She's mine at last. 8.0mp, 3fps, 3x optical zoom, and lots of other things that make no sense to me…… yet.



Music for Life

The growing cult of the iPod. MP3 player compatibility as automotive selling points. Either the youth of America is taking over, or this stuff is not just for kids. Music = life. You heart music. Admit it. Then go visit these two sites…

Last.fm calls itself the social music revolution. Hit the front page, type in a band and Last.fm will pull up ordered lists of the bands most popular songs, similar artists, and play new recommendations based on your taste. You create a personal radio station, Last.fm uses your preferences to build its fantastic infrastructure of profiled recommendations. What's not to like?

Pandora, created by Music Genome Project crew, can be equated to asking your music buff friend for album recommendations. Only there are a lot more music buff brains behind this answer… and you don't even have to buy them a drink. Cheers!

In conjunction with the upcoming sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, M&M's has realeased "Pirate Pearl" white chocolate M&Ms. This is the first time M&Ms have been released in white chocolate in the US.

I unapologetically acquired an old mac last week. Here's what brought that on…

Delicious Monster has done an incredibly fantastic make-you-wish-you-owned-a-mac job with their library program – aesthetics and functionality alike will knock your socks off. I'm hoping to see more cool toys from these guys in the future. Check it out. You might even want to get a Mac.

Not a Hoax!

No, really, it's not a hoax… you can actually get paid to drink Mt. Dew!

I'm off to cash in on the last six months of dew-be dew-be dewing… at fifty-five cents a pound, I'm gonna be rich!



early on the punchline

but you have to hand it to them anyway…

celebrating 4/1 a bit early seems to be the trend this year, and Think Geek has my vote so far. We have yet to see if Google can top the ingenuity of USB Desktop Tanning Centers, Wireless Microwave Extension Cords, and the above illustrated Caffeine Inhaler. If only they weren't fooling…
