I spend WAY too much time online reading blogs,news,etc. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. This guy found company URLs that when read the right way probably aren’t exactly what that company had in mind when they purchased them. Enjoy!
I don’t get it.
I went to the mall today to run an errand and grab some lunch. While I was there,I saw two high school kids walking around.
One had headphones on and the other had a cell phone glued to his ear.
Why did they even go together?
I don’t get it. I guess I’m old.
It’s been well over 90 here today and after spending 10 hours in front of a computer during the day it’s just too hot to do it now. I am wondering one thing however…
I saw a realty sign today that had this name on it: Spaminato. If that was really your last name,how could anyone ever receive email from you sent using your real name?
A few thoughts:
This is a real web site for a real product from a real company. Talk about balls…literally.
Here it is,The Student Loan Corporation/Citigroup/Smith Barney shirt for the 2006 JP Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge:
If the writing here seems spotty or few and far between lately,it’s likely due to scope creep. Also known as ‘Give an inch,take a mile’ or ‘Why can’t I say no?’
For those of you that aren’t familiar with the term,scope creep is those little extras that seem to sneak into projects (of any size) that manage to make them one or two or more sizes larger than originally intended. I’m sure it has a much more technical definition,but I think that breaks it down just fine for my purposes.
I’ve been working seven days a week lately on a number of projects. As usual,there is work work (what I consider my full time job) and within that there are “volunteer” projects. When I say volunteer,I mean a combination of being a true volunteer and a conscript.
I was asked to put together a registration web site for Take Your Kids to Work Day which somehow. Originally it was supposed to record whether employees were bringing their children or not and how many. Somehow that’s mushroomed into allowing employees to register each of their children for different sessions,closing these sessions when maximum occupancy is reached,and since some sessions are different lengths,disallowing employees from registering children in overlapping sessions. It will also dump registrants into an Excel sheet so that administrators can print out agendas for each employee’s children.
The Corporate Challenge logo is also running into multiple iterations because the different groups represented all want their names to appear first. Hopefully all the time I’ve spent on that will be coming to an end soon and a consesus will be reached.
I’ve also had a bunch of freelance work lately (which is a situation I hope I never complain about) and I’m getting ready for a much needed vacation.
Stay tuned over the next two weeks for those announcements. One will be the unveiling of the Corporate Challenge logo and the other will be a new web site.
Check back for at least two major announcements coming with the next few days. Details need to be finalized but I have some great news coming! Stay tuned…
I’m please to announce a new addition to both the client list and the extended family: Jack Van Epps.
