Came across this on YouTube.. I wonder if there’s a Plurk song out there..

Cats generally have little tolerance for technology. So remember to keep your kittys away from your gadgets!

A colleague of mine forwarded this to me yesterday.. it’s simply HILARIOUS!!!

New  employee

You are listening to Stevie  Wonder
(It’s your first day at work and all is fine and  great)

After 3  months

You are listening to HOUSE music
(because you are so busy that you’re not sure if you’re  coming or going)

After 6  months…

You are listening to Heavy Metal
(your days start at 0800 and end at 2000)

After 9 months…

You are listening to Hip Hop
(You become  fat due to stress and now you suffer from constipation)

After a year…

You are listening to GANGSTA RAP
(Your  eyes start to twitch, you forget what a ‘good hair day’ feels like  as you fall out of bed and live on caffeine!!)

And finally, after a second  year…

You are listening to Techno
and have gone  a bit… well… crazy!

I rarely post twice within the same day, but over the weekend the inspiration for this post just started to surface itself. I felt I had to somehow document the effect one priest half the world away from me had on my life. And then perhaps, I shall come to a conclusion of ALL that is happening. *evil grin*

In 2005, Father Roderick Vonhögen started the Catholic Insider podcast. That triggered an avalanche of podcasts with Catholic content, by Catholics, for Catholics. SQPN was founded soon after, and before one can say “SQPN, the BEST in Catholic New Media“, most of all our favorite Catholic podcasts were rounded up and have become part of the ever-growing SQPN family.

Then sometime last year, the “Rod Father” introduced us to the world of Twitter. Before one can count the number of wonderful podcasts featured on the SQPN website, almost all of SQPN fan community were tweet tweet Twittering away. I joined Twitter too, almost immediately after hearing Father Roderick talk about it on the Daily Breakfast. It was a calling I could not resist.

Next Father Roderick convinced us to embrace Facebook. I tried to resist, having heard unpleasant stuff about other social websites like MySpace, but resistance was futile. Before I knew it, all the friends I made on Twitter were on Facebook too! I had to go, I HAD.. to.. BELONG!

Father Roderick also taught us to uStream. His “live” stream has made most of us captives, including me. We were addicted. We threw away out TV sets and started to embrace our computer monitors, our eyes glued to video stream of our favorite podcasters.

Just when we were all content with following each other on Twitter and playing Scrabulous on Facebook. Father Roderick taught us the ways of FriendFeed. Almost all of us, including myself, swarmed over and started an account and added everybody we knew.

Less than a week later, Father Roderick invited us to Plurk. Now ALL of us are addicted to Plurk. At least I am. Even the most resistant among us have succumbed, one by one.

Meanwhile, Father Roderick continues to experiment with new Web 2.0 tools like Ping.fm, Last.fm, Britekite, etc. And just like the little children following the Pied Piper’s pipe, we all followed with reckless abandon.

The conclusion is obvious. Father Roderick may not be just the simple priest as he claims himself to be. He is.. the Pied Piper of the Web 2.0 era!

A friend of mine forwarded this joke to me via email. I had a good laugh out of it, so I thought I’ll share with all of you as well. Enjoy!

COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks. I’m setting up an office in my den and I’m thinking about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name’s Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don’t own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name’s Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don’t know. What will I see when I look in the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What have you got?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
ABBOTT: I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, lets just say I’m sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue ‘W’.
COSTELLO: I’m going to click your blue ‘w’ if you don’t start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?
ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.
COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need!
ABBOTT: Real One.
COSTELLO: If it’s a long movie I also want to see reel 2, 3 & 4. Can I watch them?
ABBOTT: Of course.
COSTELLO: Great! With what?
ABBOTT: Real One.
COSTELLO: OK, I’m at my computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do?
ABBOTT: You click the blue ’1″.
COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?
ABBOTT: The blue ’1″.
COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w?
ABBOTT: The blue ’1″ is Real One and the blue ‘W’ is Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: But there’s three words in ‘office for windows’
ABBOTT: No, just one. But it’s the most popular Word in the world.
COSTELLO: It is?
ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren’t many other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there.
COSTELLO: And that word is real one?
ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn’t even part of Office.
COSTELLO: STOP! Don’t start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That’s right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What’s bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn’t it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

A FEW DAYS LATER . . .

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on ‘START’…….
