- In an effort to once again expand our vocabulary of jargon, another brilliant word, one which describes frustrations for many people:
heisenbug /hi:'zen-buhg/ n.
[from Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in quantum physics] A bug that disappears or alters its behavior when one attempts to probe or isolate it. For example, the squeak in the floor that makes its appearance at the most annoying times, but disappears when its source is investigated. Or, much to the frustration my colleague, a signal in a circuit that only behaves correctly when its value is directly watched, and otherwise wreacks indirect havoc on the system.

Hey, I think we might get a deal on the laser tag if we call ahead. So if you know, email away.

- Ahh... the sweet taste of pie in the morning. It's a picture like this that makes you feel truly patriotic:

Where else but here can our most beloved politicians truly feel the warmth of a satisfied electorate through introduction to a pie? Secret service? Bah! Who needs 'em? I especially love the look on the woman in the background.

Laser-tag will be at 3 on Sunday. I cant book it because I dont have an exact number. So if you want to go, email me as a warning. Its 7.5 per game or 17 for 3 games. I think StoneHouse is at 9-9:30 and Im not sure about any other details.

- From Top 10 Ways to Irritate Your [Webpage] Vistors:
4. The really professional irritator will not settle for just one obscure browser plug-in. Go for the gold. Use several bloated plug-ins that no one has already installed. This should drive away all newbies because they usually have no idea how to install even one plug-in, much less three. Experienced surfers will be glad to spend 20 minutes installing plug-ins to view your unique content.
5. When the visitor arrives at your site, be sure to pop up at least two ads behind their browser window and a minimum of two ads in front of their window. This will give them lots of options in where to go now that they have been sufficiently irritated to desire to leave right away. Even more important is the way you treat the occasional hard case that actually stays on your site after all of your efforts. When they leave, remind them to never return. Start popping up windows all over their monitor with windows that multiply every time they try to close them.

- Windows 95 Beer:
A lot of people have taste-tested it and claim it's
wonderful. The can looks a lot like Mac Beer's can, but tastes more like
Windows 3.1 Beer. It comes in 32-oz. cans, but when you look inside, the
cans only have 16 oz. of beer in them. Most people will probably keep
drinking Windows 3.1 Beer until their friends try Windows 95 Beer and say
they like it. The ingredients list, when you look at the small print, has
some of the same ingredients that come in DOS beer, even though the
manufacturer claims that this is an entirely new brew.

- In honour of the four-day weekend (for some of us) that was:
vacation, n.:
A two-week binge of rest and relaxation so intense that
it takes another 50 weeks of your restrained workaday
life-style to recuperate.
