August 23 Miscellany

► To the best of my knowledge, Enfatico is a consulting agency working mostly for Dell Computers. All I care about is their sharp, simple website, whose design I am currently admiring.
► Journey to the Center of the Earth: Oh, so terrible, but the best unintentionally funny movie I’ve seen in a long time. Also: Brendan Fraser in not one but two tank tops.
► Pineapple Express, however: Surprisingly good, consistently funny, and with only a few totally awkward jokes.
► If you didn’t know the difference between a lexicon and a dictionary, neither did I until last week. A dictionary includes more contextual information, and can include expansive tangents (see Brewer’s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable).
► Yesterday on the phone a customer told me, “I do not give two craps about your company.” Ma’am, in these tough economic times, please limit quantities to one. There is no need to waste.
