Well, good thing I’m not! I took this Asshole Rating Self-Exam test online and came up with a score of 3.  As funny as this test sounds, I think most companies should encourage all their staff to take this test yearly. It makes you think about how you behave and how people might perceive you to be an Asshole!

Pulled up this images from Wikipedia. It’s the human Circadian rhythm.

Looks like the best time to work is around 10am in the morning and then between 2pm to 4pm. So probably about 4 hours a day. So now all your slackers who keep getting caught “wasting time” on Facebook and Youtube at the office have a valid scientific reasoning.

This is a cool recording of the string oscillations from inside a guitar. Will try this on Ro’s guitar sometime this week.

I wonder if we can record a similar oscillation effect from a piano. There would be a lot more strings involved.

I came across this link with some interesting info on beards.

So, what is your preference when it comes to facial hair…

1) The jungle of beard covering my face man

2) The baby face everyday clean shaven guy

3) The well trimmed and styled piece of beard somewhere on my face dude

4) I’ll shave once or twice a week (if I’m in the mood) fellow – BTW, this is me

We all know that sitting at a 135 degree angle is the best position since it relieves the stress on your back.

Well it seems that sitting more than 6 hours a day makes you 40% more likelier to die within 15 years than others who sit less than 3. Even if you exercise! This is the best reason I can find to avoid the daily long and boring meetings.

So stand up and continue reading at this link.

I came across this very interesting “Insights for Audience” section on YouTube.

Basically it’s an interactive dashboard where you can query on gender, age, location and interests and then interactively drill down and play with the data. Very cool indeed. I guess its always good to know what other people like you are looking for on the net.

Too bad they don’t have any Middle East countries to query on. Or maybe they don’t have a good audience here since YouTube is banned in most offices …just like mine.

I found this video on YouTube. Reminds me of the Jetsons. This is travel in 2121. I think most of this is possible in the next 5-10 years. Well almost at least, I doubt the bit with the Martians will happen anytime soon.

Yes, you read that sign correctly. “Poo Paper Sold Here”. And you thought you were saving trees by not using paper!

Think again. The paper you are using could have started out as elephant poo.  All the more reason to go digital and save paper.

I caught that sign while visiting the elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka. I though it was a joke at first. But its for real and there is no shortage of elephant poo over there. They can collect tons of poo every day from this small herd of about 50-60 elephants.

I just could not stop laughing after watching this video.

Either this guy was pissed with people taking his parking spot or it was “bring your washing machine to work” day.
