Happy Birthday OOK Incorporated

My company, OOK Incorporated, is 3 today!

I bootstrap the crap out of it; it’s the only way I think. Throwing money at something seldom makes it better, necessity is the mother and all that. That’s why I’m always wary when someone hands me a business card but has no elevator pitch … that’s $30 you could have left in the bank, earning interest, la la la.

OOK’s first financial transaction was writing a cheque to charity, because one of my favourite sayings is, “start as you mean to go on”. The sun came out strong the exact second I typed that.

The goal is a third / third / third…. that’s taxes / me / charity… to divide up earnings.

Anyway, I’m rambling becasue I’m like a proud parent here, and I’ll leave you with this…

OOK —–> oh oh kay, all capitals, it’s an acronym for … wait for it …

Order Of Keri.

I know.

Happy Skynet Becomes Self-Aware Day

In Terminator movies, the military created Skynet, an artificial intelligence which becomes self-aware today, April 19 2011 at 8:11pm / 20:11.

Then it turns against the humans… carnage, mayhem etc.

The below made me literally LOL today (this Skynet thing was trending on Twitter earlier , it’s not that weird)

A few weeks back, @SkyNetOperative started following me on Twitter.  Today we engaged in a back and forth.

This is its bio (the code basically means its watching the internet, and saving it all for future use)

So I said I dropped into its computer, and took ownership of its accounts and information.

It came back with uh-huh, I just kicked you off the server, undid your changes and copied your hard drive to a USB key.

Note it knows what kind of computer I’m on.

I replied by making it its own account.
