 Hi. I love gadgets, the internet, food, marketing, the tech scene, psychology, startups and the list goes on and on. More About Me Contact Me |
Normally, my Mondays are less than entertaining. It usually consists of weekly planning and prioritizing, catching up on emails, wearing glasses (not contacts) and an afternoon cup of joe. However, today was different. As I was perusing my usual nerd blogs that I follow, I saw a post about how Rackspace’s servers went down. I didn’t really react because things like that happen once in a while, but this caught my eye:
Yep. That is what you think it is. Justin Timberlake made a sarcastic comment about Rackspace’s servers going down on TWITTER. It’s quite possibly one of the nerdiest things he’s done. It’s almost as though he’s actually a nerd? No, no, can’t be (but a girl can wish). Maybe I don’t give mainstream celebrities enough credit, but I’m surprised and impressed that Mister JT knew what a hosting company was. It just doesn’t seem like his thing, you know? Nonetheless, this whole incidence trivial incidence has made JT several notches cooler in my book. When Rackspace’s servers were back up and running, he followed up his last tweet with this:
I <3 JT!  Looks like someone forgot to flip the stencil before painting. This is why you should always double check before painting. =p
On an entirely tangential note, I love, love, love my Palm Pre. Sit tight until I post up my review of my favorite new gadget. I kid you not, this crack appeared out of nowhere. I hopped in my car this morning and immediately noticed the 11 inch crack running through my sight. *sigh* I was really hoping it was some kind of strange illusion, but it twas not. My first windshield crack ever. =(
I’m pretty sure that everyone and their mom has seen the Liberty diabetes commercials, but just in case you haven’t (because you’ve been living under a rock) you need to watch the following video to truly appreciate the next two I’ve posted. Now, watch these: This one is my favorite! I don’t know about youu, but these videos cracked a big smile on my face. Not only that, I was humming the tune all day. Hope it has the same effect on you. =) |

Not sure if it’s just me, but when I’m at the office with a fair bit of work to do, I’ll randomly zone out for a short while. Why? I don’t know, but my theory is so that I can take a mental break from juggling a million tasks at once. Or in other words, just clear my mind. How long does this zoning-out last? I would say anywhere from a couple of seconds to several minutes (or what seems like several minutes). During my moment, I’ll be totally fixated on something, usually an arbitrary spot on the wall, monitor, desk and completely drown out all sound, senses and awareness of what’s going on around me. I think, at least temporarily it allows me to escape the madness (good madness, of course). This is normal, right? I can’t be the only one that does this.
