Crazy people

There are some seriously crazy people in the world! Though I have to admit I am jealous!

I like the way this illustrates some points about what is involved when Microsoft or Yahoo are forced to respond to a Google challenge. The fire & motion article it links to is also worth checking out.

Talking of crazy, how many people would think to immerse their PC in cooking oil for silent operation ? I bet it is a nightmare to add more memory/replace the video card :-)

I need to start writing about my New Year's resolutions so that I will be able to see how I did at the end of the year. As one person has already pointed out I should already be about 2% towards completing them - going to be a bit difficult since I am not even sure what they are yet :-) I will probably recycle some of last years but try and keep them as a manageable set this time to give them a chance of being realised.

Another person I know at work today announced that they are leaving (perhaps this is the start of a trend). It took them a while to make the decision but once they did they looked around and seem to have landed themselves a new job with a 50% pay increase!
