You ever spend a lot of time and energy pulling something together, and badgering people for information--just to realize that nobody actually cares if you have updated all that information in a much cleaner and more accurate database?

With me it's usually people not remembering or caring that I have access to cleaner, quicker and more accurate databases,

I'm sorry, crazy Russian dude, my company is not required to maintain support for the software we issued in 2000. And it won't install on your Win 7 machine anyway.

Hhhrrrmmph

So I saw this on the way home tonight: [link] A mobile sukkah."Mitzvot on the spot for people on the go!"

Yeah. It's the Sukkot version of the mitzvah tanks. I avoid them -- I don't need the guilt trip.

My son's homework tonight includes watching the debates. He's in second grade. My daughter's homework does not. She's in 4th. But luckily for her, she'll watch them since he's watching. I guess that means I'm watching too.

Watching Jon Stewart greet Liam Neeson in last night's show, and I think it's so funny that he actually talked on the show about how he finally figured out to walk over to the edge of the platform to shake hands while the guest is still a step down. Smart that he did it, silly that he called it out.

He mentioned it a couple of weeks ago with, shoot, I forget the guest, a comedian I think. I totally wouldn't have noticed but now I try to see the magic happen. (I'm also watching last night's show, but just started)

silly that he called it out

eh, he's been short all his life, right? I'm guessing he's pretty comfortable about it by now.

Sure, but you don't see every talk show host talking about how their chairs are higher than the guest's, either. Just usually they don't mention the ~~showbiz magic~~!
