Wednesday, August 08, 2007
A non-technical post for a change of pace even though we aren't supposed to blog about this sort of thing, Jon our editor wields his editorial power with an iron fist (albeit while holding a donut), but there is something about the Simpsons that appeals to technical folks everywhere.
One of my favorite episodes (and hey Jon this is computer related at least!) is when Homer puts on a few pounds to be obese so he can stop going to work because he's disabled. They install a computer at his home which of course he knows nothing about, the best moment from the episode being:
Homer (reading from PC screen): "To start press any key"; where's the any key? Is see esk (ESC), keturl (CTRL) and pigup (PgUp) but there doesn't seem to be any any key... Phew, all this computer hacking is making me thirsty, I think I'll order a tab. *presses TAB key, whilst holding up cup to CD Drive... Computer springs to life*
Anyways, in conjunction with the movie there is a site at www.simpsonizeme.com where you can upload a photograph of yourself and they send you back an e-mail with a simpsonized version of you. Here is my inner Simpson, quite the dapper fellow I must say.
Jon, can I use this as my dev2dev blog photo? <g>
