I guarantee you, out there somewhere is an engineer thinking, “you know, you actually could graph the love songs of the past hundred years, correlate the popularity of each with the number of oh babys per, and come up with a pretty reliable optimum number.”

Admit it. ADMIT IT, you sliderule-humping mutant!

Swease, have you ever seen this?

I’m off to drink copious amounts of good vodka and do a little cat-yodeling. Ta!

Hahaha! An Engineer’s Guide to Cats! Yes, I think Mrs Peel was circulating that one.

you can’t spell Geek without “ee”.

That’s what my EE friend says over and over.

OMG…that is hilarious. Dancing kittehs. Cat yodeling…I almost expected to see some butt tromboneage.

Actually, I was pondering the very question that the other engineer asked, then I got distracted shopping for my own birfday present. In honor of the SC figuring out that the 2nd means having a firearm…

Weasel, here’s a source for the fringe jacket I think you mentioned.

Awwww…yeah! That’s exactly what I was looking for, Allen.

Yo Weasie, I found the PERFECT group of people for you out here in Colorado……

🙂

Hey, this place is pretty cool. I suppose they ccater to cowboy shooters and reinacters.

Hey Weasie, I just found a great group for you.

That site hit the sweet spot, vests! I have to have this one for playing cards:

It will make my poker buddies either nauseous, or dizzy… perfect for bluffing.

I’ve run across a different chapter of that group before, Scubafreak. I admit, their Poetry Corner is something special.

A Weaselette is sneaky and mean.
You must keep her in close quarantine.
Or she slides to the slums and quickly becomes
disorderly, drunk and obscene.

Ahhhhh…poetry!

Ackshly, Weasel that’s exactly what I thought (and I ain’t no engineer).

Do you have anything like Shazam, in the Colonies? It’s a service where you point your mobile (sorry, ‘cell phone’) at a speaker (jukebox, transistor radio, car speaker – they all work), dial a number and a few seconds later they text message you back with the artist and title.

First time I tried it I nearly crapped myself. It’s fast and it’s accurate and can identify even a really obscure song from just a few seconds ‘listening’.

Music’s all patterns… ask Bach.

Oh my gosh! It’s true! He did it! He added sweasel.com to pimpmynews!!! Now I can hear my deathless prose in a creepy robot voice!

You don’t count, Uncle B. Your sort of a Special Needs badger.

Yup, there were LOTS of Weasels at the Catholic Schoolgirl Run. They seem to be irresistably drawn to Alchohol and women in their birthday suits…….

I am laughing myself SILLY listening to pimpmynews. I don’t suppose it’ll be nearly as funny for anyone else, but that’s me talking!

You reckon that’s what I’ll sound like when I’m a brain in a jar and they hook me up to the voicerizer?

John, if you’re still hovering: the biggest flaw I hear is that it seemingly pauses longer between sentences than it does between paragraphs.

🙂 Weasel, maybe because enough of us (like me) went to the site from here, signed up, couldn’t add sweasel.com, and they said, “wot’s this weasel thing?”

I noticed the ads are for urns… of all types.

Well, for that, he gets an icon and a sidebar link 🙂

You know… there are some very interesting things going on with the robotic inflections there. That is a lot closer to a human being than many voice systems.

Of course, it’s nothing like as awful as the screechy-screech-screech weasel voice in all its glass-shattering terribleness.

What? You thought a 6 inch long mustelid had a pleasing contralto?!

B, I’m tempted to think they built it using a library of whole words. Sometimes the inflection makes it sound like that’s what they did, too. But, then, it did pretty good when it hit some of Weasel’s patented making-up-shit words.

(I’ll give you screechy! I’ll make your Skype ‘splode later!)

Hey! I’m using lousy Thinkpad speakers. High-pitched treble is all they do 😉

Oh wow! That Pimpmynews is hillarious! Good stuff Stoaty.

Hi again S.Weasel,

About PimpMyNews.. Glad everyone’s getting a kick out of it – so are we! We can tweak the pauses. It also “learns”, so if you hear words we’re pronouncing incorrectly, shoot ’em to mispronunciations@PimpMyNews.com and we’ll correct them.

If you want to launch your talking page right from your site, just grab your badge: http://www.PimpMyNews.com/Widgets.aspx

By the way, you’re in our “Humor>Other Humor” Category on our categories page.

We love feedback & are constantly enhancing the app. If you sign up you can personalize your account (it’s free).

How does it pronounce ghoti? 🙂

Oh hoooooly shit, Weas. That was HILARIOUS. I started playing Meouch and couldn’t keep it together.

Ok, that I could not have predicted in a jazillion years. (that’s 1.7125e57 years to other geeky engineers).

Weaz – how does it feel to be categorized as “Other Humor”? 🙂

Personally, I’d just pop with pride! Miscellaneous would also be a fairly cool category.

…and an overwhelming silence descended upon the blog as minions awaited new developments. From out of the darkness a plaintive voice bleated, “What is this, this quietness that steals over us?”
“It’s new.”
“Who said that?”, cried the bleater, wide eye darting hither and yon.
“I did.”
“Oh.”
“Hush”, said a third voice.

I was at an airshow. It was awesome, but I’m just back, toasted to a crisp and my everything hurts. Six hours was a bit much.

And I was so ill-prepared. I didn’t even bring a hat, let alone a chair or an umbrella. I bought a hat there. It says “Marines.”

If ever there was anyone who looked NOTHING WHATEVER like a US Marine, it’s this little weasel.

Green screen McCain. Heh.

It must be some kind of new motorcycle run. I headed up to the mountains to check on a few things. There must have been 500-600 motorcycles on the road to the lake. Anyrate, I had loaned my cabin out to the veteran cruisin’ America. It’s here if you want to see it.

http://danielsbigtrip.blogspot.com/2008/06/vegas-baby-yeah.html

Tell me that doesn’t scream Ted Kaczynski. At the bottom of the mountains, down near the lake, is a Post Office… convenient if I ever slip over the edge. 🙂

That cabin is way too nice and neat and clean and spiffy for Ted. His place was a fairly scrubby rathole. There are photos of it on the net somewhere. I’d run a search , but, um, I have a debilitating hangnail.

Well? When you get up tomorrow morning, tell us if you saw any good planes!

I’d rather work where 30 people are retiring, as opposed to the current temp assignment where avg age is 9 (excluding all of those pesky CEO, CFO, CAO, Pres etc). Buncha baby-faced, HS grads w/ the occasional greying-hair in there.

But why can’t you calculate the optimum percentage of white space on a page?

*scratches my forehead with an old slide-rule*

One of the things that really bugs the punk programmers working for me is when I tell them their application screens have too much wasted white space in them, and just look stupid. I don’t have any formula per se, but if it approaches half I make em redo it.

Keep ’em confused, Dave. It’s good for them.
