AP - Calling all metrosexuals: Get rid of that bling-bling — or at least find another word for it. In its annual compilation of language irritants, Lake Superior State University singled out 17 words and phrases that it says ought to be banned as overused, trite, euphemistic or just plain inaccurate. The 2004 losers were chosen by a university committee from more than 5,000 nominations from around the world.

Banished from the American dream


Banished from the American dream 04/26/2004 07:31 AM
The Kesbehs were a hardworking immigrant family with a successful business and deep roots in Houston. But after 9/11, the U.S. kicked them, along with thousands of other Arab and Muslim families, out of the country. Now, in a land the children barely know, they wonder why their life has been shattered.

From Wish List to Check List: Customer
Input Drives Microsoft Office OneNote
2003 Service Pack 1
04/20/2004 11:26 PM
In an academic setting, a score of 90 percent earns an automatic "A". By that measure, the team shaping Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 merits a similar high passing grade. When the innovative application debuted last October, it reflected the pioneering edge of the digital note-taking category. Today, Microsoft honed that edge by announcing the preview release of Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 Service Pack 1 (OneNote SP1). Ninety percent of the features included in the software update are a direct result of customer input and feedback -- with the remaining 10 percent coming from indirect customer feedback.

A Few Words About The War


A Few Words About The War 03/21/2003 12:30 PM

For the past few days my TV has been fixed on CNN. I've been riveted to their coverage of this second war in the Persian Gulf, which is simultaneously complete and noble. I find myself continually having to keep in mind that this is a war. Bitter reminders are around every corner, however. At this hour thirteen coalition soldeiers, eight U.K. and five American, have lost their lives both in combat and accidents.

In my, ironically, U.S. History class this morning, I saw a girl near me holding a picture of some young man in military garb, and a set of dog tags, presumably his. Godspeed to him and all his brothers and sisters in combat in the Persian Gulf.

Here's a new addition to the IT dictionary:

laptop ballet: the movements made by a person hurrying to a meeting, when he realizes he does not know where this meeting takes place, and that information is only in the email, but he is too busy or lacking a suitable place to sit down, so he ends up running down the hallway, balancing the laptop with one hand, and using the computer with the other.

Sometimes you also see this being performed with PDAs and cell phones, but these are nowhere as spectacular as the full 3 kg IBM Thinkpad version, performed in a narrow corridor in sync with 20 other people.
