Duct Tape Prom Wear
Everyone loves duct tape, but by when I realized that there is a national contest to decide which couple can make the best Senior prom dress and tux out of this magical adhesive, I quickly realized that some love it a great deal more than others!
This morning I heard a radio story about Cassandra Openshaw and Nick Carber, students at Narraguagus High School in Milbridge Maine who used used 45 rolls and 9 different colors of Duct Tape to make the attire for their tropical theme prom… And I thought the guy I saw selling duct tape wallets was cool!
Later I read about the “Stuck At Prom” contest that awards $6,000 in scholarship money to the couple with the most creative and original duct tape prom cloths. Past winners can be seen here.
Microsoft CEO Vows to “Kill Google”
Microsoft loves to stage hostile takeovers of competing companies and hire their best employees away from them, but apparently the sfotware giant just can’t take it when it happens to them.
We all remember the temper tantrum Microsoft threw when a senior executive named Kai-Fu Lee left the company to work for Google in July. Microsoft claimed Lee’s jump to Google was in violation of a one-year noncompete agreement and proceeded to file a suit against Google for hiring him.
If this was a public display of childish behavior on Microsoft’s part, it would soon come out that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer’s private reactions to top employees leaving the company can be down right infantile.
In a sworn statement made public Friday, Mark Lucovsky, another Microsoft senior engineer who left for Google in November 2004, gave a disturbing account of Ballmer’s reaction to news that the would be leaving.
“At some point in the conversation, Mr. Ballmer said: ‘Just tell me it’s not Google,’” Lucovosky indicated that, indeed, he would be working for Google
“At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office,” He then flew into a rage of anger and expletives about Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
“I’m going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to f***ing kill Google.”
Steve Ballmer is no stranger to stomping around and acting stupid. As we can see in his Monkey Dance Video, this is clearly a guy with some issues to work out! I, for one, have to ask the question… With him looking to “Kill Google” and “bury” Eric Schmidt Is Steve Ballmer a terrorist like Pat Robertson?
