In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

Yahoo counted me as a "cool person" from 1997-2001. How far have I fallen?!

August 19, 2001 The Price of Sitting on Aeron
When we were all congregated at Camille's wedding this weekend in Seattle, Steve told us that he actually *attended* the Scour auction last week where all the office furniture and equipment we had used while working there was sold off. I always knew that Steve had an odd fixation with the morbid and bizarre... Among the items to be auctioned off he noticed Selena's monitor -- still covered in Power Puff Girls stickers. Sounded kinda sad. Of course, there were at least fifty Aeron chairs being auctioned off.

When we worked at Scour I never realized my ass was sitting on a $700 chair. I actually find them to be less comfortable than regular old Office Max chairs, but then again -- I probably had mine all adjusted wrong. (A few months back the ergonomics lady at Microsoft told me that my desk was 12 inches too high for me...)
