Unstructured Humor

In all likelihood, you have a sense of humor. The question, however, is what sort of a sense of humor do you have.

OkCupid!'s 3 Variable Funny Test is an utterly unscientific quiz that, never the less, seems to do a fairly good job of graphing a persons humor preferences along three axes.

As you can see, my own preferences are for humor that is dark, clean and complex which identifies me as a "wit".

Grand Central

I'm on the beta for GrandCentral.com, which is a Google-owned business that has a service where they give you a central phone number which can then dial multiple phones (i.e. work, cell, home, etc) according to various criteria (family, friends, etc) and which also has an online voice mail system.

I have up to ten invites that I can hand out to the beta. If you are interested in checking it out, email me a request and I'll send you an invite.

First come, first serve.

Unstructured Web Design

As someone who's done enough amateur web design, I have nothing but respect for people who actually do it for a living.

Unstructured URLs

If anyone has ever sent you a monsterously long URL that wraps across several lines of email, you know what a pain in the patookus it is to reassemble. Of course, you inflict this same inconvenience on others when you do the same.

Now there's TinyURL, which is a site that will take huge URLs, such as http://andrewlias.blogspot.com/2004/04/how-to-tell-your-ass-from-hole-in.html, and, intuitively enough, create small and manageable URLs, such as http://tinyurl.com/3b726, that act as redirects to the real URL.
