Moo! The Musings of a Plaid Cow

The Lunchtime Seminar for today was entitled “The Value of Planning”. The flyer for this learning opportunity read, in part, “The ability to plan a project or program early provides increased likelihood of success.”

The flyer was sent to us in email form. Today. An hour before the class started.

Perhaps they should have attended the class first.

From the last episode of Survivor: “When the audience speaks, so to speak, they are speaking…”

That guy is brilliant.

Due to Microsoft Entourage’s poor implementation of a script I wrote, I ended up with over 200 Categories named “Untitled”. Since the GUI will only let you delete one category at a time, I came up with an AppleScript solution:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
  set theCategories to every category

  repeat with theCat in theCategories
    if name of theCat is "Untitled" then delete theCat
  end repeat
end tell

The estimates for the disruption to the city of Boston during the Democratic National Convention have just been updated again: * A small road called the “Central Artery” can’t be all that important, and will be shut down at 4pm each evening, about an hour into rush hour and three hours before the convention is to start. * The train/subway station that services the city for all points north of the city isn’t really that important either and will also be closed for the duration of the time the convention is in town.

Many of the larger businesses (including those in Boston and with employees in Boston) are already looking at contingency plans for this week in July–including forcing employees to take vacation because they won’t be able to get to work. If these people are willing to do this to the biggest city in their candidates home state, how bad will he be willing to screw over the country for his personal reasons once (and if) he gets into office.

Remeber, this is a democratic country. Email Boston Mayor Tom Menino and tell him what you think.

If you think the demands on the city are unreasonable and that the Democratic National Convention in Boston should be canceled, send your message for them though him: Tell the DNC to FUCK OFF and go find another city to shut down for a week…Boston sure as hell doesn’t need it.

Some license plates are cute, like “WNEPOOH” (to go with TI2GR). )Or the one that says “THANKU”. “URWLCM”

Some just make me questions what they were thinking. Like “WLDTHNG” on a Volvo. Or “RATFINK”. Even if your nickname was “AMNDUH”, why would you put it on a license plate?

I am still waiting for the kinky sex with chocolate license plate “S&M&M” though.

According to a radio report, Princeton is going to start limiting the number of “A” grades that can be awarded per class–to 35%. The student body president is up in arms because apparently this would be a drop from the current 46%.

I’m guessing that statistics is not a requirement for any of these college students.
