my personal assistant has been trained to read the FB posts of the few of you not on ignore, post obvious comments and flag what might be worthy of my attention. The last several years this position has been filled by an ex-stripper whom penske impregnated, and whose salary is actually paid by penske-co. She isn't offended except by foot shots of women with only 5 toes.

The PB duties I leave to the annual winner of the special olympics pull-up contest.

Detroit Board is where my time goes.

Or, at the very least, a computer with a "Page Down" key so they can quickly scroll past any post from TM that says "Today's Top 5."

I mean, really -- is it that tough?

Generally, I don't like to close my door unless something actionable is taking place. It sets the wrong tone.

It's like they won a tit-watching contest where the prize is more tits.

Apparently God didn't want Madrid to have the Copa del Rey.

I have done just the opposite so I can actually get some fucking work done.

Ipad 2 (reposted from the other wrong board)

I'm thinking of buying. Do I need the wireless plan or is wifi sufficient? The uses I currently anticipate are at home or on a plane where wireless will be unnecessary. I also have my iphone for when I'm out an about, so maybe I don't need it? I'm sure I'm missing some way in which I will use the thing and really want wireless coverage.

Also, the single biggest factor keeping me from buying has been the limited storage. The 16 Gigs on my iphone are not enough for my entire audio collection, although there's probably no need to carry all of that on the iPad. Nonetheless, if I want to load up with a movie or several movies for a plane trip, do I need 64G? Is that enough?

I bought the wifi 64 gig. I also have an iphone, and there's really no need to have the wireless plan unless you travel and/or commute all the time (and don't have an iphone). I prefer reviewing emails on the ipad, but I can deal (and have been dealing) just fine on the iphone when wifi isn't available.

Yes.

Re: Lamest k race win ever

Since Skynet must've had some hiccups on the whole April-21-is-Judgment-Day thingeroo, here's the new date.



Remember, the Bible guarantees it, so be sure to put this date down in the ol' Outlook. Prepare to cry mightily, sinners.

You can tether to your iPhone using a personal hotspot, although not if you have/keep unlimited data. It's also more flexible—you buy 2gb of data to tether but can use it on iPhone or your iPad.
