I've been meaning to post this.
I was in the supermarket the other day and I found that Old Spice is making a deoderant for SQL Server people.

White messy stick or other?

Not too surprising, on the Denali deodorant.

"Denali" is the Athabaskan name for Mt McKinley in Alaska, and means "The High One". (Which could be taken all kinds of amusing ways.)

MS likes using place names for pre-sale products.

Sure, I just thought it was a funny juxtaposition.

Droid Incredible 2, love it, use it for school too. And Stefan, interesting that because of that I'm "mostly [a] woman", I mean I had my suspicions, but had no idea it was so obvious...

And I'm with Gus on ebooks, I always hated people taking notes and bending the pages in my books, now they just plain can't! Plus I have the option of blowing the text up so I can read it without my glasses on, which is awesome.

I was contrasting my personal experience with the stereotypes in the cartoon. However, if I've helped you make a personal discovery then that's great! 😛

It is also the name of the National Park that surrounds Mt McKinley. Awesome place!!! Lived in Alaska (outside of Anchorage) for a year and could see McKinley regularly.

I was in a meeting today where we were talking about bug tracking, and I just have to share. Here is how it went:
Boss (to group): Have you guys been putting your bugs in Visual Studio?
Me: Yeah - that's where they usually put their bugs.
Ok, so he was referencing Work Items in Team Explorer, but that wasn't what he said, and it was way too good to let pass. 😛
Thanks,
Chad

That is in fact the injection point of ALL bugs into the system. 😉
