Attention Shoplifters; This Will Not Work

As this article tells, switching barcodes on things will not work.

At first, it seems like it's a smart idea right off.

But then you realize the guy switched it out for a water bottle UPC. I mean, come on. A plasma TV for less than 5 bucks?

Just Order Water at Restaurants

As this article points out, it's cool and smart to just order water at restaurants.

I want it to go down on the record that I've been drinking water at restaurants for quite some time now.

I find that soda is just not worth the feeling that your teeth are unclean. Also, cold water is a lot more refreshing than soda could ever be.

Add to that that water is a lot healthier for you, and you've got it made.

So, just remember, just water.

Facebook; Massive Servers Powering It

So we've all been exposed to the wonder that is Facebook.

But who thinks about what powers Facebook? It takes a whole lot of computer to keep it running, this article says.

Man, it always impresses me to think about the sheer scale of things. Heck, even a terabyte impresses upon me. No matter how hard I've tried or how much stuff I've made, I still don't think I've ever used up a terabyte of data.

Maybe if you took just the originals of my comedy show, but still, even then, not nearly as much as you'd expect it.

But just think, someday they'll unveil the next one higher for sale. And that will be one heck of a day.

So thank you Facebook, with all your servers humming and purring. Thank you for the time on Facebook and for my awe of your scale.
