Asperger's Syndrome

You definately have to be on the Autistic Spectrum to understand why this is so funny. The very thought of it! An Autistic reporter whos very job it is to talk to people and appear on camera.  Durng a funeral segment, he casually offers, "It is a bad thing that Danielle is a dead body now" and then proceeds to spout of memorized murder rate facts.

Asperger's Syndrome

I came across a good article at Spiegel.com about a new job placement service for those with Asperger's Syndrome.

Danish particle physicist, Niels Kjaer, crated "Specialisterne" (The Specialists). Only those on the autistic spectrum are hired. The jobs that these people get are often in the IT industry where the special brand of autistic obsession is actually an asset.

Quotes That Define Me

I sometimes think religion is completely derived from death itself. The enormous fear of dying that is programmed into each human is ripe fodder for religious zealots all over the world. The indoctrinated of the world rush to "buy insurance" for the so-called after life. How crazy is that?

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.” ― Mark Twain

Cheer Me Up!

I've spent the whole week trying to put social network icons all over client sites. It's really depressing to see how all these people think FaceBook is marketing gold. 

If you fill a room full of people and they are all talking, it's just noise. 

Anyway, I thought about my favorite show, "The IT Crowd" and the "FriendFace" episode.

Cooking

What a simple idea! I've been trying to use more vegetables with breakfast ever since I began to near 40. Most people who have made this say to pre cook the peppers either by boiling or frying ahead of the eggs. I bet if you bought this in a restaurant it would be $14.99.
