Targets of Opportunityblog advertising is good for you Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

LOL, one of my favorite short films from Pixar. Nice find.
Pixar always puts out great stuff. Fun to watch.
New training film? I do believe we all have seen the expertise of those types of Individuals.
By the way, Lex, Many thanks for sharing it with us.
As Grumpy as always,

Mucinex Mucous as aliens? Creators must have been on LSD…
Obviously no “zero defect” criterion in that training environment!

ROTFLMAOPIMP!! I even woke up the dog…..”Pinked” for sure….prog ride to follow…
Ditto me there…ROFLMAO…spewed the drink everywhere.
I bought a DVD of all of Pixar’s short films – which also offers commentary on the philosophy behind them – and behind creating them. Short DVD, but worth the money.
The link, it is broke, alas.
The link, it is fixed.
These internets, they are resilient.
The panel filled with unmarked controls caught my eye. Like a giant panel of unmarked and poorly marked circuit breakers. or a huge audio control panel.
That is a great cartoon.
