Welcome to Joos of the Day (JotD)
JotD started as sending along little fascinating and mind blowing things I find when I have free time to troll through the internet.
With the recent advent of RSS newsfeeds, I’ve subscribed to technology channels which allow me to find fairly efficiently recent trends out there. I send these along to you – because putting the effort into self learning and having fun with it should be shared. These are things I find interesting – but if you find something really neat, send it to me and I can include it.
Lexicon
Joos = “Juice”
Joos is something when I come across it, it makes me think, be fascinated, or go “huh”.
Juice can be:
- Topical to my work
- Geeky (not nerdy, and yes, there is a difference)
- Interesting/Strange/Unique
- Creative
- The occasional WtF moment or “Whaaaaaa???”*
*Editor’s note: I keep these to a minimum
Juice is generally not:
- Forwarded mass spam
- Cuteness (unless it is something like http://cuteoverload.com which studies cuteosity and is therefore juicy)
- Humor (unless it studies the topic in a techy way)
Editor’s note: I did send out the Darwin Award winners and Ignobel Awards, so no rule is really “firm”.
The proper way to classify great Juice is to refer to it as “pulpy”. The more pulp, the more amazingly joosy it is/was.
So:
- Great Joos is “pulpy”
- Joos is just your average joosocity index.
- Rotten/Spoiled/Tainted Juice is “Anti-Joos” or something very uncool but needs to be sent out. Evildoers beware!
