the oscom keynote fiasco makes me sad for all that it portends for everyone involved.

i’m a little surprised at the overwhelming 80% preference for e-mail over the phone for business communications. i know i usually prefer email and if synchronous communication is absolutely necessary then IM is the communication mode of choice. voice is overated:

“Findings also revealed that 74% of respondents believe being without e-mail would present more of a hardship than being without phone service. “

Male sweat relaxes women:

“Ladies! Looking for a way to relax? Then try sniffing a man’s underarm. New research shows that armpit sweat calms female volunteers.”

i still maintain the matrix reloaded sucked so bad it should be illegal, but the “the matrix reloaded explained” does a good job of explaining what they were trying to do. read the review and skip the movie.

business ignorance:

“But investors aren’t handing out rewards for collecting a lot of data. It’s just meaningless mountains of vacuous bits unless you’re getting some good use out of it; and if what I’m seeing is the norm, a lot of people aren’t.”

dumber.

i definately want a wireless-ready tree house.
