What hath God wrought?


Vanilla IceBerg: People understand rings pretty instinctively. 
Vanilla IceBerg: The ring of integers has addition, subtraction, and multiplication. 
Vanilla IceBerg: You can usually lean on those and people will understand you. 
Vanilla IceBerg: Division is funny though.
Vanilla IceBerg: Also I'm dictating these messages to you while driving.
Vanilla IceBerg: Its like sending tiny telegrams, simultaneously living in the future and the past.

Gooooooooooooal!

Vanille IceBerg:
I learned that if you cash out at the poker room for $5K (or $10K), they don't usually bother counting bills and just give you one of those banded stacks from the bank with 50 (or 100) new Benjamins.
Vanille IceBerg:
So now my life has a new goal.
GorbaChavez:
a worthy en devour
Vanille IceBerg:
Life Golazo, if you like.
GorbaChavez:
lol
Vanille IceBerg:
lolazo

Vote or Die (from starvation)!

Vanilla IceBerg: There's some new doodad where you can vote on themes for some meals here at the office.
Vanilla IceBerg: So, I just wrote this on internal G+, with a link to the vote-taker thingy:
"Your choices are, once again, "tacos" and "some crap that isn't tacos." You know what to do, Chicagoog."
Vanilla IceBerg: There's also a feature where people can delegate their future votes to you on the same set of topics, so I advertised for that, asking people to delegate to me: "Do not allow the anti-taco lobby to disenfranchise you. Your right to tacos is as inalienable as it is delicious." I've already had one person delegate to me.
GorbaChavez: And you don't want to run for office.
Vanilla IceBerg: This is the first time I've run for office involving tacos. I would become more politically involved if that were more widespread. As would you, I suspect.
GorbaChavez: I'm more of an activist. I'd march for the rights of taco lovers country wide.
GorbaChavez: Si se puede! Can haz tacoz!
Vanilla IceBerg: Si se puede! (Con cilantro!)
Vanilla IceBerg: Si se puede! (Sin cebollas!)
GorbaChavez: you are the cilantro and cebollas of my life
Vanilla IceBerg: <3

Dude, you're getting a Dell, er Bell!

GorbaChavez: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_(TV_series)
Vanilla IceBerg: Sherlock Holmes looks like Stiffler
Vanilla IceBerg: and also WTF "and Lucy Liu as Watson."
Vanilla IceBerg: This shit is getting rebooted like a Packard Bell running Windows Me.
Vanilla IceBerg: Too soon?

Oh Bother!

Vanilla IceBerg: I played ME3 for almost an hour. It was... something.
GorbaChavez: that's better than nothing?
Vanilla IceBerg: It was. I was super-clumsy. I had basically forgotten how to play Xbox games.
Vanilla IceBerg: I have some yak to shave, though. I moved my ME2 save game to Teh Cl0ud!!1!, but ME3 didn't want me to import my character.
Vanilla IceBerg: And I'll be goddamned if I'm leaving all that completionist effort from the first two games on the table.
GorbaChavez: that's unfortunate
Vanilla IceBerg: I just moved my latest ME2 save game from the old Xbox HDD to Teh Cl0ud, and apparently that wasn't enough to get ME3 to import the character.
Vanilla IceBerg: So, I'll just move that back to the HDD, start ME3 on the ancient Xbox, then move that save game to Teh Cl0ud so I can play on the new Xbox.
GorbaChavez: I can't help but feel like we just did a role reversal
Vanilla IceBerg: Video games: check.
Vanilla IceBerg: Multiple Xboxes: check.
Vanilla IceBerg: Pointless technological yak shaving without understanding underlying problem: check.
Vanilla IceBerg: I'll be reporting for my sombrero and mustache tomorrow.
GorbaChavez: this is why we're Forever Friends, Christopher Robins
Vanilla IceBerg: <3

Under Review

Vanilla Iceberg: Like, if my manager is the only review that matters, don't waste my time with a bunch of peer-reviewing circle jerk.
Vanilla Iceberg: The "self evaluation" things most places have are bad enough.
GorbaChavez: I evaluate myself on the daily
Vanilla Iceberg: I'm evaluating myself right now.
GorbaChavez: not in public!
Vanilla Iceberg: You couldn't even tell if you were looking right at me.
GorbaChavez: I would be evaluating your self-evaluation
GorbaChavez: (and approving)

Do we have wormsign?

GorbaChavez: check this out
Vanilla IceBerg: Sorry, what am I looking at in this map?
GorbaChavez: your nerd cred, apparently
Vanilla IceBerg: Oh, I see it now.
Vanilla IceBerg: That high school made the Kessel run in under some unit of distance instead of time.
GorbaChavez: It's always about the spice
GorbaChavez: Glitterstim spice , Spice Melange, Sporty Spice, Posh Spice...
Vanilla IceBerg: People are always fighting over those things.
Vanilla IceBerg: Except Sporty.
