My Insurance Company Is Going REALLY green!

Image
When I received a policy from my insurance company it was printed on both sides of 30 pages. With that in mind, I suppose, they also included information on how to "save trees" by signing up for an "ePolicy." So strong was their desire to "save trees" that they saw fit to reiterate it 17 times. (see below) Now, lets not get all TheConsumerist.com about this. They would surely use the headline "Chubb Hates Trees. Includes 17 pamphlets with its policies." They love to portray isolated incidents as company policies. I am sure some kid was told he could call it quits for the day once he used up the pamphlets. And Voila. Still, I thought it was amusing enough to share... I mean LOOK AT ALL THOSE TREES! :)

Banksy? Is That You?

Spotted this on Houston (NYC) this weekend. Looks like Banksy. But so big? I guess I will have answers soon enough.

Walk On The Pavements

Every so often the above gem shows up on the internet and all the little angst ridden, revolutionary wanna-bees line up in the comments to say “sooo true” and “more so now than ever” and I get irate every time. So this time it will be ME posting it and it will be ME who comments on it. You are welcome to comment as well, but I was first. This time. GO TO WORK While growing up discover something you enjoy doing and are good at and find someone who needs that something done and arrange for them to pay you to do it. SEND YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL If you choose to have kids seek out the best way to fill their minds with useful information so they might have a fighting chance in a world where knowledge is power. FOLLOW FASHION Wear clothes because other wise you will die of exposure. Wear the clothes you find comfortable. Wear the clothes you find help represent who you are. Wear the clothes that make your girlfriend grab your ass. And if your choices do not follow fashion... fashion will like...

Pluto Is Many Things To Many People, But It Aint No Planet

Image
Looks like the old debate has returned and astronomers are once again arguing over Pluto's planet status. I personally would like to see Pluto remain in its "NOT A PLANET" status. But for a somewhat unorthodox reason. I often use the fact that Pluto is no longer considered a planet as a way to point out one of the important differences between science and religion. It is a great example of new technology... providing new information... that causes the scientific communty to admit fault in it's existing information. No adherence to tradition, no injured pride, no accusations of heresy and no excommunication. You just inform the world that billions of books, posters, documentaries and science fair models are WRONG. And when the world replies "COME ON!" Science replies "TOUGH SH*T" this is science. And if you are thinking "Hey man Pluto should be a Planet, It always has been, its an accepted fact." Well then you have missed your call...

Crash Cab

Image
For some reason us geeks enjoy posting pictures of crashed computer screens "in the wild." Like THIS boot sequence in Time Square. So in the same spirit here is a "fatal application error" in a cab on Avenue A. If you must ask I guess the answer would be "because it's there."
