K-Squared Ramblings

Word, Fire, Borg and Spam

• RT @ThisIsTrue: AMAZING false-color NASA satellite pic of the damage caused by LA’s #StationFire. #
• Hah! Today’s flashback post is about the time I dreamed I auditioned for Borg: The Musical. (Sadly, I didn’t record any details.) #

Tech

• Odd: the Weather Channel #Android app is 3 times the size of Sherpa. What did they do, forget to compress the graphics? #
• Never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of disks on the freeway. Or a pigeon w/a datacard. #
• Realized while writing “Go to Help…” that it would be easy to make a very unfortunate typo. #
• WTF? MS Word 2007 *still* has no keyboard shortcut for Find Next…and it’s not listed in the Customize Keyboard dialog! #
• Aha! It’s called “RepeatFind” even though the button is “Find Next” and DOES have keys…Shift+F4 & Ctrl+Alt+Y??? Standard is F3 or Ctrl+G! #
• Saw a good typo on a tech forum: Windows XP “Service Park 2″ #

Spam Silliness

• RT @lol_spam: Spam subject: “I have Salvia! Join me ” – I misread this as “saliva”…and almost did a spit-take (really!) #
• I don’t want *more* spam, but a wider variety would be nice. The funny stuff is mostly sex, drugs & watches w/occasional acaí. #
