I’m not really one for poetry but came across some that I quite liked. Any more of your own… you’re welcome to post it here (even in HTML if you like).
One was in a comment that someone had left on Nipun’s site on the day he was about to leave for his trip to India. [ I'm wondering how many readers of his site had ever noticed it...

This link just happened to come up in a google ad… just bookmarking it for reading some other day – the first page seemed to be interesting…
This is from a colleague (with minor editing), she’ll be able to keep track of any responses here…

I’m a tennis non-fan, i.e. in general I enjoy watching tennis but its somewhere in #7800231 in my list of priorities… Still, loved this really cool article Winning by Scott Adams.

When another IT company bus passed me and I looked at the inmates and I was quite jarred…
One of my colleagues had sent a
scary mail of photos of carpal tunnel surgery. That was definitely a mail to wake
up to However I'd say the mail is a bit of exaggeration just to use fear as
a motivator Whatever I'd found out with a good deal of research, carpal tunnel
