Shawn’s Thoughts

Whirling dirveshes of a random mind

Look before you leap

A friend called from their garage.  They said they couldn’t take another turkey dinner, and wanted to end it all by carbon monoxide poisoning – sitting in their car in the garage, with the engine running.  I had to remind said friend they owned a Prius, and would probably die from old age, or boredom [...]

Limited Edition TPS Reports - Office Space Special Edition coming Nov 1

Oh yeah.  If you appreciate the term “assclown”, you’re going to love this.  Mark Nov 1 on the calendar, and grab your red Swingerline stapler.  I just love this movie…  Chris created an app for me long ago that produced TPS reports – how cool is that?

Napoleon Dynamite at the PDC - Sweet!

It’s a bootleg copy.  It’s shot from the audience.  …and it’s probably the best version those of us who didn’t go to the PDC will get to see…B-)

Great Rant

Any page that starts with, “Blog: The word “blog” is literally shorthand for “boring;” a vulgar, overused word that strikes your ear with the dull thud of a cudgel to the soft spot of a child.” must be read…B-)

Dave Chappelle - Great Father’s Day Gift!

My totally-cool wife came up with such a cool Father’s Gift this year – the first two seasons of the Dave Chappelle show.  I can’t remember laughing so hard over some of the most creative humor I’ve seen in a long time.  Of course, the majority of the skits are horribly offensive, off-color, and obscene, [...]

Win the popularity contest

So, Winer has proclaimed himself more popular than Jesus.  I immediately thought of the advice my father used to give me, “It’s better to be quiet and let people think you’re a fool, then to open your mouth and prove it.”
While most folks did the prudent thing, and completely ignored Winer’s comments, Steve barely spanked [...]

I call dibs on Clear

There aren’t any clear “awareness bands“. Every other color exists. My dad died of Leukemia, and I’ve been through 8-10 livestrong bracelets raising awareness of the fight against leukemia, so I know yellow is definitely taken.

Since the idea of a simple yellow bracelet came out, just about everyone and their grandmother has called [...]

Three questions to ask before bed

Three other questions to ask before bed:
What was your name again?
Where are my keys - it’s time for me to go home
What was in that drink?

I came across a great post today on Water Reflection offering three questions that Tony Robbins suggests asking before you go to bed each day.
What have I learned today?
What have [...]
