On the Bonus Round on today's Wheel of Fortune, the puzzle was "Precious Cargo." The winner's name was Precious.

OMG, have you seen the interview of Maurice Sendak by Stephen Colbert? Comedy gold! (I had no idea Sendak was gay....)

Both parts can be found here.

In email "Reply All" is the greatest peril. The second greatest peril is pre-defined distribution lists with similar names.

A coworker just sent an email to the wrong distribution list that is so embarrassing that I want to book a flight to Delaware and give her a hug. And I don't hug people.

Fortunately it wasn't personal but she kind of just shot apart months of delicate enterprise wide (and that's pretty darn wide around here) negotiations on how to complete a project.

There's the saying that in politics a gaffe is unintentionally speaking the truth. She made that kind of gaffe, hopefully she doesn't get in any real trouble beyond the embarrassment since she didn't say anything wrong (or call anybody names).

It's weird when a family member dies that you are friends with on Facebook. At the most random time, their Facebook photo shows up in other places not on facebook (such as suggesting Pinterest to friends) and suddenly you're sitting there crying without warning.

I'm not going to unfriend her. I'm not the person who would memorialize her account and I'm not sure if the person that would do that would want to anyway.

I see her friends and wonder if they know or if some of them are internet friends and have no idea. The old photos and old status updates make it seem so unreal.

This is why I plan to write down all of my online info, so that my family can get into my accounts and let all of my online friends know of my passing, then close my accounts (that can be closed).

I died back in November. No one has noticed yet.

I've been managing the accounts of my deceased parents, using it as a way to share family photos and memories. I also periodically leave messages for people who have passed - which I suppose is the electronic equivalent of talking to people at their grave sites. The Internet just makes the exchange more convenient. I write dead people.

I hadn't thought of that aspect of it. Kind of like it.

I just assumed that was your usual smell.
