View From the Bushes

What a crazy day. Yesterday was the day when we republish most of the website at work, so I'm still trying to finish that off, and today we're switching printer companies from IKON to Xerox, and since I'm in charge of keeping a website updated on the progress of the switch, I have become the primary contact for everything having to do with the transition. As a result, my phone is ringing about every 15 minutes as the crews keep me updated on the progress. As many better men than I have remarked, it's difficult to focus when your phone's rining every fifteen minutes and there's some Xerox tech telling you that the printer is active and the IP is still 10.1.8.52.

Changing subjects, I've long been an fan of Urban Legends; mostly this comes in handy for debunking the latest e-mail that gets sent around, but that's not where the true enjoyment comes. My true enjoyment comes when I uncover an Urban Legend which is actually true. The subject of one of these true urban legends, George Bernard Dantzig, died this month. Of course, this also brings to mind the urban legend that I desperately wished were true.

Turning to yet another topic, I came across a Booth Babe Hall of Shame from E3. I know that at least some of my readership will enjoy that link.
