Funny Out-Of-Office E-Mail Auto-Reply

braddet — Wed, 14 May 2008 09:31:25 +0000

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

Keep the end in mind

For this mornings quiz, we will be testing your visual cognitive skills. These are probaby the are where I have the ‘least’ intelligence.

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.

I always scored low on these types of test in school. I am not even good at estimating the size of an object let alone try to move it around in my head.

Good Luck !

This is awesome. If you like Star Wars at all. You know you want one of these R2D2 projectors. What a really cool idea ! I only wish I thought of it first.

This is a rendered video by Nikko and I’m not sure that you can actually buy them. It shows “limited edition”

What ever became of the CB Radio?

braddet — Sun, 11 May 2008 15:31:36 +0000

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

Business Interview Test

braddet — Sat, 10 May 2008 18:01:05 +0000

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.

So How do you put a giraffe in the fridge?/P

If browsers were women

Too Funny What is your browser of choice?

If you meet Firefox, it’s all you can think about. She just puts to much stuff in your memory! Even though she may drive you crazy, men find it hard to dump Mrs. Firefox. It’s not because of herself, it’s more because of the stuff she gets from that huge bunch of her admirers. All those gadgets you can use anytime while dating her makes your life so much easier. Oh, if only other women were so open for gifts …

A simple Mistake

braddet — Mon, 05 May 2008 19:15:32 +0000

We all make little mistakes, but sometimes the smallest of these can cost big money. Today’s quiz is about a very small mistake that resulted in millions of dollars. Try the quiz - then reflect on your daily mistakes and the repercussions they may have.

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

BWebCentral Donation Database

braddet — Sun, 04 May 2008 18:15:53 +0000

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.
