I have a disease that I just invented. It's called MGPS or Multiple Google Personality Syndrome.
You catch MGPS by googling yourself and looking at the results. You soon realize that you are not alone and that you actually have several unique personalities. Here are some of mine:
Personality # 1 - Photographer
Personality #2 - An entire law firm
Personality #3 - Writer
Personality #4 - Jamaican Tennis Star, seriously.
Personality #5 - War Hero, now that's sad...rest in peace Specialist Russell.
Personality #6 - Scottish Football Star, if it's not Scottish it's shite!
Personality #8 - Montreal Canadien, not sure about that one.
Personality #9 - Artist
Personality #10 - House Pimp

Make enemies
As an IT worker I've made a lot of enemies over the years. I've compiled a list of the five most hated things (hated by my users) I've had to do and why I've done them. Acutually, in most cases I've been forced to do them by some one else.
#5 You have an obscure user name that is difficult to remember.
Why? - Let's say your name is "Joe Moron". So I assign you a user name of "JMORON" because it's easy for you to remember. That's great but it is also easy for hackers to find out, allowing them to get into the system that much easier. So now your name is B66453 as far as I'm concerned.
#4 Say goodbye Solitaire, we'll miss you.
Why? - Because you let your manager catch you playing it to often, idiot! I don't care if you play Solitaire all day but your boss does.
#3 I have limited the amount of email that you can keep.
Why? - Personally I'd love for you to be able to see three years worth of baby pictures that people have emailed you but there are serveral reasons why I can't. First, having years worth of email is a legal liability that most companies want to avoid these days, thanks Enron. Second, I don't have a magic fountain of server storage or a Jeanie that grants me infinite terabytes of drive space.
#2 Restricted your Internet access.
Why? - Just like every where else there are those that abuse the system. If Sammy Whackacock hadn't been caught looking at amateurtrannywhores.com then I wouldn't have had to block what you can get to. Relax, MySpace will be still there when you get home you crack addict.
#1 You have to use a complex password.
Why? - Because the password "huggs" takes about 1 second to break with a good dictionary/brute force password cracker. I swear people bitch about this so much you'd think that I was forcing them to sell their children into slavery. If you can't remember an 8 character sequence of numbers and letters then maybe you should go back to elementary school.

FLAT!
Check out these sweet pictures.
That 997 Turbo is unbelievably hot in flat black. Of course this isn't really original because flat black has been hugely popular in the Rat Rod community for decades.
Apparently flat paint in lots of other colors is becoming popular in ALL the car modding circles. So, look for it to be available on some factory cars in the next couple of years as a several hundred dollar option.
I can just see the new Challenger in flat black with some gloss orange stripes....sweet.

Steampunk rules
I love Steampunk. This guy has done some of the most amazing Steampunk conversions that I have ever seen. Look at that monitor! So much nicer than the boring black box that he started with.
It's only a matter of time before Steampunk bubbles over into the mainstream. Get ready ladies you'll all be wearing hoop skirts and push-up corsets before you know it.

Last Man Standing
Thought that this story was interesting. Only two WWI veterans left alive in the U.S.
Here's a great Wiki page about the surviving veterans world-wide.....only 22 left.

Legal shmegal.
I don't know how this works but you should check out TVU. It can't possibly be legal that they are rebroadcasting all these TV channels over the internet. Anyway, the interface is a little wacky but you can watch some crazy stuff.
Why Porsche, Why!
I know that the Cayenne is a fantastic SUV. It's fast, relatively comfortable, nimble handling and still excellent off-road. That's a pretty hard thing to put together and don't get me wrong, it is impressive. But why does it have to be so damn ugly? I mean Porsche keeps making changes to the engines, trim levels and subtle styling changes but they've left the worst bit in place...that awful gaping fish mouth of a front end. It looks like someone took a 911 and stacked it on top of some old Ford Crown Victoria.
Can't they come up with something a bit more svelte than that? Every time one comes up behind me I feel a little sad knowing that the person driving it could have bought a 911.

The fued
The ongoing fued between Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert finally reached a boiling point. It was bound to happen, with no writers to hold them back their personal attacks finally led to this.
Side note, please don't vote for Huckabee.
