Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

A momentary gripe

Thursday, October 20, 2005

Microsoft Product Activation has successfully wasted yet another half-hour of my life. I hate voice recognition systems, especially when you have to read a 48-digit code to a computer. It's even worse when you KNOW it won't go through successfully and you need to talk to a human being, because you still have to go through the voice-recognition before it'll let you talk to an actual person.

I want that part of my life back. Sigh...
