Random Stuff
- Fast food will kill you! In other news, so will life.
- Did you know Apple will laser-engrave for free iPods bought online? Here’s a list of some they rejected and some they probably should have.
- GREAT article about tweens dressing like skanks. Reminds me od the time some tween boy at the mall tried to laughingly make me nervous or embarrassed by asking if he could “toss my salad.” My only response was a J.D.-like far off gaze as I imagined the poor kid’s blurry, black and white face on the back of a milk carton.
- Even better article (from 2001) explaining why Apple stores are destined for failure – from Business Week, no less! My favorite part is the last paragraph where the author suggests Apple should stop doing what makes them Apple because it’s not how everyone else does it. Inspiring stuff, there.
- Yet another list of things you don’t have to do. I do the stop sign thing all the time. Another one is the speed sign on on- and off-ramps. It’s a suggestions, the word “limit” is not on the sign for a reason. Also, when you swipe your card at the store and they tell you to sign – don’t bother trying to sign your actual signature. The things are set up so the clerk can’t see what your signature looks like. It’s an ID theft thing. I usually scribble and throw in a smiley face for good measure.
- I love these motivational posters. When they’re funny, that is (from Imbadev.com):
- It’s amazing what makes someone a celebrity. Anyone remember Ellen Feiss?
- While I did watch some of this game, I missed Eric Cartman doing the introductions for the colorado Buffaloes when they played Nebraska. Offense Defense
- Stephen King thinks maybe Jenna Bush should be waterboarded so she can report to her dad on whether or not it felt like torture.
- Sean Taylor was murdered awhile back, and I didn’t really follow the story. Anyway, Jason Whitlock had a good story on Fox Sports about what he thinks is wrong. Whether you agree with him over what killed Taylor, you have to admit his message carries some weight on its own.
- My favorite college football blog’s head honcho really hates baseball. I like baseball, but then again I like ice hockey too, and according to ESPN, hockey scores and highlights just happen – nobody really plays ice hockey anymore. I also like rally racing and Formula 1. According to all US sports outlets, these things simply don’t exist.
- I read through Engadget and Gizmodo on a daily basis, and I usually look forward to the annual Consumer Electronics Show. Lately, I’ve noticed myself breezing through more and more posts as the gadgets covered are either useless, overpriced or just plain crap. Anyway, someone at Gizmodod apparently agrees. Good read.
- Speaking of CES… Gizmodo foklks got hold of a wondrous device that will turn off most any TV… hijinks ensued. Possibly the funniest video of nothing but televisions being turned off.
