me: “ummm there is a show on TLC about people who do weird things…this one lady eats her couch”
her: *laughs* “what?”
me: “there is a show where this lady eats the stuffing from her couch!”
her: “that’s just too good to be true! does she take it piece by piece from the couch like popcorn and munch on it ..or does she actually gnaw on the sofa? does she bite into the sofa?”

iPhone app lets you get away with napping at work | VentureBeat

A new iPhone app lets you nap at work in your cubicle without fear of being caught.

The iNap@Work app makes office-like “productivity noises” so that your co-workers will hear a constant din of activity coming from your space. Even though you may be snoring, your workers will hear sounds like typing, mouse clicks, flipping through papers, stapling, and human sounds such as clearing your throat.

All you do is adjust the settings on the iPhone touch screen to pick the sounds you want to simulate. You can adjust the frequency of sounds to simulate either a light or a hectic work day. You then click on the Start to begin your nap time and Stop when you want to do some real work.

Dinah Lohan : Doesn’t Quite Get the 140 Character Limit on Twitter

Check out her Twitter site: Twitter / dinalohan. Every one of her posts ends in mid thought. Maybe someone should tell her the whole idea is to get the point across in 140 characters or less… maybe not.

UPDATE:

Several people on twitter (including myself) have tried to explain to Dinah that there is a 140 character limit…and she seemed to get it ..kinda..by the looks of the post below…but it doesn’t appear to have made a difference.

“i have heard from some people like @wendywings that tech support is not censoring me there is a “limit” well how come i type more but when iabout 2 hours ago from web”
