Out of Office auto-replies can be great when you are on vacation, and you want to let others know you won’t be checking your email.
Here 10 great Out of Office autoreplies you should consider the next time you are heading out on vacation (If you have the guts that is)
1. I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. Be prepared for my mood.
2. You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn’t have received anything at all.
3. Sorry to have missed you but I am at the doctors having my brain removed so that I may be promoted to management
4. I will be unable to delete all the unread, worthless emails you send me until I return from vacation on 4/18. Please be patient and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received. /P

To complete this quiz, you have to be able to construct the various shapes and move them around in your head to try to find out the right solution.

In this weeks podlet, I talk about the old CB Radio. Perhaps you’ve had one of these yourself? We used to have one setup at our house, but there was never anything interesting on the channels.
Back in the day, it was fun to just open a channel and chat about whatever you wanted on the citizens band. Of course now with the internet, we live in a much different world, but CB Radio died out long before the internet, what caused this? Will this happen to user generated online content someday as well? Hmm…/P
This one is a classic “Giraffe Test”, reportly done by Anderson Consulting.
The rumor is they said around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting reportedly said this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

A new ship had just been constructed, and everything had pretty much gone to plan.
However, near the end of the production, someone spotted that one of the lettters on the small sign displaying the ship’s name had been put on back to front.
As a result, tens of millins of US dollars had to be spent to correct the error.
Today’s brain warm up… How could such a small mistake cost so much money? /P
Sometimes I get up to 50 calls a day from various charities all hoping a could spare a few bucks. While I am a big believer in giving, it can be hard to donate ‘on the spot’. There are so many worthwhile organizations, how can I keep track of them all and afford to support them all?
So I created the donation database to help. A simple list of organizations that I can visit on a frequent basis and give - on my own time in the comfort of my own home - online.
Anyone can add their favorite cause to my database, and anyone can visit it follow the links and Please Give and help make our world a better place.
I have been waiting to finish this project for some time. I have finally released my first beta version of the donation database.
