Awesome!

Today's Dilbert strip made me laugh out loud:

Love the twin snorks :)

Management often makes themselves easy to lampoon, but still ... Scott Adams somehow always manages to get engineering's perspective across in a way that anyone (in or out of engineering) can understand...

I Certainly Could Do That...

Today's Dilbert strip is one that just about any corporate software developer will find wryly amusing:

My search for relevance marches on...

Amongst Scott Adams many talents is a gift for staying in touch with the geekdom he no longer is immersed in...

Quote of the Day...

From Scott Adams, on today's Dilbert strip:

I am Mordac, the preventer of information services!

In one mordant sentence, a perfect summation of how corporate employees typically view IS (or IT) guys.  Fortunately for our collective sanity, there are exceptions to this (especially for enterprises using this), though even just a few years ago the exceptions were far fewer.  Every IS or IT guy I've ever met is painfully familiar with this stereotypical way of how their fellow employees view them – and how that view has more than a little truth to it.  The best work their butts off to avoid being viewed this way...

Quote of the Day...

Spoken by Dilbert in today's strip:

Do whatever makes you feel less absurd.

Awesome!

Thought of the Day...

From Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert:

When robots become awesome and economical, no one will want to spend time with a smelly, inconvenient, annoying, overpriced human.

Read the whole thing...

Not Quite...

An awesome Dilbert for today:

Dilbert Voices the Secret Thoughts of the Geek...

For any geek working in a company run by non-geeks (decidedly not the case at my employer, ServiceNow – but true of some of my former employers), it's a common occurrence to have some suit ask or tell you to do something utterly stupid – and obvious to any other geek.  If you're interested in keeping your job, you swallow, count to 10, and try to come up with some civil response.  But what you really want to do is this:

Scott Adams (the genius creator of Dilbert) somehow manages to keep nailing the current geek, despite not having worked in industry for decades...

The World According to Dilbert...

Scott Adams knows the world of engineering very well:

Awesome Dilbert...

That “Oh, right.” is just perfect...

Perfect...

Today's Dilbert cartoon perfectly captures the way a non-technical boss can leave a technical subordinate totally without words...

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Scott Adams, a free-weight rack that arrived disassembled, a visit to Home Depot, and a Shop-Vac.  What could possibly go wrong?

Cartoon of the Day...

You had me at “carcass.” Har!

Dilbert Blog

Scott Adams (the creator of Dilbert, every nerd’s favorite cartoon) has started a blog. Naturally it’s called the “Dilbert Blog”.

His latest post is a ponder on how one would go about being a good looter (one hopes this is with tongue firmly in cheek). He describes his plan and then says:

There’s a good chance I’d be killed by the hurricane before I did any quality looting, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take for free pants that aren’t my size.

Are you laughing? If not, you’re just not a Dilbert kind of person. My personal research tells me that there is a strict dichotomy when it comes to appreciating Scott Adams' humor.

Me? I was ROFL (rolling on the floor, laughing)!
