The manufacturer of popular nighttime sleep aid Lunesta is introducing a new pill to help people with insomnia due to Pinterest addiction get to sleep at night. The new product, called Uninteresta, works by deactivating the part of your brain that forces you to incessantly post about craft projects you will never even attempt.
I like verbose code for maximum readability and because it tends to be self-documenting. But I do occasionally have fun with it, if only to stay sane during long days of being immersed in nothing but code and with no human interaction. I’ve been known to write the occasional rhyme, or irrelevant comment, such as this one I just inserted into a class I’m coding:
catch (Exception ex)
{
// save the cheerleader, save the world
}
Here is a secret I’ve been keeping for years but now I’ll share it with Pinterest. The trick to keeping your ketchup bottle cap clean and white is… rinse it off before you put it away after use!
While discussing finding a way to quantify a change I made to one of my projects I was able to slip in, “it would be like trying to figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.”
I quit FourSquare because the only practical application I found for it was to remind myself I shouldn’t eat at Applebee’s, if I ever check in there.
Well we’re a quarter into 2012 and at the three-month point, I feel satisfied that I’ve accomplished all the goals I’ve set out for that time. Now for the second quarter of the year, I’ll be focusing on a new set, which includes writing (here, elsewhere, and a fiction novel) and other creative projects. It’s going to be a fun period!
