1. Dentist X-Rays - I always used to hate going to the dentist to get X-rays. They make you bite on the most uncomfortable things. This week I got dental x-rays for the first time in like 6 years and found that they have not improved the x-ray process at all. Someone needs to invent a better of way of taking those x-rays.
2. Before pictures: The other day I was pondering about life without cameras and pictures. If you wanted to remember something you had to keep it all in your head and then if you were remembering something and wanted to show someone you ha.
3. People love costumes. Costumes make everything more fun. Santarchy perfect example.
4. Most of us all know how to read and we have been able to read since we were 4ish. Yet when someone says they read books everybody automatically goes "wow they must be smart". If you don't believe me, the next time someone mentions they were reading a book look at people's reaction to the comment.
5. I hate emoticons.
Some rules about emoticons everyone should follow:
A. Only one emoticon should be used if any in an email.
B. During a chat you do not need to use an emoticon unless your emotion is changing. If you already smiling I know that you don't need to smile at me again. If you are frowning then fine frown and.
C. By using an emoticon it does not automatically mean that I need to accept your statement or that your statement is polite. For example: "Can you solve the problem :)" You are still making me solve the problem and you smiling is not helping me solve the problem.

Ponderings 12/5/2010
This week's ponderings brings together Thanksgiving and the beginning of December.
1. Thanksgiving Vacation is a tease for everyone. - I used to thing Thanksgiving break was just a tease for college student because people would get to go home for a weekend and when they come back they would realize they had a couple weeks of hell and finals until winter break. However, the same holds for the corporate world as soon as people come back from Thanksgiving weekend everybody keeps talking about vacation and counting down the days until their planned holiday. My suggestion is move Thanksgiving to October like Canada or move Thanksgiving to the first Thursday of November. Or make Thanksgiving on Decmber 18th and give everybody Dec 18th - Jan 2nd Off.
2. Subway doors: Why don't subway stations and subways have stop requested buttons. I know in most cases every subway stop has people wanting to enter or people wanting to get off but on a lot of late night trains a lot of stops don't have people and the trains unnecessarily stop. Make people request the stop to get off.
3. Whenever driving on hills I always wonder how many accidents happen when people slide slightly down a hill before going forward.
4. What happens to Thanksgiving if Turkeys become an endangered species? How many pounds of Turkey are thrown away each year?
5. If you are only an Internet Company why wait till Cyber Monday to have your best deals?
6. Cell Phone Carriers should advertise in all spots where another network doesn't have service. For example I keep going places where AT&T has no service. Verizon should have big sign there reminding me that Verizon does have coverage there.
7. Ice Skating rings need to put up signs "don't text while skating"
