There's one of those "Successories" posters at work with the large word "TEAMWORK" and the text, "There is no such thing as a self-made man. You can only reach your goals with the help of others." I don't know whether to find this uplifting or depressing.
People using Bluetooth while driving: safer than not using a handsfree device.
People using Bluetooth while walking: potentially annoying.
A friend's psychiatrist constantly wore his Bluetooth headset, even during counseling sessions. I could not believe this when my friend told me about it. He called the doc "Dr. Bluetooth." To me, the presence of the headset, even if the doc never took a call on it while he was listening to me, would imply that there was a call out there that was potentially more important than listening to me. Wouldn't exactly foster an environment of trust.
As for the website, I'd like to add "Person Who Simply Must Take Every Conference Call On Speakerphone, With Office Door Open."
I'm not saying this is a GOOD thing that happened, but as I said on another discussion website, I really hope that everyone who talks in movie theaters hears about it.
I got to visit Hawaii (big island) in 1999, and got to watch sumo wrestling on TV (the hotel had two or three Japanese language channels). During the week, I ate at a Japanese restaurant and had my first-ever miso soup with soba noodles and seaweed, which was just amazingly delicious. These recipes sounded pretty yummy too, although a few of the ingredients are out of my realm of possibility (crysantheum greens?).
After something like this, I anticipate postings about the recent $1M arson damage to Sarah Palin's church in Wasilla. After all, that's pretty neat too, right?
