12:09 pm - How I spend my work hours..
Today I managed to spend some quality time working and writing docs on my laptop instead of going to meetings constantly. As usual, I didn't get much writing done. Instead, what this time actually consisted of.. )

My internet clicks:
-> google "buy monkey"
-> Cute Baby Monkeys 4 Sale
-> google news video about selling babies instead of monkeys
-> youtube related link guy scaring a monkey by sticking his tongue out
-> youtube related link stuffed monkey doing coke and sleeping with hookers

Since I kept forwarding links, Neil pointed out the obvious "youtube related videos entropy", which I realized applies to amazon and google as well. It seems like you start somewhere interesting and within a few clicks are deeply mired in crap. So, I think a new word is in order.

Poll #1089894 The surfing phenomenon...
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Definition: The steeply sloping downward trend in quality of results when following "related" links on the Internet. Ex: Youtube related links, Google adwords, Amazon more recommendations, whatever.

7:50 am - If you want to know, you'll have to ask.
This journal could be full of the most brilliant and witty commentary you will ever encounter, spiced up once in a while with artistic pics and dreamy vignettes...

or

...it could be quiz results, posted more than 7 times daily.

The only thing you can be sure of is that it's locked down and if you want access, you'll have to prove your worth.

Post a comment on this entry with an interesting question if you aren't already in the cool crowd, but you really wanna be.
