Work email May 24, 2007
I think it's at least mildly funny that I pay exactly zero dollars and zero cents ($0.00) for my web-based email and I get something close to 100% uptime and reliability, while my employer pays a ton of money to buy expensive equipment and employ countless people to monitor and upgrade it, thus causing constant downtime and pitiful reliability.  This is not to mention the utter inaccessibility of my work email in the name of security and the almost laughable amount of storage space (50MB).  It ain't quite right. #technology
World innovation May 24, 2007
Similar to world fatness, here are some rankings for world innovation based on number of patents, technical skills of a country's workforce, and the quality of its telecommunications and information technology infrastructure. 
  1. Japan
  2. Switzerland
  3. U.S.
  4. Sweden
  5. Finland
  6. Germany
  7. Denmark
  8. Taiwan
  9. Netherlands
  10. Israel
  11. Austria
  12. France
  13. Canada
  14. Belgium
  15. South Korea
Of these 15 countries, only 3 (Switzerland, Taiwan, and Israel) aren't among the top 27 fattest countries in the world.  The obvious conclusion:  Innovation breeds obesity. #technology
