HBS Working Knowledge Comments of the Year

Harvard Business School's Working Knowledge produced a list of their favorite comments from 2017. This one made me laugh:

People Have an Irrational Need to Complete Sets of Things
Joel comments: I like this for two reasons:
1) You can build dramatic tension by starting a list.

It reminds me of that joke about the 10 types of people in the world - those who understand binary and those who don't.

Doom!

It's everywhere!

You can play "Doom" on a thermostat because of course you can https://t.co/tql3kdXQpX pic.twitter.com/P2Ob7fy1xD

Look, I'm not saying ATMs are trivial to hack, just that lots of them seem to run Doom okay. Infer what you will 😏 pic.twitter.com/PNPPj4L4Tp

Friday Funny

Via Dustbury:

Checkout some others at (I kid you not) the Electrical Engineering Memes for Fourier Transformed Teens.

Will Miracles Never Cease?

Microsoft is replacing the "J" with a smiley.

I don't know about that...

Hysterical... Amazon Echo Silver by SNL.

By the way, I got my Echo Dot to control my Honeywell thermostats. Pretty cool to ask her what the temperature is upstairs or down and get her to make the changes. I'm surprised how frequently I find the voice control to be handy. (I have CarPlay and really like using Siri to make calls and read or send messages.)

Princess Leia shared "Death Star Plans" with you

I've also thought that 99% of the plot driving problems from Seinfeld would be eliminated if they had mobile phones.

They should've used Dropbox. #MayThe4th

That Explains It

Never seen a Chick-fil-A without a line wrapped around it. They close on Sundays to count money. Not because Jesus said so.

Happy Anniversary!

Hopefully it is a happy one... if not, you may be in trouble if you are getting a radio and she's getting something from PSA.

sorry fellas, I got the best one ever!

Zima

Great - I can make calls on my 3310 while drinking a nice, cold Zima. Good times.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day, my dearest. I look forward to working you tonight. #hamentine

I may have posted this earlier - that's what happens when you get so far behind.

Posting

Sorry about the lack of posting last month... sometimes there is just too much going on. Plus my computer was busy downloading stuff...

Make Signal Reports Great Again

Ha!

Any signal reports less than 599 are #FakeRSTs

Hams and Runners

I forgot to mention in my post yesterday about hams and the half the marathon that I often try to thank the volunteers as I run - at least when I have enough breath to do it. Usually it is simple "thanks" for people at a water stop, a course monitor, or policeman stopping traffic. For the hams, I toss out a "73" as  I go by. It really caught one ham off guard on Saturday. I could hear him excitedly telling his buddies what I said. I think this Venn diagram explains his excitement.

Could Be Worse

I'll see your face for radio and raise you a voice for blogging.

Baofeng or Bangfeng?

No love for the Baofengs. The shooting starts around 2:50.

Joke of the Year

I know it's early, but as a follow-up to yesterday's post about addressing your Amazon Echo as "Computer," I cracked up reading this fantastic comment:

Hey, now you can just say "computer" to give your @amazonecho a command. Does that mean it's Enterprise-ready? https://t.co/R43Hv8Z6bY pic.twitter.com/30S93cC24B
