I was in an all-day training session today and we were snarking on the new Google logo. Which is kind of bullshit because we literally *just* changed our own logo like a month ago, but since nobody in the room was part of the branding team we ignored the hypocrisy and just went with it.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

This morning, when I was getting milk out of the fridge for my cereal, I fumbled it and the carton split. Milk everywhere. Coordination, I lacks it.

So, tomorrow morning I'm supposed to be videotaped giving a ten minute presentation and critiqued on my presentation skills, and I have *nothing* to present. I've been looking through old PowerPoints I have to see if there's anything I can recycle, and they're all terrible.

I have a customer who needs to move 3.75 gb of data between computers. He only has a 2gb flash drive, so the data has to be moved in chunks. I've showed him three times how to open windows and copy and paste data, but each time he says "But I don't understand! You have to help me!" So unless I tell him to go talk to someone at Best Buy, I have to help him divide his data and move it in chunks.
And the drive just decided to protest being filled up that much. So I told him to get a bigger flash drive and call us back.

Having the new logo be introduced by a cartoon hand drawing with crayon only emphasizes that it looks like a Sesame Street spelling lesson.
But not even an appealing Sesame Street, like the kind that will be paid for HBO. It's a terrible logo.

I actually don't mind the new logo, so long as they continue with the specialized logos.

I usually search with Google by typing in the url bar, so I rarely see Google.com. The new logo doesn't bother me much except for the "e". It looks unfinished to me. Maybe it's supposed to be jaunty? I rarely jaunt, so it's hard to say.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My cousin, who I know is not an idiot, just posted that the Black Panthers in Texas have "declared war" on the cops. I searched for any kind of confirmation and found a bunch of Breitbart-type sites.
Sigh.

And for my next trick, I will somehow misplace both my DragonCon lanyard and my DragonCon postcard that's used for registration. What the hell.
