“When 1 + 1 = 3″
Deep inside the headquarters of the American Marketing Associations exists an exact replica of the Wheel of Fortune set. However, there is one key difference: the giant wheel is marked not with dollar amounts or “Win a free cruise.” Instead, it is divided into labels like “synergy,” “results-driven,” “core competency,” […]

I wonder if Richard Meier or <insert any jargtastically-aware architect here> appreciates the term “architect” thrown around as a verb. I mean, does he realize that a bunch of marketing 3.0ers (to use Tim’s term) are bastardizing the honorable title of “architect” as they refer to producing their own – ahem – creative works? Somehow […]

“‘Dry Martini?’ Sweet”, I thought to myself-”maybe there’s a new day dawning, where tech-speak enters a more user-friendly, accessible and dare I say, hip, age? ‘Dry Martini’ is the name of a virtual private network?

Just when I thought we were getting a lull in the written diarrhea dump of “2.0″ references I received the mother of all TwoDotOh emails. Five - yes, count em, five - references to “2.0″ in one email. My favorite is the new to me “Government 2.0″, followed by the innovative “The Next Generation” attention […]

Definition: Who the hell knows?
After a rough round of penetration testing, IT has left me feeling like I need to sanitize my user input. Check out the excerpt below from an IT email.
Thank Gawd for IT, though. If it wasn’t for their emails and conference calls, I would never be motivated to write new blog […]

I love this one. Using an approach that will most likely lead to success? I mean, how novel!
Personally, I’ve adopted an appear to look busy approach. It makes me look good to the bosses and before they realize the mistake in […]

For What It’s Worth
For the love of jeebus, can we come up with any more acronyms? It took me one second longer to type out “For what its worth” than it did to type out FWIW. It took way longer to Google FWIW. One guess which department sent an email with this gem. If you […]

Today is a sad day. This is what’s become of literature originally designed to inform and instruct:
In this case, the PBEB-A encapsulates S-VID 100 traffic by adding a B-DA value of PBEB-D, a B-SA value of PBEB-A, a B-VID value of 4001 (primary or purple tunnel), and the I-SID value of 10000. This MAC header […]

Nerd herd (noun)
A term used primarily by marketing executives to describe anyone not in a marketing role. It is usually applied to those in IT or engineering jobs.

I just received my 10am meeting reminder and pissed my pants when I read the title of the meeting, “DR Filer Capabilties Level Setting”. What the F? How dare you? I feel violated for having to attend in the first place. However, I am impressed with his jargtastic capabilities.
UPDATE NOW THAT THE MEETING IS DONE:
