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.

IT Quote of the Week: Louis Gerstner
0We are continuing our IBM theme this week. The obviously have had a number of smart people work there!
International Business Machines (IBM) was one of the first information technology companies in the world and definitely the first one to become a Fortune 100 company. Its CEOs, such as Louis Gerstner, therefore make for worthy additions to our IT Thought of the Day Quote of the Week Series. Last week we featured their founder, this week, we go to their CEO from 1993-2000, Louis Gerstner. He is most famous for his massive reorganization of the company away from hardware and into consulting.
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.
Here is my quote of the day:
“Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.”

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?
