Are you an Asker or a Guesser?

20 Questions

Are you an ASKER or are you a GUESSER

If you’ve ever travelled to Las Vegas (or Biloxi, Atlantic City, Tunica, or any of the many gambling places in between), you should be familiar with the “comp” system.

Everyone knows about the free drinks that casinos give you just for gambling, but many casual gamblers are left wondering how to get more – show tickets, free buffets, limo pickup at the airport, etc.

The obvious answer is that the player simply needs to gamble more money and spend more time in the casino – and eventually, if you’re lucky, a casino host will magically appear at your elbow and offer you anything your heart desires (if only you’ll continue playing those black and purple chips for a few more hours).

But for the casual gamer – someone who bets the red $5 chips carefully and cautiously – getting those extra freebies takes a little more work.

Survey Says: 20% of librarians have gotten it on at work

Librarians Do It Silently
Librarians Do It Silently

One of the oft-cited examples of the stereotypical librarian is to be an old spinster cat-loving lady in an old linty cardigan sweater, with her grey hair all done up in a tight bun and wrinkled eyes hidden behind wire-framed glasses… just sitting around waiting to SHUSH anyone who dared make a noise in the sacred halls of the library, lest any of the dusty tomes be disturbed.

Apparently, this is a misnomer, as LIBRARIANS LIKE TO HAVE SEX AT WORK.

Fashion Police Rule #18: Do not wear flip-flops at work (unless you work at the pool)


Flip Flop
The Flip Flop

Every day, you hear them.

Clippity, cloppity.  Flippity, floppity.

The sound of rubber slapping against the heel of one of your co-workers who feel that flip-flops are perfectly acceptable office wear.

“But we work in a casual office,” they exclaim.  “Joe in Accounting wears shorts every Friday,” they plead. 

Yes, Joe may wear shorts every Friday, but they’re nice shorts paired with a collared shirt and a pair of casual loafers.  He’s dressed to hang out near the beach…not on it.

Remember a few months ago when WEB WATCH told you about ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED, the game where you had to manuever an elephant around a screen full of deadly spikes in order to complete a series of tasks, ultimately fulfilling all of your achievement goals outlined by the game’s creator?

Well, the game author is back with a new creation to drive you batty:  THIS IS THE ONLY LEVEL TOO, a platform game where the premise is basically the same:  you have to move your elephant character around the deadly screen in order to complete the game.

Meet David Rosdeitcher – The Zip Code Man


The Adventures of the ZipCodeMan
The Adventures of the Zip Code Man

David Rosdeitcher has an affinity for numbers, or just a really good memory. He is a street performer from Boulder, Colorado, and his act consists of asking the audience for their zip code.  He then proceeds to tell those people not only what city they’re from, but also about a restaurant or other local point of interest that’s located there.

He’s been called THE ZIP CODE MAN, THE MIGHTY ZIP CODE MAN, and MR ZIP CODE.

As a busker, he earns money based on the tips that people provide from the entertainment he offers.  His pitch line is “give me money, because I know where you live.”  It seems to be effective.

Confirmation that TiVo Doesn’t Hurt TV Advertising


TiVo 4.0 Premiere XL DVR
TiVo Premiere XL DVR

Longtime readers should recall when Web Watch shared TiVo Viewing Statistics that listed what types of programs TiVo users were watching when skipping through commercials.  Those metrics indicated which were the most common shows to be watched live (such as American Idol) vs those shows that viewers would store up on their TiVo to watch later (such as Grey’s Anatomy).

There has been a long-standing debate among broadcasters and advertisers as to whether TiVo, DVRs, and the ability to skip commercials hurts advertising.  The belief was that if the viewer didn’t watch the commercial, then why bother to buy the advertising in the first place?

In the past year, we’ve seen more creative advertising pieces be put together, in an attempt to “TiVo-proof” the commercial.  Some movie trailers, for example, display static content in a black bar above the trailer being played — so even if the commercial is being fast-forwarded through, the viewer can still see the name of the film being advertised.
