Dilbert's performance review generator

For the middle-manager in all of us, Dilbert provides this handy performance review generator. It's great, if for no other reason than for coming up with those proactive, progressive-sounding, flowery (yet innocuous) terms that we find it necessary to use when describing ourselves for the ol' annual review.

Vote for your favorite Star Wars stamp

It's official: The US Postal Service is releasing Star Wars postage stamps on May 25th. (Well, I know what to get SOMEBODY for his birthday this year!) You can vote for your preference online. (It was a tough call for me, choosing between Boba Fett and Yoda, but I picked Yoda in the end.) Interesting side note: According to the USPS web site, this is only the 2nd time in its 256 year history that the USPS is allowing the public to vote on a stamp. If memory serves, the first time was when they had us choose between skinny/hot Elvis and old/fat Elvis. This time seems like more of a win-win situation though...

Parody motivator generator

The makers of Demotivators, parodies of those obnoxious, saccharine motivational posters you see in offices all the time, have created a do-it-yourself parody motivator generator. That's mine there (butterbean volunteered his photo for the cause). You just upload your photo and pick your demotivational phrase and some colors and you've got your very own demotivator.

Thanks to the Generator Blog for this one.

Dirtiest desk contest

The guys at Dethroner are having a contest to see who has the dirtiest desk as a part of their spring cleaning theme this week. Mine's fairly tidy, but I wonder if I could enter a photo of oldlady's desk... it would take the prize, hands down.

Daylight Saving Time this weekend!

This is the sucky time where we lose that extra hour of sleep for a night. Don't forget to spring forward one hour this weekend on Sunday night!
