IT Quote of the Week: Douglas Engelbart
Jul 21st
Douglas Engelbart invented the computer mouse and was an early pioneer of the Information Technology profession. As such he is an excellent pick to be our IT Thought of the Day Quote of the Week Series feature.
I like Information Age quotations. I find some of them very inspirational and like to carry a new one around about every week. I thought that i could share mine with you from time to time. This week it will be a funny quote. You can read more about the author at Wikipedia.
“The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing.”
Douglas Engelbart

More Enterprise Service Desk Humor: Funny Sign
Jun 26th
You all know that I have a special place in my heart for Enterprise Service Desk (i.e. IT Help Desk) workers. Thankless job, long hours, boring work, and required smiles! I find that they tend to survive, very much like combat troops, by developing a very dry sense of humor!
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. Today, it will be all about a great sign!
Take a gander at this funny sign:
I found this photo on the Flicker site of matildaben. He has a link to its original author, Virtual Wolf, here.
The most humorous part of all of this is that it is all so true. Some of the jokes hit a bit close to home!
I hope that I gave you a chuckle to make your weekend a little brighter. I will be back Monday with more serious topics!

iPhone Loving (Video)
Jun 19th
In honor of next week’s iPhone 4 launch by Apple, I thought that I would comb through YouTube and see what sort of iPhone loving videos have been posted before. What I found did not disappoint in the least! As I suspected, people sure do love their iPhones – enough to make hundreds of videos expressing such for the world to see!
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, humor and especially videos with Information Technology (IT) themes have been the most popular. So I have gone back to this endless well of laughs! I simply cannot get enough of comedy videos!
For this week, I have picked this video to share with you as follow-up. It is called “iPhone Love”… It is by invisibleSHIELD and it just plain funny!
The most humorous part of all of this is that it is all so true. Some of the jokes hit a bit close to home!
I hope that I gave you a chuckle to make your weekend a little brighter. I will be back Monday with more serious topics!
What did you think of the video? Funny? Do you know of any other similar movies or clips? Please share.
