• REALLY Random.

   

  Here is Himself's current fav ICanHasCheezburger:

   

  

  
  Too bad he can't remember the lyrics when recounting this gem to the unsuspecting...who end up nodding uncomprehendingly and backing away from him as fast as possible.

   

   

  Google Reader FAIL.

  Keeping up with GR has became a chore. Maybe one overdid one's blog subscriptions just a tad but being such a well-rounded individual (she says modestly) meant it was almost mandatory that a plethora of topics be covered. Like food (line cook. COMPLETELY ROCKS), Project Runway, Top Chef, your Xangas and...oh yeah, career-related shtuff like Occam's Razor by Avinash Kaushik and Seth's Blog. After telling myself I wasn't "allowed" to GR until I actually finished a project—the problem being I was READING rather than DOING—the issue was resolved in a rather catastrophic way: after selecting All items, hit the "Mark all as read" button and whalla! No mo slave to the GR master! Free at last...free at last!

   

  Before closing the app, finally got to the Happy Holidays entry from the GR team. What appeared in the very first paragraph of said message? "(don't forget you can hide unread counts!)" Further: "We've heard you loud and clear. For some of you (and some of us on the Reader team), unread counts are a source of anxiety (my red) and can feel more like a to-do list than the random awesomeness of the Internet. So to help you sleep better at night, we've added the ability to turn off unread counts for each section of navigation independently."

   

  Gee. Ya think?

   

  Soooooooo...after waxing 100s of unreads, I finally arrive at the message which basically says I just nuked myself. And without an Undo button.

   

  <sigh>

   

   

  Okay, greel08...You Asked For It!

  Here's the latest money shot of Sammy Samperson:

   

  

   

  And here are more that didn't make the final cut (but still show off his ultimate cuteness):
