I found out where boss-across-the-hall got that Aquariass link. He’s subscribing to a new magazine: Sync, Stuff for a Man’s Life. Highlights from the current issue:

Meet the IT Gigolo!: “Ray Digerati” is a tech-support manwhore who went on Craiglist and offered to fix computers in return for sexual favors.

Sometimes I feel guilty about having a weblog. As hobbies go, it’s a pretty narcissistic one, and it takes time away from worthy endeavors like paying bills and cleaning the bathroom.
However, I am heartened by the fact that some people have even sillier ways to waste time. The January 2005 issue of Wired magazine […]

He cut our weekly Business Intelligence staff meeting short because he’s tired today. And why is he tired? Because it’s the most wonderful time of the year…

I like to give the guy a hard time, but boss-across-the-hall does have some excellent qualities, which is why he gets to be the boss. One of his strengths is customer service. No matter who you are or how pissed off you are, boss-across will do his best to help.
Right now he’s talking […]

Today’s free computer time is devoted to this new toy, a gift from my wonderful family. Yes, on the day that the entire blogosphere is having a techno-orgasm over the new iPod, I have become the proud owner of Creative’s Nomad MuVo2 (the 4 GB version). It has some interesting features; for example, […]
