So THAT’S what makes a hotel room a “suite”!

Posted by me on Saturday October 17, 2009

My friend Chad was discussing his “less than stellar” hotel suite the other night.  It turned out that what the hotel felt made it a “suite” as opposed to a “room” was this:

It’s like a little tiny wall between the bed and a sofa!

It’s going to take a whole SEASON to install this???

I don’t know how many people here read the webcomic xkcd, but you should.  It is quite witty, and often has some good techno-jokes for those of us in the know.  A recent one, for example, poked fun at how the Windows copy dialog will swing wildly between estimates for how long it will take to copy some files; certainly we have all seen this:

xkcd - A Webcomic - Estimation - Mozilla Firefox

After laughing at this with a friend, she ended up seeing the following from an install of some software (the package is blocked out to protect the guilty):

128070 minutes?  That’s three months for those who like long division :)

It’s a…..  SCOOTER GANG!  Don’t let the appearance fool you; these guys are probably packin’ heat.  Along with that space-saver doughnut tire.

Mobile make up mirror…

So do you think some women might use this to do a little touch up on the make-up?  I just used to see how cool my car looks :)

Don’t leave a techo-geek alone with expensive medical equipment.

Posted by me on Friday June 5, 2009

So I went to the eye doctor yesterday for an exam and he had to dilate my eyes so he could look inside them or something silly like that.  I had a book with me as I knew I would spend some time waiting, so after he put the drops in I started reading.  He told me to enjoy reading because in a few minutes I wouldn’t be able to once the drops took effect.

That’s what HE thought; it took me a couple minutes to figure it out, but I was able to read just fine.  The doctor cracked up when he walked in!
