"EOW"

Yes, that stands for "end of week." One of many corporate acronyms, ie. "I'll have those internationalization spec sheets to you by EOW." Ever feel like this at work?:

My friend thinks that this guy's frustration stems from the fact that he's probably programming and getting syntax errors left and right; add to that, his inability to type with more than two fingers and you get one disgruntled engineer. I think he's just out of his freaking mind. You decide.

Anyways, Dashboard Widgets; I've come to love them. On OS X Tiger and even on XP. Some of them essentially do nothing and just look cool, while others have become indispensable. Give them a shot; they're cross-platform compatible.

Another thing I've come to appreciate: urbandictionary.com. Not only is it useful for looking up slang terms, but its also funny as hell. For example, I looked up the term "milkshake" because I've always wondered what the context of it's use was in that annoying-ass song by Kelis. Someone submitted the following:
. . .
Milkshake, (noun)

1. whipped iced dairy drink usually coming as chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry.
2. a girls body

1. Wow that milkshake from McDonald's was good.
2. (Kelis' song 'Milkshake')

"My whipped ice dairy drink brings the attention of many males to my place of residence and/or employment, and they declare that it's quality far surpasses that of yours. Absolutely, it far surpasses yours. I could convey to you the recipe, but I would have to demand monetary compensation."
. . .

If you know the song, you'll find the last paragraph to be a funny, articulate version of the chorus.

Ah, where would we be without the internet?
