The aftermath continues to look worse for the people in the Gulf States, especially those hardest hit in New Orleans and the surrounding area. A current slideshow of pictures on the destruction. You might consider making a contribution to the American Red Cross for the staggering number of victims in this disaster — we just did and will try to send more again shortly.

I think it takes a certain mindset to create one of those photomosaic montages. You know — the ones where you take a gazillion smaller pictures and paste them together to form a bigger picture. Andrea Denzler has written a freeware program that allows you to take your own pictures and put them into a single composition (it’s called AndreaMosaic, of course!). She composed this huge 4.7 Gb mosaic of Van Gogh’s Starry Night using thousands of smaller images that you can actually zoom in and see. You can see her Starry Night here. And you can download the program here. (9 Mb)

I would never have thought of trying this one out. Find a headset that works on the same frequency as the drivethru of your local Wendy’s and mess with customers’ heads (and orders). This customer is threatening a lawsuit after getting conflicting instructions at the order station! (460K mp3 file)

Most of you know I love pranks (harmless ones) — this one takes them to a new level. Add a simple-looking sign that appears innocuous enough to a McDonalds restaurant. Giving me some new ideas.

An unemployed man is desperate to support his family of a wife and three kids. He applies for a janitor’s job at a large high tech firm and easily passes an aptitude test.
The human resources manager tells him, “You will be hired at minimum wage of $5.35 an hour. Let me have your e-mail address so that we can get you in the loop. Our system will automatically e-mail you all the forms and advise you when to start and where to report on your first day.”
Taken aback, the man protests that he is poor and has neither a computer nor an e-mail address.

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus: NOW Think about these choices don’t scroll down to the answer until you read it through.
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

This guy does what I’ve wanted to do: Piss off a scammer on eBay. It’s posted on a page of his blog called The Powerbook Prank and it’s a great read as well as an eye-opener on how auction scammers operate. (MyNameIsJeff actually lives in North Seattle!) Sellers (AND Buyers) beware!
