Rocket Recliner

[youtube]TDSdcxzz6uE[/youtube] What with all the controversy over the Foley incident I would like to change gears and take a look at Japan and a great new product they have invented. How many times have you been relxing in a nice comfortable chair and thought to yourself, jeez this chair is so comfortable I wish I didn't have to leave it to do stuff. Well with this new chair your problems are solved you can go any where in it even skiing. And don't worry about it taking all day to get there, with the handy rocket installed in the back you'll be there in no time. Coming next is the handy toilet elevator allowing you to not waste time when you get to work in the morning.

Jesus Beats Satan 7:1, Edged out By Liberal

Have you seen WordCount? It's a genius and insigtful project from the mind of, shall we say, Socialogical Computer Programmer Jonathan Harris who's work "involves the exploration and understanding of humans, on a global scale, through the artifacts they leave behind on the Web." Unlike the Googlesmack which pits words and phrases against eachother using the Google search engine (thus, words written by every goober on the Internets), WordCount is a graphical and interactive ranking of the 86,800 most common words in the English language as written by the more lucid world:
WordCount data currently comes from the British National Corpus®, a 100 million word collection of samples of written and spoken language from a wide range of sources, designed to represent an accurate cross-section of current English usage. WordCount includes all words that occur at least twice in the BNC®. In the future, WordCount will be modified to track word usage within any desired text, website, and eventually the entire Internet.
Words can say a lot about a culture - in this case, the English-speaking world. The word "Jesus" is ranked #1845, with "liberal" beating it out by 6 at #1839. "Satan" has gotten seriously behind thee at the 12864th spot. But He Who Is Known By Many Names sneaks up at #4802 as "devil" (right next to "femenist" hmm), and sneaks under the radar at 74281 as "Beezlebub" and #84987 as "Mephisto." "Evolutionism" totally smokes "creationism" at #37974 to #83461. "Intercourse" is still better than "masturbation" at #7533 to #22131. In an odd twist of events, "Palestinian" beats "Jew" #6460 to #12623. What are some good comparisons you can come up with?

Elmo to the Xtreme!!!

Recently after much speculation Fisher-Price has unveiled T.M.X. Elmo. The T stands for Tickle, the M for Me and the X is for XTREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s right this ain’t your daddy’s Tickle Me Elmo! Oh No, this is new hip edgy Elmo for a new generation. Outta the way grandpa cuz theirs a new Elmo in town and this time he’s XTREME. You might be asking yourself what exactly makes this Tickle Me Elmo so XTREME? Well I’ve been able to get my hands on some secret documents that exactly outline his XTREMENESS!!!!!

  • When you tickle him instead of laughing and shaking he bitch slaps you in the face and says, “Make me a Sammich Hoe!â€?
  • Elmo now comes with a BMX Bike, Skateboard, Inline Skates, and Snowboard for him to perform his signature moves such as the Tickle Shake Nose Grind 1080°
  • Elmo comes with his own Tattoo needle so you can give him Rad Tats such as, Muppet 4 Life, M.W.A (Muppets with attitudes), and Sesame Street Insane Killaz
  • Elmo now has nipple rings that when you tickle, he moans and tells you to â€?Spank me harder Mommyâ€?
  • Finally he comes with sunglasses, trench coat and Uzi to go on a shooting rampage after all the other Muppets constantly called him gay (Tell me Grover do you believe in God?)

Who knows what Toy will be given the Xtreme treatment next? Give you opinions on what extreme toy you would like to see. Here’s keeping my fingers crossed for He-Man Xtreme now with realistic anus.

The awesome new iPod feature no one is talking about

You may have seen some of the lavish coverage of Apple's new updates to iTunes and their iPod line of Mp3 players. The new iPod Shuffle you can clip to your pocket, the multicolored Nano, and the battery-upgraded video iPod are all great, but they're not really new.

The coolest thing announced Tueday? Two words: iPod eyeBuds.

iPod eyeBuds

This feature has gotten almost no coverage from the mainstream media or the blogging community. Could that because it was so far away from their precious predictions and speculation?

The eyeBuds (perhaps iBuds, I'm not sure of the spelling) are the replacement to the nearly ubiquitous white earbuds, the headphones that used to come with the iPod. This is a risky move for Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL), because the slim white wires are pretty iconic. They could be seen dangling from ears just about everywhere you went, from campus, to the subway, to Starbucks, to you brother's campus when you went to visit him that one time. Will the eyeBuds have the same success?

Steve Jobs is the man

Of course! As Steve Jobs demonstrated to the crowd, the eyeBuds will allow you to watch TV shows and full-length movies downloaded from the iTunes Video Store while on the go. Now you can enjoy The Pirates of the Caribbean, Cars, or Pirates of the Caribbean II while jogging, waiting in line for your dry cleaning, or driving to work. I have a 2-hour commute and let me tell you, radio is as boring as watching some dude sleep for 6 hours.

For those of you who say driving while watching a movie is unsafe, let me just remind you that people who have lost an eye are still fully able to get a driver's license in the State of California. So I say, why am I wasting two eyes on watching the bumper in front of me, when one eye could be seeing something dramatic and entertaining?

Have you gotten you hands on one yet? Theories to why other blogs are afraid to cover this? Post below.

Old People Need Technology, Too…To Poop On…

I have to start out by saying that my step-dad and mom are truly intelligent and business-savvy people. But they really baffle me sometimes with the stuff that they do. Case 1: My mother just informed that she got an MP3 player. She's had it for a whole month collecting dust. She wanted to wait until she visited my brother for him to download songs on it for her. All that she can tell me about her MP3 player is that it's the size of a cigarette lighter. Case 2: A few years ago, my step-dad bought a really nice digital camera. One of those ones that you would pay over $1000 for. He at least took pictures with it; however, when I came 6 months later was when I taught them both how to recharge the camera and take the pictures off of the camera and put them on their computer. Case 3: About two months before my step-dad and mom got married, he got a new computer...a really nice one, I might add. It stayed in the box for two months because he wanted to wait for my husband (and I) to come visit for the wedding (2 months later) to come and hook it up. Computer manufacturers were even so nice as to start color-coding all the connection points in the back for the mouse, keyboard, etc. back then. So there was no real excuse for that behavior. Case 4: Forty percent of the time that I visit my parents, they ask me to re-hook their stereo system up. For some ungodly reason, they find a need to unplug it and take it apart often, even though I tell them not to. What did old people do when they were little and received a new toy or board game? Did they ignore the directions that came with the box and stare at the game/toy until someone that was willing to read them the directions came along? All things come with instructions now. Must they be ignored all the time? This annoys me to no end. When I get a new gadget, I start opening it up in the car on the way home and spend, at least, the next 48 hours gushing over my new toy. I don't understand why it's so hard to read instructions. Most people operate their 5 remote controls that they have for their stereo system fine. On the other hand, they can't tell you the operation of more than five buttons per remote control. That's it. Talk amongst yourselves.
