3 Quick, Random Thoughts

1. Robots: Have you ever noticed that when you tell someone to act like a robot, they instantly straighten their backs and align their shoulders. It's sad that a defining attribute which sets us apart from machines is posture.

2. "Look Mom! I'm on TV": A very common occurrence in the field of live broadcast journalism is the appearance of one to several annoying people who like to stand behind a reporter while making faces or loud noises during a live news story. Though their annoying antics get a laugh out of most people, I find it more funny when they are finished with their 15 seconds of fame. Watch any video with these people and notice as they walk off, they make a face that says, "Oh man, that wasn't as funny as I thought it was going to be. I'll just keep a small smirk on my face as I walk off and try to find someone I know so we can leave."

3. The Open Door Jog: This is fun to do; When you walk into a building, look behind you and see if there is someone for whom you can keep the door held open. If there is, that's great. If there's not, just go in. However, if you see someone off in the distance, just wait with the door open while looking at them. They'll see you and do this really funny jog to the door. They'll never run fast because that would be over doing it. They'll never do a brisk walk because that wouldn't be fast enough. They'll always jog. Try it. It's really funny.
