The Tale of the Four Letter Word, or is it a Three Letter Word?

VP Joe Biden washing his Trans AM

Let's play count the letters with two prominent American politicians.  In one corner, we have former US Senator from the Delaware delegation and now Vice President, Joe Biden giving the audience a lesson on how many letters the word "jobs" contains:

"Take your fucking tampon out . . ."

In the other corner, we have former Democrat House member of the Illinois delegation, former Chief of Staff for the Obama Administration and current candidate for Mayor of Chicago, who has a thing about wanting tampons removed before people address him.  The topic is the number of letters in the word "jobs":

Conclusion: Democrat Jews count better than Democrat Gentiles.

Apple Granted Patent on iGlasses

By Ryan Tate, 2:44 PM on Tue Sep 29 2009, 2,898 views

Apple today received a patent on a head-mounted laser video display. Now that the three-year old application has finally been approved, Steve Jobs can put these babies through his grueling design process and hopefully pretty them up a bit.

Apple's innovation over previous head mounted displays is, in part, to separate the laser engine from the headgear, stowing the engine in a separate unit connected to the frames via fiber optic cable. Such an "iGlasses" setup, as our tipster calls it, would allow a more immersive television, gaming or conferencing experience when using, say, an iPhone. Or you could just walk around pretending to be a commando from the future, with frickin' laser breams attached to your head.

It's not clear whether Jobs will ever turn this officially-designated innovation into a product; his company boasts an impressive cash hoard with which it funds more research than it can use. Many of the patents from Apple's seemingly endless stream are never heard from again. The obsessive CEO remains, by all accounts, infatuated with his forthcoming tablet product at the moment, so we're not counting on being able to buy iGlasses anytime soon. But simply by putting the patent into the trophy case, Apple adds a little something to its mystique among its growing base of fans, the press included.

The first page of the patent is below, along with one drawing; we've archived the full filing here. AppleInsider summarized the application back in April.

Look how brilliant I am!

Where is that sarcasm tag?

So, I have put off getting my corporate resume updated in the system to what is nearing the last moment.  Of course, right now would be a perfect time to do it, since I am sitting here in the living room with most of the stuff that I own while the painters are in the bedroom, with a little of the stuff that I own.

Guess what else is in the bedroom, in my suit pants from yesterday, laying on the bed (covered in plastic)?  My RSA security key for the secure portal that I need to go through to update my resume and emergency information!

Of course, this is my own place and I could go in there, rip through the plastic and get the key.  That will not get the painters out of here any quicker.

The proper way would have been to get the thing done weeks ago.  Would have been a better distraction from being all down in the dumps about the major disasters that have cropped up this year and last.

Productivity is my new word for today!  Right after I go to Starbucks for another mocha ;)

Cool Jobs at Facebook!

The ever adorable Timothy of Slashdot fame hips us to this:

"How'd you like a job where you get fired if you DON'T view porn at
work?
Newsweek reports on Facebook's
internal police force of
150 staffers who are charged with regulating users'
decorum, hunting
spammers and working with actual law-enforcement agencies to
help solve
crimes. Part hall monitors, part vice cops, the $50,000-a-year 'porn
cops'
also keep Facebook safe for corporate advertisers."

Sure, it is a nice fantasy for a moment until you look at the salary! The fantasy continues to deteriorate when you think about what some people think is appealing and you don't.

I wonder if the Electrical Worker's union can hook these guys with cardcheck?
