CollegeHumor video: This is something only college students would do... except me. I was too busy... and had few friends.

Tickle-Me Elmo... Revamped

Oh my gosh, I died laughing... DIED!

When You Can't Stop Laughing....

Oh, how I love German women... Two of my good friends are German women, and one of my best friends is a Brit-Germ.

Anyway, one of the comments to the video included a translation, in case you're curious, so here it is...

"Good morning! Slowly but surely fall is coming. Our...ohh! That wasn't bad either! hihhi...well,.. the late summer anticyclone...[laugh]...sorry...is slowly moving east...and this Biscay current...[laugh]...sorry, it's a bit early in the morning! Well, this Biscay current brought heavy storms... [laugh]... sorry!... in France... and is now moving towards the western Alps, and...[laugh]...sorry...!
[laugh]...Let's move on to the weather charts otherwise it's getting too late! Ok, the early temperatures are between *gulp* 10-16 degrees - in the low mountain range in the one-digit range. In the north and in the south...[laugh]"

I wish I knew more German that I could actually clean this up some more.

"Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group installs Datavision Business Intelligence System Worldwide"

Hospitality Net - Industry News: "Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group installs Datavision Business Intelligence System Worldwide ... to consolidate information from PMS, POS, Spa, Sales & Catering and Back Office at each Mandarin Oriental hotel..."

I'm only posting this because as I read this article, I was thinking, "What Mandarin Oriental sneezes out, KOR will catch." It's been the case for about a year until when I'd gone, as a number of the personnel are either from Mandarin Oriental or Ritz-Carlton. Further solidifying this is that Datavision is based in Miami.

I'll have to tell the Sales Department to keep me posted on this one.

FREE Technolgy or Bust

The Hotel Show - News & Updates: "Hotels charging guests to use Internet and failing to provide access for iPods could lose out, says The Hotel Show Seven Star conference moderator"

So basically, we'd all better shape up. Marriott has already begun to embrace this and other concepts like organic liquour, but who knows when it will all end. In the future, it might not be such an issue to get these things done.

Some More News Bloopers

Next on the blooper/news-related post: bloopers! One of them you might not be sure if you want to laugh, because it's slightly awkward.
