The Happy Moron http://thehappymoron.com/blog When being stupid is smart Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:55:58 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I’m not dead I just lack the motivation and the time to post. So here's a link - a fascinating article for those who like to think about the quirks and foibles of humanity. http://thehappymoron.com/blog/2010/03/08/im-not-dead/ Character Fabio Capello is a man who knows what he's talking about. Current manager of England's national football team, he's won titles with Real Madrid, Juventus, Roma and Milan - and the Champions League to boot. When England wanted the man to fix their woes... they called Fabio Capello. So far, he's delivered the ... http://thehappymoron.com/blog/2010/03/03/character/ Now we can play, too I got my first email from an MLA the other day. I didn't recognize it in the inbox, but when I clicked on it I saw that it was a form response to a petition that I had supported. I say 'supported' because, well... I never actually signed anything. The whole thing ... http://thehappymoron.com/blog/2010/02/24/now-we-can-play-too/ Errorgance The only thing more painful than a jerk is an incompetent jerk. http://thehappymoron.com/blog/2010/02/23/errorgance/ Musings on Sport Right now the Olympics are going on, and if I have to say one thing about the Olympics, it is that they are old. We've been mucking with sport for a long time. What I don't get is, "Why?" I think there's probably a couple posts worth on this topic, but ... http://thehappymoron.com/blog/2010/02/22/musings-on-sport/ Complaining about broken software This is an angry post. Recently Facebook "updated" its interface. I noticed no great improvement, but the bugs really riled me. Try to write a comment... doesn't work. Okay then. When I logged in to my yahoo mail, there was a little box asking me, "What are you doing right now?" Do you ... http://thehappymoron.com/blog/2010/02/19/complaining-about-broken-software/ It was only a matter of time ...before someone did this: Please rob me searches twitter for tweets that indicate someone is not at home. It's made the news; a lot of the news. You've probably already read about it before you read this post. My first thought is, "Darn, I should have done this." Hopefully it raises public ... http://thehappymoron.com/blog/2010/02/18/it-was-only-a-matter-of-time/ This is a post I feel bad that there aren't very many new posts, so... Here everyone is! I'm almost finished my Time Management analysis, so I think I'll do a final wrap up (while leaving things open to possible future musings). Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent, so that means I should finish ... http://thehappymoron.com/blog/2010/02/16/this-is-a-post/ WOTD – Portentious A dump from my cubicle's white-plank. Portentious comes from - 'portend'. 'por' - a variation on the prefix 'pro', meaning 'go forward'. Think 'protrude, protract' vs 'extrude, retract,extract' 'tend' - from 'tendere', meaning to stretch or reach. Think 'extend'. Therefore - Portentious - forward stretching, or foretelling. Reaching beyond the present. Completely unrelated to: 'important' Once you dig ... http://thehappymoron.com/blog/2010/02/10/wotd-portentious/ Timey Time Time Wherefore art thou, Time? A little classic literature today. Aren't we all looking out the balcony longing for a little more time? But Romeo and Juliet is just so... sappy idealized. I like the practicality of Mr. Micawber. "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty ... http://thehappymoron.com/blog/2010/02/09/timey-time-time/
