liked the Versus commentary team for the most part.
Phil Liggett seems to be getting a little dodgy, he can’t seem to identify the riders every time, but Bob Roll adds his little manic touches and all is well.
The weather seemed much more stable during the race this year, but there were still plenty of exciting accidents and upsets.
Don’t listen to Stein; the crackdown on doping is a good thing.

Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
