Chinglesh
One of the things that I love when visiting China is their novel use of the English Language. This is a picture that my friend took when he was over there. This was at an HP Site in China. The last time I was there (1997), there were a lot of these. It's amazing how things can be syntactically correct when strung together never makes a lot of sense, or is not very nice ;-). Ah language...so many nuances...that's why humans love it so much!

My Ipod Shuffle thinks I'm Gay
I saw this awesome post on Craig's List. It's interesting how people are using devices as a reflective of who they are:
"Dear Ipod:
After spending a few weeks with you, I am beginng to fear you think I am a gay man. (of course, not that there's anything wrong with that)
I recognize that there are several up tempo dance songs on my playlist, along with a few Madonna and Britney Spears tracks. However, I am curious why whenever I choose the shuffle mode, you select these songs and these songs only to play. I like Madonna, I do... I just don't need 10 consecutive hours of her. And yes, the Pet Shop Boys are fun, but I don't really want to hear "West End Girls" on a 30 minute loop.
The first time I thought it was just a coincidence, but lately I have been wondering if perhaps you think I spend my entire day singing and dancing like some flamboyant queen or like Ellen on that ridiculous American Express commercial. (Again, not there's anything wrong with that)... ummmm, because I really don't dance and sing that much, and sometimes just like to listen to a depressing song about suicide.
Anyway, if there is any chance you could include a little Wilco or Arcade Fire, next time you choose the mix, I would be very appreciate.
Sincerely,
-Your Listener"
