Three thoughts that

July 10, 2000 by Michael Boyle

have been coursing through my brain in the last little while:

  • No matter how many Ferrari stickers you put on, no matter how much you tint the windows, no matter how eager you are to blow by the minivans when the light turns green, your Honda Civic will never look like a slick racing car.
  • If you have an annoying song in your head, all you have to do is sing or hum the first few bars of Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire and the other song will be gone. It works astoundingly well. [BTW under no circumstances go to the official Johnny Cash website unless you enjoy inline audio messages every time you load up the index page. This has been a public service message.]
  • I would appreciate it if someone could recommend good flowcharting software that works on Macs. Everything I’ve tried, including Visio under Virtual PC, makes me want to pierce my temple with a Robertson screwdriver.
