A friend sent me a great email with some very clever replies to put on into your automatic ‘Out of Office’ email responder. Have a look and a laugh and by all means, if you have seen some good ones drop them in the comments pile…Enjoy…

1. I am currently out of the office at a [...]

I know there are quite a few readers who would like this so I thought I would share this little tidbit. The website www.bookseller.com has been collecting a list of all the absurd book titles they can find. Some of my favorite include:

“Are Women Human? And other International Dialogues.”
“How to Write a How to Write Book”
“If You Want [...]

I just read a great article on Reuters about a guy in New York who went to the bank one day to find out he had over $5 million in his account. This is the same account that only had $800 dollars the day before.

Okay don’t get all excited this is not coming to a BlackBerry near you anytime soon.  I just thought it was interesting that SRS Labs is working on a new 5.1 stereo surround sound codec specifically for mobile devices. This is a pretty cool idea but I have to ask if they really think the [...]

I have never made it a secret that I’m a huge ‘Apple’ fan.
It occurred to me the other day that the small ‘Trackball’ on my Curve matches the small ‘TrackBall’ on my wireless Apple mighty mouse. A few people who have used my computer absolutely hated it preferring instead the standard mouse ‘clickwheel’. I guess [...]

I received an email from a friend containing a few tricks with mobile (Cell) phones. At first I just disregarded it as ‘Junk’. Some of these we all know…ie: International emergency phone number as this tip is included in every mobile phone instruction booklet I have ever read. But I decided to try the tip [...]
