Tuesday Night
Story of the week:
After reading Joel on software, especially on the chapter where there was a huge exodus of Windows developers due to the ridiculous amount of work they had to put in just so they could support multiple version of Windows when Microsoft decided to break backward compatibility by going from Win API -> Win 16 bit -> Win 32 Bit - > WinFS, suddenly I feel like a crying baby for all the whines and bitchings I’ve had over the years about browsers differences / incompetence. At least on the web, browsers are actually heading to the right direction, conforming more to the web standards as they evolve (css improvement, better DHTML supports(IE 7), improved XSLT support(safari) ).
TV of the week:
Tonight Niptuck’s finale is all about the awesomeness. Great ending and the drama has matured over the years. Great finale song too. They pretty much did a free MTV for whoever the singer is.
LOL of the week:
“Tyron Honeybee would be my gay porn movie name” said Steven Colbert just now on his Report show. I need to stop watching the Report. Not healthy for the heart.
Quote of the week:
The answer to “Why doesn’t this feature exist?” is usually “By default features don’t exist. Somebody has to implement them.”
It’s not like every feature you can think of comes out of your brain fully tested and implemented, and then some PM somewhere files a bug to have your feature removed. Features start out nonexistent and somebody has to make them happen.

WTF of the week:
There are two entries actually. It’s amazing how out-of-the-world some people can get these days.
