New Yorker Phone Etiquette
Strange phone calls keep coming to my hotel room. One caller claimed to be the FBI; another insisted that if this were a Marriott I'd answer the phone differently. There isn't a lot of trust going on here.

Let's go Fly a Kite
A stranger called insisting I was a kite-flying expert who owned a film company, courtesy of a referral from someone I'd never met. Years later it finally occurred to me to track him down. Turns out it was a Kurtis, with a K.
Michael Jackson...
...he touched us all.
MadWorld
I just mailed a copy of MadWorld to a friend whose Wii experience so far runs to tennis and bowling. He won't know until Tuesday. I'm expecting a phone call, probably from his wife.
Disturbing
Easily the most disturbing logo I have ever seen: SQLFairy. He has nice calf definition though. I'll give him that.

I didn't know I was looking for the perfect quote about Crocs until I found it: "When I see someone wearing Crocs, I immediately know we have nothing in common." It conveys my thoughts exactly.
Grocery Store

Blood
The NY blood people called for another donation, so I went in. After a recent high-altitude trip I expected an interesting red blood cell count, not to be turned away: my blood pressure, normally 120/60, read 102/40. Healthy as a horse, they said, but no.
