Do you like your job?

Before complaining about you job think twice. One should bear in mind that there are other people out there, who can be even worse off... like that pitiful guy in the video. Ihonestly feel sorry for him.

And now recall the question from the post title - do you really like your job?

An unmistakable message

This is a picture of a doorplate... was definitely a bachelor's door.
Here is the translation for non German speaking folks:

Please, please,
whatever knocks on my gate,
be a gift of heaven
and be
female, gorgeous and willing.
If it is not the case:
JUST BRING BEER!

I am not feeling anything

Animals are sometime such a great mirror of the human kind...

The new era of laziness

After I've seen this picture on the mobile of a friend I just couldn't deprive the world of it. The cat instantly rocketed to the mascot of the department and introduced an unprecedented level of laziness. It's hilarious how the tom is chilling on the porch.

Robust engineering

Since we were by car manufacturers in the previous posting we would carry on with the topic. The video below was send to me by a friend of mine who lives in Kiev (Ukraine) and showcases a stunt made with LADA - a car that once was the prime example of Russian engineering. Despite not being a cutting-edge-technology any more the car has achieved a cult status...

Applied Marketing

Found that on forum here and decided to share that masterpiece of aggressive marketing with the rest of the world.
All started in 2007 with BMW posting this add in the press


Audi didn't want to be a long time coming and replied swiftly with this add


The whole war would probably go to a natural end with the last add from Audi but there were some other copycats and freeloaders who wanted to ride the advertisement wave. Below are examples from Subaru


and VDub


It would have gone probably for ever like this if there wouldn't have been this add from Bentley. It was senseless to post anything else after that statement :-)


Actually after having taught at the business school I would advocate including this example into the material for business students - funny, beneficial and will definitely get caught in the student's head.

Information scientist's declaration of love

I found this hilarious poem by an accident somewhere on the web. I am sure the techie like reader of this blog will find it amusing (some knowledge of the Russian language assumed). Seat back and enjoy...

Признание в любви программиста

Я Вас люблю, клянусь RESET'ом,
И расскажу я Вам об этом,
Как кибернетик-программист.
Ну всё, я начинаю - LIST.
Ваш интерфейс мне так приятен
И так продуман глубоко,
Интуитивно он понятен,
Общаться с Вами мне легко.
Ваш взгляд сверкает словно сканер;

Вы так прекрасны-нету слов;
Вы мне напомнили Флэш-баннер,
Ну или лучший из GIF'ов.
Как коврик ваша грудь упруга,
Она как "мышь" округлена.
Попробовать хочу подруга,
Как же в руке лежит она.
А ваш живот мне вдруг напомнил
SAMSUNG'а плоский монитор.
Ваш образ душу мне напомнил,
Спалил на кулере мотор.

И моё сердце перегрелось,
Сервачный, словно "Пень-Ксеон",
И часто-часто застучалось,
Как гигагерцевый "Атлон".
Хочу я с Вами слинковаться
По протоколу TCP
И вашим навсегда остаться
И заменить Вам Win XP.
