Three Tributes to Bill Gates

Now that Bill Gates is reported to be leaving Microsoft, I thought I would give not one, but three tributes fitting of the occasion.

Gizmodo leaks 2003 memo.

 

Some High Quality Snark

The video: "I'm Voting Republican"



Hat Tip to Famous Like Me.

If snark's your thing, you will be loving life.

 

A Fun Flicker Game

Hat tip to Strange Relationship.

the concept:
1. type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
2. using only the first page of results, pick one image.
3. copy and paste each of the url’s for the images into big huge lab’s mosaic maker to create a mosaic of the picture answers.

the questions:
1. what is your first name?
2. what is your favorite food? right now?
3. what high school did you go to?
4. what is your favorite color?
5. who is your celebrity crush?
6. what is your favorite drink?
7. what is your dream vacation?
8. what is your favorite dessert?
9. what do you want to be when you grow up?
10. what do you love most in life?
11. what is one word that describes you?
12. what is your flickr name?

some blogs are posting their answers to each other questions - i’d rather remain an enigma. i think the mosaic stands on it’s own.

I don't like the meme thing where you arbitrarily assign work to other people. However, I think this is a fun game to play. So, I did. I'm choosing to be all mysterious too.
