A funny IT Quote from Doug Larson
0
Something as penetrating in our society as Information Technology is certain to generate a lot of funny quotes. Doug Larson, celebrated columnist for the Green Bay Press-Gazette gave us some very funny ones!
I usually feature comedy on Saturdays. In the past, I have featured jokes, comics, cartoons, and news on the weekends. Sometimes I include comics, stories, games, and photos. This week it will be a funny quote. You can read more about the author at Wikipedia.
“Home computers are being called upon to perform many new functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog.”
I hope that I gave you a good chuckle to make your weekend a little more enjoyable. I will be back Monday with more serious IT topics!
What did you think of the quote? Did you like it? Do you know of any other similar ones? Please share.

More Help Desk Humor (photo)
0I love the folks who work Enterprise Service Desks… or IT Help Desks, if you prefer. You have to admit that their work is thankless and mostly unrewarding. It does take a special kind of techie to put up with “users” all day long. It also results in a very dry sort of humor that I think, is a form of self protection!
Today, I found this funny picture on the web and thought that I would share it with you. Here’s to the help desk…
I hope that it gets your post holiday Tuesday off to a great start.
While you are chuckling maybe it is a good day to thank the “guys on the help desk” for all that they do to keep your organization up and running?

Video: The End of the “I’m a Mac” Ad Campaign
0
Anyone involved in Information Technology during the past five years is aware of the famous Apple “I’m a Mac…I’m a PC” TV Ad campaign. Besides being simply hysterical, it also is credited with creating the greatest wave of Apple’s market share growth in history. Unfortunately, Apple has decided to end this run of 30 second comedy spots. They have even pulled all of them off of their website. Lucky for us that fans of the series have archived them all on YouTube!
I usually feature comedy on Saturdays. In the past, I have featured jokes, comics, cartoons, and news on the weekends. Sometimes I include comics, stories, games, and photos. By far, though, videos with Information Technology (IT) themes have been the most popular. So I have gone back to this endless well!
For this week, I have picked this video to share with you as follow-up. It is called “Buy a Mac”… It is by Apple Computers and compiled by nahu090yt. It is a seven minute compilation of the first 15 classic commercials from this campaign. I am sure that with a little YouTube searching, you could easily find the entire series of commercials.
I hope that I gave you a good chuckle to make your weekend a little more meaningful. I will be back Monday with more serious IT topics!
I will miss this ad campaign.
What did you think of the video? Did you like it? Do you know of any other similar movies or clips? Please share.
