Scott and I got ice cream today at the cafeteria. I had Ultrachocolate1 and Banana. Scott got Mint Chip and Concord Grape.

As I picked up mine, he asked “Did you just take my ice cream?”.

Scott is colorblind.

A few weeks ago, they tore down the old Marine-base era buildings next to Price Center, and broke ground on the Expansion. It appears they had some minor technical difficulties with one of the backhoes… (click for larger)

A menu item in MS Visual Studio: Help on Help.

Didn’t that raise any red flags? Did nobody consider that if the program is so complicated that you can’t use its help system without a tutorial, maybe they should rethink things a little?

But, hey, this is Microsoft. Nobody ever said they knew how to write software.
