Musings from the CU Suite

Compiled by Anthony Demangone

The Holidays are just around the corner. Since all of you are struggling to find the perfect gift for me, I thought I'd be helpful today. Please feel free to get me either of the following:

• Develop an app for my iPhone that erases/reverses everything I've done in the last five minutes. There are times when I'm sure I've done something wrong, like delete an email, or change a setting. But for the life of me, I'm not sure exactly what I did. I just have an uneasy feeling. This "whoops" app would be great, and I'd be open to sharing in the profits.
• I'd like another device that would erase the last five seconds of what I just said from everyone's memory. Akin to the tool that radio stations have, but one that actually travels back in time to stop me from saying whatever I just said. I'm sure my colleagues would chip in on this one. 

That should be enough to get a few of you started. Have a great weekend, and enjoy this week's reading pile.
