lunchclock.com - Covertly Extend Your Lunch Hour!
I love this - very nice thought process involved here...

"Lunchclock uses a trivial and hence unpatented chrono-distortion algorithm to calculate how much to speed up or slow down the clock based on the details of your working day and your desired lunch period extension"

Proper use of the Photoshop trademark
Corporate Madness...

The Photoshop trademark must never be used as a common verb or as a noun. The Photoshop trademark should always be capitalized and should never be used in possessive form, or as a slang term. It should be used as an adjective to describe the product, and should never be used in abbreviated form. The following examples illustrate these rules:
Trademarks are not verbs.
CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.

So Melanie , what first attracted you to Billionaire software CEO Larry Ellison ?

Larry Ellison's most important merger / Oracle CEO ties knot with novelist at Woodside estate; Steve Jobs takes wedding photos"Billionaire software CEO Larry Ellison and romance novelist Melanie Craft sealed an eight-year courtship by marrying during the winter holidays, the couple told The Chronicle Tuesday.

The wedding was the first for Craft, 34, and the fourth for Ellison, 59, CEO of Oracle, the world's No. 2 software-maker.

The couple married on Dec. 18 at Ellison's 45-acre Japanese-style compound in Woodside. The ceremony was conducted beside a waterfall by Rep. Tom Lantos, D-San Mateo, a close friend of the couple, and attended by Ellison's best friend, Apple computer co-founder Steve Jobs, and his wife, Laurene. Jobs did double duty as the wedding photographer."

An interesting approach...

A little known online music store is experimenting with a new pricing system in which most songs start out costing a dime, and their prices fluctuate from there based on customer demand.

Monochrom Brandmarker
Very intersting survey into the reality of brand recognition. I think the BP one is particularly interesting, as they have spent a lot of money on rebranding to their new "greener" image, and yet many people seem to still associate the older "classic BP Shield" logo.

Bowie not interested in "honours"
"Bowie said he was not interested in gongs. 'I would never have any intention of accepting anything like that,' he said.
'I seriously don't know what it's for. It's not what I spent my life working for."

Who's in charge of the Internet?
Interesting essay on the control and management (or lack of) of the internet.

Very funny "alternative" London Tube Map tubemap.jpg. I love the stream of conciousness naming of the stations as you follow a tube line along.
