It's Friday

Thankfully I made it through another week of frantic people, confused coders and generally unqualified people all looking for a "magic button" to press to make their jobs easier. Sadly I have to report that up to now they have all been very slow in learning or even changing their work habits.
I'm talking about making electronic documents accessible, web pages that are filled with tables, graphics and a gazillion spacers just don't cut it. Enlarging font sizes in Word aren't exactly doing much either, just because it is larger doesn't mean its a header.
Some day they'll get it. Probably when they are older and needing binoculars to read a screen, will they finally understand the need to do a little planning.
That's life isn't it? Everyone is resistant to change no matter how small it might be.
On with a different subject, silly and ridiculous news stories.
According to a group in Winnipeg, Manitoba, The Ufology Research group to be exact; 2008 saw a record number of reports of unidentified flying objects.
The Winnipeg-based volunteer group noted 1,004 reported sightings last year - by far the highest number since the group started counting in 1989.
Spokesman Chris Rutkowski says the vast majority of sightings turn out to be airplanes, towers or other known objects, but a few sightings each year are strange and remarkable. He says one of the strangest cases occurred last March, when people in two vehicles saw an object the size of a car float quickly across a highway near Wadena, Saskatchewan.
I think they are all just standing out in the cold without a hat just a bit too much. If you've never been to Winnipeg, don't go, there is absolutely nothing there to see or do; except maybe spot a UFO or two.
