Gross.

*PUKE* Okay, apparently these “Diva Starz Dolls” are supposed to be this year’s Furby. Whatever. Even though they’ve supposedly created “sporty,” “earthy,” and “tech-y” dolls, they’re still all about clothes (this Press Release actually calls them fashionistas) and hanging out at the “Diva Mall.” I just can’t believe that any professional marketing person could possibly bring themselves to write the headline: “Techno-Interaction Brings a Whole New Meaning to Gabbin’ With Sass-o-matic Looks and Fab-alicious Fun!” Seriously, you guys… Fab-alicious??? I swear, no kid of mine will ever play with this shit.

60%?!

ND had a 60% return on their endowment investment this year??? Good Lord. This article raises two big points for me: A) Where the hell does all this money go? Hey Monk, tell me again about that “financial crisis” you predict for the next few years? and B) We’re making all this money on venture capital???. That thought frightens the hell out of me (and probably every other alum in the IT industry).
