Rather Droll Ted Talk

Greetings, readers!

I recently encountered a rather droll talk. It is a satire of a satire, and includes a bit of pointed discussion about PowerPoint presentations.

It also includes interpretive dance.

Although the talk gets a bit political at the end, I thought it was well worth the time to watch; it was quite droll.

I wish you a good Tuesday.

This is how you make a Geek Dystopian Ad.

Ok, so I just saw the weirdest, terrifyingly hilariousest thing I’ve seen in quite a while. It’s an advertisement for a product called… “Soylent”. Starring an overly-helpful robot.

Here’s the ad.

And here are two reasons why this ad is so dang weird to me.

Happy Sunday!

Word updated annoyingly.

Hi.

So, I recently switched to Office 360 or whatever it’s called. The one that comes with updates.

And there must have been an update recently. Because Word is now flagging me when I’m not being (according to it) 100% efficient in my wording. As in, it’s highlighting pretty much every stinkin’ adverb and adjective. Given that my current writing thing I’m using word for absolutely requires the specifications, this is driving me crazy.

It also looks like the modifications to what Word looks for may only apply to the single document. I’m not sure.

On the bright side, at least it is able to be fixed.

So, yeah. Microsoft. Irritating, but certainly wouldn’t want to go without.

Anyway. Have a lovely Saturday!

Too Much to do + “Spring Forward” = BAAADDD!

Hi.

So, Spring Forward. Gah. Not a fan.

Not the least of which, is because I’m usually hyper busy around this time anyway. So the “too much to do” combined with “challenges getting to bed anyway” AND “Bedtime now an hour earlier body-clock time”? Yeah. Bedtime kinda gets… eliminated.

(As you can probably tell by the coherence of the post.)

I’m sure there’s a reasonable reason for it. I just don’t want to know.

So, yep. Have a lovely Wednesday.

“Broody” may have committed an unforgivable crime

Hi!

So, some of you may remember that Fluffy at one point recommended following the twitter account “run” by the “Brooding YA Hero” from all your favorite Young Adult Fiction Reads.

Well, Broody (that’s his name) just committed a potentially unforgivable crime. He is taking credit for the hour less sleep all of us got.

So, yeah. Blame Broody.

Other than that, have a lovely Sunday.
