Oh, and I held out as long as I could, but the seedy underworld of the interactive-odular modular cellular phone has sucked me in.

I would briefly like to gripe that when you feel jaded, frustrated and ultimately dejected about signing a contract to buy some item or service that is, ultimately, optional, that cannot say anything good about the process of buying that product.

But, hey, it's got a camera.

(Fear not; unless something worse than merely having the phone and its associated contract happens, that will be the last you will read of my whining about this.)

Ok, so I'm reading BoingBoing, and I stumble upon this story about ordering cakes with personalized messages online. According the link that BoingBoing directs you to, "the email likely feeds directly into their computer that runs the food-grade equivalent of an inkjet printer to place the message on the cake".

The story isn't really about the technology, but when things go awry; say when someone orders a cake with some accented Italian characters on it. Then the message printed on the cake goes error-message-nutty.

Why am I explaining all this? Well, let's just say the geboinked cake message contains some strikingly familiar words:

Royal Bank Puts Customers First

Access-for-cash idea faces probe

For those that caught Colbert's interview with O'Reilly this week, the reciprocal interview in the No Spin Zone.

And, for those that didn't, here's O'Reilly in the Colbert Nation.

And for those that don't care, uh, squirrels. (Don't ask me, I have no idea.)

Now, back into my anatomy book. The brachioradialis is connected to the red thing...

Al, I guess we'll have to agree that I don't understand your position in the trickling down hierarchy.

And congrats, Craig and April.

Wow everyone is getting married except me.

Anyways. Congratulations Craig and April!

Craig and April are now officially engaged. Crongrats to the both of them!!!

Hey Ed and Mary I hope you check this sometime this morning, but I won't be able to help out until about 2pm 'cause of work stuff. Sorry about that, but I'll be there later.

I would have loved to see this in Punked.

Because Par too many people saturate the market, and the market saturates too fast. Within a years time there was too many elecE for the system to handle. All those Ainlay guys went into EE or CompE and saturated the market. Right now they are finding it tough to get a job. (Either that or they are asking for too much. From what I have heard the case would be too much saturation.) If there was more stability I would say that a speed up will cause a higher demand. However the case is that certain branches of engineers; MecE, CompE, CivE, EE cause mass saturation. Companies can pretty much choose who they want, they know they will always have an ample supply. It also doesn't help that CET (engineers with out the professional designation) can do your job and for cheaper.
