I find it amusing that half the feature articles written in Windows-oriented computer magazines can be summed up with the line, “How to make Windows stop doing stupid shit and behave like a normal person would expect it to.”

Wonder why the vaunted Microsoft usability studies never pick up on these things.

ARGH!

Ever get something in your head that you must exorcise?

In a silly conversation in which Kristy smacked me around, I remembered the quote, “Fresno? Nobody goes to Fresno anymore!” But now I can’t find the source for the quote. It was a movie or song from the mid-80s, and I’ve found two references to people quoting it via Google, but no source document.

ARGH! Does anyone remember where that came from? Was it “Valley Girl” or what?


Update – it was from Airplane.

pointed out this wonderfully inane petition. Here’s one of my favorite quotes from one of the petitioners:

i pray every day that mr jackson will see the light and pull the plug on this project. Mr Tolkien if that is his indead his real name does not seem to be a very christian person to be so cynically cashing in on this tragedy.

Yeah, Tolkien is so cynical and taking advantage of a tragedy, 29 years after he died. He was a freakin’ psychic, apparently, who knew that his 1954 book would be made into a movie a year after two towers were destroyed in a terrorist bombing using technology that didn’t even exist when he wrote the book.

The majority of the folks who signed that petition in support have no grasp of English, much less of literature. Astounding how clueless folks can be.
