Oh... this is awesome. Office romance.

I kind of wished we had this at our work, I mean, our company do have some crazy parties.  This is probably one of the funniest "faux" documentaries I have seen. 

Check out this love story.

The story is even recorded in a trilogy.

Tesla Model R. Pretty.

Wow.  The new convertible will be modeled after the platform of the upcoming Model S and looks like a a sexier version of a Jaguar or Aston Martin convertible.  Entry/exit will also be much more convenient.

I wonder how much this car will cost...


There is always one in every office.

Trust is a key component of any successful company or team, and it only takes one problem employee to kill the atmosphere.

This will naturally lead to decreased productivity over time. Snitching is also bad for employee morale and camaraderie; who wants to be friendly with people that might stab you in the back?

Besides creating an overall dysfunctional workplace, tattletales can also lead to increased employee turnover, costing a business the time and money it takes to recruit new hires.

Below is a good resource on how to both identify those individuals as well as how to deal with them in the workforce.  I learned a couple things after reading the article, and definitely need to think twice next time I'm tempted to fight "fire with fire" or loose my temper from their actions.

Facebook Privacy

I just found out that my work has the ability to track what I post on Facebook, even though I have my Facebook privacy pretty much on lock down.  The post I made about the company was fortunately innocuous but a report was generated nevertheless.

It is scary to think that Facebook may be offering unlimited/unfiltered access to their corporate accounts for employers to spy on employees.  If that is true, our privacy settings doesn't really mean much, does it?

Something to remember next time you post/share on FB, huh?

Weight loss with Vitamin Water?

"The truth is that when it comes to weight loss, what you drink may be even more important than what you eat. Americans now get nearly 25 percent of their calories from liquids. In 2009, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health published a report in theAmerican Journal of Clinical Nutrition, finding that the quickest and most reliable way to lose weight is to cut down on liquid calorie consumption. And the best way to do that is to reduce or eliminate beverages that contain added sugar."

Very trippy music video

I wonder if it was drawn frame by frame or done with a graphics program.

To people who text while driving

"Honk if you love Jesus, text while driving if you want to meet him"
