Mike’s Hard Lemonade can help you get out of work. After inputting just a minimal amount of work you can have a almost realistic news story explaining why you can’t make it to work.

Here is one video that I did.

You know how stupid bosses are, give it a go.

The greatest book you knew you needed but didn’t know existed,  Cubicle Warfare: 101 Office Traps and Pranks.

First of all, never take this book to work.  They will know it’s you and they will pick up some strategies as counter measures.

Second, space the pranks and torture out over time.  If the hits become too rapid fire they will be on the look out.  You don’t want that.

Or, just before you get fired, or maybe to insure you get fired, pull 25 pranks at once.  Video tape it and you will get paid.

I am a very mild user on Twitter.  I have another account besides the @workcandy. and I use Seesmic and Twhirl to keep up on the web.  On my phone I use Twidroid, which hasn’t been acting well.

15 minutes ago I noticed some extra flair on Twitter.

Power Twitter is right.

Finally they added a URL shortener.  That is the main reason I looked for other Twitter clients.  It was annoying to get on another site, shorten the copied url, copy that, and paste into Twitter.

I don’t know what I think of adding pictures directly in the stream.  It begs for more pictures to be added and for spammers to hock their wares.  Time will tell if photos are good or not.  Eventually, and maybe they have, they might add a “no photo, just link” option in the Twitter stream.

And probably my biggest frustration and the one that creates the Twitter client necessity, RETWEETS!!!  Once again this might be something that gets abused but I love to be Retweeted and love to share with others the cool stuff that is out there.  This is huge.

One a smaller scale, but very helpful, if you roll your mouse over the avatars of people someone is following you will see their latest tweets saving you the time of jumping back and forth trying to find useful people to follow.

Twitter just got really smart and powerful to be sure.  And they will make money.  Just like crack, it’s always free at first.  I think they could add a line with advertising and most wouldn’t notice a week after it started.

Hyundai is helping people who lose their jobs within one year of purchasing a new Hyundai.  Now JetBlue is giving insurance. With the growing number of layoffs companies are learning how to market a scared public.  With all of the bad news hammered into our head every day by the media it is probably a good strategy.

So when a co-worker has the refrigerator door open you are left assuming they are looking for something they own.  You can’t prove they are about to pilfer someone else’s delectables. With this cool, lego-esque stacking refrigerator system everyone can have their own unit.  From Spencer Schimel

I, just by sheer luck, have never done any online dating. I was THIS close once and then found someone. I have to say that online dating scares me and the stories I hear enforce that fear. So keep these commandments in mind while you are browsing dating sites at work.

I have a hard time believing that this watch is as cool as it looks for only $15.89.  OhGizmo! agrees. If you want to give it a shot let me know if it turns your wrist green or breaks in two days.

This is one of those cases where if they were selling the same product for $40 I might be more inclined.  But then again I am a cynical guy and don’t buy anything I haven’t actually seen and touched.

Very clever for a conglomerate like ABC where they have suits decide what is “cool” and that rarely works. They have more cards from Lost, Grey’s Anatomy and Ugly Betty.

Already sent one to my girlfriend. But “Lost” is one of my favorite shows and the “Lost” cards are some of the best.  My other favorite is from Hurley “You Drive Me Crazy.” Classic already.
