Note to future self: Don’t get haircut the week before important events take place.

This kind of thing has happened to be a few times now, so I thought I’d share the fun.
In one of our pieces of software we have a process that looks like this:
void MyThread()
{

Via Geekologie comes the hilarious tale of a man (boy, really) caught stealing NetFlix DVDs from a mailbox. The comments are funny, too. Some seem like they’re obviously written by the neighbor.
One issue I didn’t really see addressed in the comments on the post is the overall issue of mail safety. People need to consider [...]

It’s basically two Brits being witty about the week’s news. I’ve only listened to episode one so far, but found myself laughing too hard to concentrate [...]

My father-in-law is absolutely fed up with telemarketers calling. But rather than just hang up on them, why not try to get some money out of them? So he made a recording, to be played next time he gets a call:
Listen to this recording he made.
