What to Blog?

I know that nobody reads this blog, but recently, I've been agonising over what to post on my blog when I actually do.

Should I post

1) Funny stuff that my gf says? (there's alot of them, seriously)
2) My views on various current affairs?
3) Great links to porn!

I have not decided. Nevertheless, here's an excerpt of what my gf has mentioned to me over the past weeks:

Expansion of Drink Cans

Background: We were collecting drink cans to make into shakers (for sound effects) and somehow they got crushed due to a miscommunication in my house =D

She: Let's put them in hot water!
Me: Eh? How will that help?

[She had the concept that it would expand like ping pong balls that were crushed and tried to explain so]

I am user #927

I was reading up on Corporate Governance the other day and about the Enron scandal. In the wikipeda entry, it stated that AOL had some corporate governance debacle recently, so I googled it.

I came across AOL's interesting data blunder, in which thousands of search strings were released for public consumption. No personal data was purposefully revealed, however, some of the search data proved to be quite telling.

Each user was identified by a unique search ID, with their search history accompanying. It was actually pretty interesting (in a voyeuristic way) to see what people searched for, and what they actually clicked on. Of note was a guy (presumably, hopefully) by the userid of #927

His appetite for websites is extremely varied, and most would probably add sick. But on reflection, actually, I figured my own searches would prove to be rather unpalatable to some. >.<

Are you able to say that you don't search for weird stuff?

For those who are interested, here is a mirror of the Full Search Data. It's a huge text file, so try opening it with Excel. Doesn't seem to work any other way for me.

Random Musings

An interesting example of how one can put his foot in his mouth and then shoot it:

Michael: Okay, probably going to go late tonight, burning the midnight tequila. So, I think you all could just take off now.
Jan: Michael, this shouldn't take more than an hour.

J: Do you always shut down the entire office when you leave for an hour?

M: No, no. that would not be efficient.
[back-pedaling here]

M: Actually, they just don't get very much work done here when I'm not here.
[attempt to reason poor judgement]

M: That's not true, I know how to delegate.
[realising lack of leadership in previous sentence]

M: And they do more work when I'm not here.
[total incompetent managerial skills, or suggesting that he impedes productivity (which he does)]

M: Not more.
[more back-pedaling]

M: The same amount of work is done, whether I'm here or not.
[now we know his true value]
