I Am So Outta Here

So that killer job you took with that up-and-coming dot com has turned into a luxury seat on the titanic, and it’s now time to grab a lifeboat off. How about a tool to write & deliver your resignation letter as you’re walking out the door?
It’s a great job you have there. The people you are working with are great & you’re being tossed staggering of money. Unfortunatly, the company is going the way of the Passenger Pigeon, with the stock values dropping into the shitter with a kersplash that even the deaf can’t miss. When you’re faced with the possibility that every morning brings the possibility of the doors being locked, it’s time to bail.
One of the hardest things to do in the world is to write a resignation letter. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get it done automatically? Good news, Bucky! The good folks at dbaseiv.net have set up an engine that will do exactly that. They’ll even deliver it to your soon-to-be former-employers, giving you plenty of time to gather up all your goodies and get the hell out the door. All you need to do is answer a few questions, and you’re on your way to the life of Reilly!

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
