Not entirely work safe satire from The Onion

After losing his job at Microsoft, the World’s most famous paperclip turns to fighting crime. He also gets some (unsophisticated) game.
See it on the YouTube Video (probably work safe – roughly PG rating).
Clippy as hero, almost as unlikely as a heroic nerd.
Before reading my comments take a look at this video. It is about seven minutes long, but you will probably not be able to take it all (although some women may enjoy the – work and family safe – beefcake). So when the pain gets too much skip to about 5:00 to see the point of it all. [... more]
Some weekend fun.
One of the archetypes mentioned in my article on chick taxonomy was the Femme Fatale. Well it turns out there is a real life version posting on the Internet. Naturally, Typealyzer considers her a party girl.

A frequent complaint from women is that there are no screen roles for the older lady. There might be an element of truth to that if you neglect actresses like Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep, and Judi Dench (who, at 74, goes to-to-toe with James Bond). Another neglected demographic is geeks. Pretty much any man in a geeky role is played for laughs. If he is an accountant he will be played as meek and simpering. If he is a computer or engineering type he will be played as a misfit who is socially incompetent. You can be fairly sure the role will not be heroic.

A management “dashboard” should also give you a quick overview of the enterprise and alert you to areas that might need attention.
Obviously, my Three Types of Chick post was not really that helpful given that it was more an attempt at humor than serious analysis. This post will be a (slightly) more serious attempt to categorize the women you might meet. [... more]
When talking about dating we always seem to need to put people into categories or types. This typing simplifies conversations. So, to help my dear readers I have created a simple list that will help categorize the women (and men) in your life. [... more]
What do you get if you mix a herd of sheep and a bunch of LED lights? Well according to this video you get, a game of pong, a work of art, and a firework display. And you thought sheep were just dumb animals. The linked video is work and family safe.
