If you are like me, and you’re not face it, you spend a lot of time in front of your computer with your Instant Messenger client of choice distracting you on a regular basis. Often in my haste to please an IM buddy I’ll quickly type something and I’ve noticed that I make some funny typo’s. So, I’ve amassed them in a brief list. Feel free to add more in the comments section.

• fort = for - this is typically the result of a fat finger
• ti’s = it’s - not an ode to Frank McCourt
• dong = doing
• abou tit = about it
• noi = no i
• meat = me at
• pees = peace
• lame = my wife’s cat

Incidentally, any 10.5 users using Spaces frustrated by iChat’s hostile take over of your machine upon a new chat? Do. Not. Want!

from a chat with !jon today.

For those of you that don’t know – and if you don’t it means you don’t watch the Today show – Windows Vista came out on Tuesday.

In an effort to reach those whose souls have been enlightened by the “Get a Mac” ads M$ released a pretty funny viral, soft sell marketing campaign. Demetri Martin, a very funny comic and host of Trendspotting on the Daily Show, was tapped for the main role in this campaign.

I am still a loyal Mac user, but am willing to give credit where credit is due. Check it here (clearification.com). Pretty pretty pretty pr-et-ty clever!

I would also like to learn how to control my glands.

I would like to completely redo my schooling from K through 12. I’m pretty sure that, at least through 6th grade, I would not only do better, but also rock everyones world!

Kindergarten would be sweet for one reason and one reason only: nap time! The acceptibility of being able to wet my pants in public is merely a perk. Furthermore, I know – I KNOW – I would do better at pronouncing my “D” sounds this time around. Not to mention I would be able to use words like “furthermore” to impress my teacher and drive home the fact that all my classmates really are stupid.

Other words I will use during my redo: perfunctory, abolish, onomasiological, brachiocephalic, fynbos, lobule, nilgai, and the phrase shut up. When the teacher tells me I’m wrong – which I won’t be – I’ll just tell her to shut up. What’s she going to do about it? I’m 30! And when the other kids ask what those words mean I’ll answer with “A word looked up is a word remembered.”
