Well it’s official, I’m a proud member of the 2008 RAM Mug Club!  This means I get my name up on the wall at the RAM in the U-District as well as the exclusive Mug Club mug (i.e. half off beer) at any RAM!

An old friend sent me this today…  They’re pretty old, but I just laughed too hard and thought I’d share:

So I had this blury looking dead pixel on my laptop LCD and I tried the “massage” technique without any success.  I thought it was weird because it was blury, and usually dead pixels are very sharp and exactly one pixel.  Anyways, I decided to try slapping my screen from behind and boom, the “dead pixel” moved down about an 1/16th of an inch.  Well, I kept tapping the back of the screen until the spot went out of site.  I guess some dust got behind the screen or between the LCD and the back light causing the dark spot.  Weird, huh?

So I’m super excited about this new service Google is offering.  Although it’s still a little buggy (long delays before notifications, sometimes no SMS notification), I can see this being a great thing… and even for some small offices!They’ve really done a great thing with this one by including the ability to share calendars, import existing calendars, send event invites via email (with in-line RSVP) as well as the searching capibilities you’d expect.  The AJAX approach gives it a really smooth feeling that you almost don’t notice you’re using a web application.  Give it a try for yourself:  http://www.google.com/calendar/
