In case the world does end today, I'm watching the news, index finger hovering over the Enter key, to post the final-second "Last!" FTW! #2012

No need to worry about the end of the world. The Earth is a sphere.

I've done some things in my life just for the money that I'm not proud of, but at least I've never recorded a Christmas album.

Post-hurricane rationing is done in NY; no more lines for gas. Felt so luxurious filling up that Obama taxed my feelings.

The Obama administration has borrowed so much money from the Chinese that he should be called the Co-Mandarin Chief.

Grocery-store shelves half empty, no regular gas, no traffic lights or trains, TV and Internet down. On the bright side, no zombies! Yet.

Rarest goods right now in the NY/NJ area? Regular gasoline and D batteries.

Windows 8 is finally being released -- Tried it out, and I have to admit that I am very excited to keep using Windows 7

Truth is, nothing beats typing on a full-size keyboard, with a fast PC, a 24" monitor, and an interface your brain and fingers know -- if I want to actually get things done quickly and accurately (i.e., be productive). Sure, I could learn Windows 8 because the desktop is outdated and in 15 minutes everyone will be using tablets except me. But realistically, I'm not going to mess around with what Microsoft thinks are new paradigms and cool interfaces, and in the process become frustrated, way less productive, and be out X amount of cash for the new OS and limited apps. I think the choice isn't whether to move from Win7 to Win8 and/or a Win8 tablet, it's whether to stay with Win7 for now or, if I'm going to spend time and money to be part of the so-called future, move to the Mac, Linux, or ChromeOS. (Or maybe I wait for Microsoft to fix Win8.)
Co-worker just told me he's going to "the gym". But I know there is more than one gym in this world. I wonder where liar is really going?

Yankees could save a ton long-term by paying off A-Rod, hiring me for $1 mln a year or whatever, and then benching me instead each season.

I stole Tiny Tim's crutch and sold it on eBay -- but I felt bad afterwards, as I didn't get a good price. (Maybe cuz it's fictional?).

If you’ve got a birdhouse - you didn’t build that. Stanley Tools made that happen.

Always mixed feelings arriving at work: Pushing the elevator button for my floor is "depressing", but then ascending in the elevator is "uplifting".
