Caught this post about Thriving Office at TechCrunch.com. Basically they’re hawking recordings of office noises for small business owners.

Here’s the pitch:

Small businesses know they must seem successful to become successful. So they play Thriving Office while they’re on the phone. This valuable CD is filled with the sounds people expect to hear from an established company, providing instant credibility.

Reminds me of Boiler Room when Ben Affleck gave his big speech to the trainees telling them to “Act As If”. Classic.

This is one of the funniest posts I’ve read in a long time: Fuck Cyclists.

“I hate cyclists. Fuck them. Yeah, screw you and your eco-friendly Lycra spandex tights, your fluorescent jacket, gaudy helmet (which you sometimes choose not to wear), and your dumb shoes. It is not okay for you to ride in front of a line of twelve cars at nine a.m., weaving in and out of your lane and then wobbling through the red traffic light you’ve caused us all to stop at. It is very much not okay to give me a dirty look when I drive my petroleum-guzzling Jeep around you in a valiant attempt to avoid your perilous weaving, wobbling, and queue jumping.”

Nice one Jane
