I was at the Staples in Issaquah with my family and we saw a rooster in the parking lot. Apparently it lives in a little house near the drive-up coffee stand there. No, that’s not my truck :)

So Microsoft has a new technology called SideShow. It is basically a platform that lets you display data on various devices besides the PC's screen. It looks pretty cool, but who comes up with these names? Did anyone do any research on the meaning behind the word sideshow? Does anyone else think it's funny that "sideshow" is basically a polite term for freakshow?

 I was reading a mailing list that I subscribe to when I came across a job posting. In the "Job Responsibilites" I found this gem:

If they find someone who can do that, they should pay that person millions of dollars!
