Alice in Cyberland

Not really sure how I feel about this.

I just finished the book series a few weeks ago and I was really excited to find out there was a game coming out.. until I investigated the company making it, Little Orbit.

The ONLY games they show on their website as their creations are: Busy Scissors (DS/Wii), Sherlock Holmes (iphone/ipod), and Young Justice: Legacy (Xbox/PS3/DS/Wii) . Busy Scissors was what did it for me, and that 2 of their 3 games are well phone apps / ds games. 

The fact that they have Young Justice coming out in early 2013 on all systems might be good for Mistborn, I will try to hold out for gameplay videos of that before I completely write it off. 

My vision for a Mistborn game was a little more exciting, something the books really deserve. I saw it more as either an Assassin’s Creed/ inFAMOUS type game, with all the jumping from building to building, OR as an MMORPG where you could choose to be a Mistborn, Misting, Koloss, Soldier, or maybe even Terris or Kandra. 

I just really hope they don’t screw this up. 

so on top of the below list of zombie related incidents:

We now have the intestine guy in new jersey:

As well as… DUN DUN DUN!

This lovely gem my boss sent me today:

I’m sure my dear chicken loving bestie will be madly head over  heels for the above story. We’ve needed a good serial psycho to add to everything else that’s been going on.

Apparently we need to have a conversation about the above photo. Granted, that sign is from Australia but it’s the same thing regardless of which way the arrow is pointing or what side of the road you drive on.

That my friends is a sign pointing to an area off the side of the road for polite slower drivers to get the bloody hell out of my way when I’m driving to work. “Slow Vehicle” does not just mean dump trucks, semis, tractors, and the like, it also means the elderly, sunday drivers, 16 year olds that just got their license, vacationers checking out the scenery, or anyone else that insists on driving below the speed limit. 

In other words, if there is a car behind you and you feel it necessary to drive slower than I could walk to work, pull over, that way I can get to work and you can enjoy your panic stricken or leisurely drive through the mountains.

I can see how my second email I may not have explained myself quite as well as I have in the others but still…

I was wondering what the capacity is for your presentation folders.

No, that information is on your website, I’m referring to how thick the folder will go. As in, how thick of paper the folder will hold,  1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, etc.

Which then, of course, prompted this response from Vista Print:

Dear Jessica:

Thanks for contacting Vistaprint, where it’s easy to make an impression for less.

We are happy to provide that information to you.

The folders that we offer has Two 4.5” (height) glued pockets

Base on the size of the Folders, the recommended size paper to be placed inside (8.50” x 10.98”).

Legal paper size (8.5” x 14”) will not fit properly in folder.

We hope this information is helpful.

Please feel free to contact us if you have additional queries.

Thank you for choosing Vistaprint.

Which then, of course, it being Monday, prompted this response from me:

You are a print company this should not be that hard.  I realize that a majority of your customers are soccer moms, retirees and companies that just don’t know any better, but this is still information you should have on file. I need to know the capacity of the folder. Capacity means how much paper the folder will hold. Hence the reason I asked how THICK the folder would go or how THICK of a stack of paper it would hold not if it held 8.5 x 11 paper.

ca·pac·i·ty/kəˈpasitē/

Noun:

1. The maximum amount that something can contain: “seating capacity”.
2. Fully occupying the available area or space: “a capacity crowd”.

 Will it hold a 1/4” stack of paper? Will it hold a 3/8” stack of paper? This is information your company should have on hand.

Brilliant Idea!!

You have just followed me on my personal Twitter, and peaked my curiosity.

This was in an email I received at work today. It reads as a form email and I feel I am doing this poor guy a disservice by not responding and correcting his poor grammar in a letter he is using to promote his company.

The correct term is to say it piqued his curiosity. Food for thought kids. Maybe one of you will use it correctly in the future.
