Finally a use for NYC’s snow plows this year:
Giant’s Ticker Tape parade cleanup.
E-MAIL POLICY
The following is [Company’s Name]’s policy on the use of internal e-mail:
- all employees with e-mail should check their electronic mailbox (as well as their physical mailbox) at least once daily, preferable in the morning.
- the e-mail system is intended for reminders (i.e. just reminding you about making the phone call we discussed yesterday…) and the exchange of non-urgent information such as FYls (i.e. did you hear about the new cable Belden introduced…)
- it will also be used for interoffice memos regarding company-related topics such as meetings, procedures, social events, general information and other types of information that can wait 24 hours or more before being read. Generally speaking it will not be relied on for breaking project news except in a reminder or supplemental capacity.
- it is not meant to for requests for decisions or urgently needed information especially as they relate to project work (i.e. should I send a ream of paper with the printer being shipped tomorrow or hold them for…; please let me know if you’ve revised the document for the client as printing has begun…; etc.)
- requested information should only be sent via e-mail if specifically requested and even then you should verbally let the person know that you’ve sent them the information.
Still waiting for it to snow, but the powers that be don’t seem to want to let it do that.
We went up to the Catskills anyway, and skiied on some good ol’ man-made snow.
People are shooting off fireworks and screaming in the street outside right now. I guess they’re really excited about the season premiere of “The Voice.”

Musicians Gypsy Joe Trane (@gypsyjoetrane) playing the theme to Super Mario Brothers while traveling uptown on the R. I can’t believe that no one else was as amused as I was.
This was one of the most entertaining rides I’ve had on the R. I like subway performers and these guys had the best approach I’ve seen: just stand and jam for many stops. I don’t know if they made more or less money than those who do a quick set before hopping into another car, but I gave them a few bucks for the great accompaniment.
I like when the train got star power.
Hoboken denies film permit for ‘Jersey Shore’ spinoff starring JWoww and Snooki
The city of Hoboken has denied a filming request for a “Jersey Shore” spinoff series based in the city. In a letter posted to the city of Hoboken’s website, Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer wrote, “Based on protecting public safety and quality of life concerns for Hoboken residents, the city has denied a film permit for a spin-off of the Jersey Shore to be filmed in public locations.”
never been prouder to live there.
Send them back to NY!
A man swung toy light sabers at customers at a Toys R Us. He then carried the light sabers outside the store and swung at police. Officers tried to use a taser to subdue him, but the suspect successfully deflected one of the wires away.
Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy hit back at Fox News during a UK press conference following the London Premiere of their new film. Fox had publically criticized the film for supposedly pushing a ‘dangerous liberal agenda’ at kids.
Boo to you Pegasus Flight. I called to confirm my flight tomorrow (which was rescheduled because they canceled my last one) and they had no idea what I was talking about.
“The Office Spinoff” Starring Rainn Wilson In The Works For Midseason 2013 Launch
“Paul and Rainn have been joking for years about Dwight’s life on the farm, his family and how ill-suited he is to run a B&B,” a source close to The Office said. “A while ago, it started to feel like a show to them. NBC agreed, it’s been further developed to include multiple generations, many cousins and neighbors.
The setup for the spinoff, with Dwight moving to a new family environment is reminiscent of the Cheers spinoff Frasier, which also featured a switch from a workplace to family format, moving Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer) to a new locale.
Sounds more like Joey than Frasier. Also sounds like someone is desperate for new ideas… At least it won’t be another cheesy sitcom with a laugh track, though.
By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American.
Newt Gingrich
Finally Newt Gingrich proposes something I can get behind. I mean, the monolith isn’t just going to find itself up there on the moon.
Though not strictly an optical illusion, the Isihara Color Blindness test illustrates the variability of human perception. The numeral “82” here is clearly visible to viewers with normal color vision.
