Have you added IT Fun on Twitter yet? Why not? Too cool for Twitter? If you've found something you think other IT pros will appreciate, send an e-mail to [email protected] so we can include it in next week's edition.

If You Do This in an E-mail… (TheOatmeal.com) - Any of these offenses are grounds for automatic deletion.
iPhone Umbilical Chord Charger (IntoMobile.com) – This is what nightmares are made of.
16-Bit ALU in Minecraft (YouTube.com) – I could easily make a joke about how much time this guy has wasted. But my ten-story Minecraft tower of doom would scream hypocrite…
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (YouTube.com) – Presented by the guys who brought you The IT Crowd. Do watch. Now.

And because it's hard to get people to do anything without a little incentive, one lucky reader who signs up for our new Twitter feed during the month of October (or until I feel like choosing somebody) will be randomly selected to receive the timely and highly practical MCSE Training Guide: Internet Explorer 4, plus a T-shirt. Add it now!
