On NYC taxi algorithms

Optimization:
In a taxi, the route that
Gets me there fastest.

Contrary driver
Instead seeks routes with most tolls.
No tip for you, sir.

Sigh

Question of my life:
How long have I not noticed
That my fly is down?

On overly friendly dancers

My old assumption:
one party should not inspire
Facebook Friend requests.

Newly discovered:
one good dance two states distant -
even less basis.

I used to roll my eyes when someone added me as a facebook friend after meeting me once at a party. This weekend I encountered an even more extreme epidemic... dancers who you danced one or two songs with at an exchange flocking to your profile in droves. Don't get me wrong - I love great dancers, and I love having dancing contacts in different cities, but how am I supposed to keep track of all these people!?

On more important things

Today's top story:
Gubernatorial Sex.
Tabloid news at best.

Foget about the Iranian election, the DC train collision, Guantanamo Bay, or - god forbid - the fly that Obama killed. Nothing whets the appetites of Americans like a good political sex scandal!

On superfluous mailings

Email: Save ten bucks!
Sent to old customer list?
I already haz!


My third email this week telling me about a sale on software I already purchased! I do not understand the point!

On Every Developer In This Building

"Item solved!" I read!
I build, I test, I epic-fail.
CHECK IN YOUR DAMN CHANGE.




(I have only been in the building for two hours. How is it that I've had problems with five different developers' code so far?)

When clients run out of money

Abrupt project halt –
Unceremoniously
Kicked onto the bench.

Studying for tests,
I find myself inclined to
Compose this haiku:

Bored bored bored bored bored.
Bored bored bored bored bored board board?.
Bored bored bored bored bored.
