Well, OK, not every where. It's missing in this bathroom. See if you can spot the design flaw in this bathroom stall at a local restaurant: I must have missed the sign on the door:     I have been a fan of CakeWrecks for a long time, I am mighty tempted to start up a similar blog for a hall...

Gee. That image just immediately brings home to me that here I am at the front door of the company store, where I can buy Microsoft products at discount prices. :-) Look at them kaaaraaaazy, wacky kids, talking about Microsoft software!

I couldn't say it better myself:   P.S. Kudos to the Live Writer team - pretty slick Insert | Video functionality!

With the new 'green' effort with our kitchen supplies, they posted signs in every kitchen:

I helped put together a video for Interact that gives a glimpse behind-the-scenes of the Exchange team. Please don't be scared off by the high production videos and think we're corporate shills - it's just because we got the marketing team to pay for it (score!). Near the end of the video they have a...

Raymond recently blogged about having to repeat himself multiple times in the same thread, answering the same question asked in different ways by the same person. It reminded me of one of my favorite old Exchange team stories: On an internal technical DL about Exchange (I think in the e2k3 development...

Try this. Open up word, make sure automatic spellchecking is on, and type in the names of some star wars characters:       I love it. They're in the dictionary... except, for some reason, for Leia. For the ones it does know, it even capitalizes the first letter for you if you type it lower...

I am thinking there's a lot of comedic potential here, for exchange geeks like me at least. :-)

As I mentioned a couple months ago , we have been working on two new OWA themes. I was secretive then because I wasn't sure if we'd be able to ship them in SP1 or not, but thanks to the hard work of several designers and developers we got them in. And with the release of Exchange 2007 SP1 Beta 2 , we...

It's a fairly common pasttime (at least in my building!) to poke fun at the "Art" collection (more details on that collection here ). In particular in our building, a bunch of us think that some of the "Art" is just silly, such as: A painting taller than I am, that is simply a "5" printed in black...

My son and husband and I were at the park, in the playground area which is enclosed by a cement circle. He walks outside the cement circle, points at the grass a little ways way and says "Mommy, I'm going to go log off over there and get you a flower!" We puzzled this one over for a minute, and then...

Last July, I ran this search: http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&q=%22steaming+media%22 and got 4 results. Today, I am honored and proud to be able to say... we are now down to two . This, dear reader, is quality in action! --> Animation and Timing...

About this .

At lunch today, two guys I did not know sat at the other end of the table that myself and a coworker were eating at. At some point, I ended up overhearing part of their discussion, which went like this: "So you know Star Trek, right? They have this alien race, called the Borg. The borg are half-human...

I blogged a few years ago about how I did an April Fool's edition of my college's ACM's newsletter. What I neglected to mention in that post is that I actually came up with the idea in September of that year, and I became the editor of the newsletter that month for the express intention of waiting it...

Customizing OWA themes is quite simple to do. Here's an example of a theme I just put together, I call it "MOOWA": The fun part about this theme isn't so much the graphics as the sounds: included are a "mooooooooo" for the new mail sound as well as a cowbell[1] for the reminder sound. For more...

These are so cool. [via Nino ]

Check out the feature list for this cool Beaker doll : Features: The Beaker 18-inch Plush doll is a must for any fan of The Muppets. Perfect for the collector and a great gift to brighten one's day. 'Meep! Meep! Meep!'

We're looking for a few good limericks! Check out my post on the Exchange blog .

While shopping for trains for a gift for my son (I think we've settled on this one - what do you think, isn't it nice?), I was bored enough that I started wondering what nuggets http://www.tinyurl.com had hidden behind its random letters and whether or not this form of spelunking could teach me anything...

Play Settlers online at http://catan.jsettlers.com/index.html. I love this game! Haven't played in years. Just wasted two hours playing online :-) Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the blog on which I found this to give proper credit, sorry!

Turns out we aren't the only ones with some amusing ones: http://support.veritas.com/docs/274171 : "How to convert bits to Megabytes" OK so it's not intentionally funny, but...

I was in a meeting a while back where an architect was relaying an experience he'd had with a problem with phishing, where he had two databases and needed to synchronize data between the two, and whether or not we should use a surrogate key. Everyone in the room nodded along until he got to the end of...

This post from Matthew Baldwin is classic .

Bill posted this meme (which came from a bunch of people, as far back as this dude whose O was office.microsoft.com, hurrah!) and it caught my eye: Clear the address bar in your browser, type in every letter of the alphabet, and list out what is the first URL on the history list. ...Or, in my case, censor...
