  • What’s the buzz

    There are a crazy amount of iPod accessories out there, but this is the most… uh, interesting one yet. For that special someone in your life.

    Merry Christmas, Mom! Apparently this little device, which hooks up to the iPod and buzzes in time to your music library, is the hottest Christmas gift going. It’s great for getting to sore muscles and aching bones and might even be used for a bit of extracurricular self-induced carnival time after hours, but we wouldn’t condone that at all. The body is a temple.

  • Frappr and Me

    A few people have started doing this, so just to be trendy I’ve decided to do it also. Frappr is a site that lets you map where people are. For instance, if you click on the button below, it will take you to the page for this blog (with one whole person on it as of this posting). And then you can add yourself to the map. I’ve always kind of been curious about the readership of this blog. I know it isn’t huge, but there do seem to be a fair number of people who read it. So please, leave a marker for yourself (It only requires a name and a zip code, so no other personal information is required).

    Check out our Frappr!

  • Okay, just one more quiz

    Okay, one more quiz for the day and I’ll stop. But I liked that I was Very Silly.



    Very Silly

    Arbitrary Silly Coordinates: (105,5)

    Now, score each answer as follows:

    A) 256 points

    B) π points

    C) -(i2) points

    Multiply the score of each answer by the square root of its ordinal number.

    Now, take all the answers whose ordinal number is even but not evenly divisible by three and add them together to get an X-axis value. Take all the answers whose ordinal number is evenly divisible by three but not by two and add them together to yield a Y-axis value. For all other answers, discard the results; they were red-herrings.

    Finally, print the above chart out on a piece of paper. Using the X- and Y-axis values you computed earlier, find the corresponding location on the chart and mark it. Then throw it away and try not to think about it. You’ll be glad you did.

  • Test of the Day

    I hope this isn’t becoming a test blog :). Honestly, I thought the test was a little easy. I was expecting a bit more of a challenge.

  • Good. Bad. I’m the one with the gun.

    Because I was psyched to get this result:

    You're Ash, baby.
    Gimme some sugar baby.

    After listening to TWiT the other day I felt compelled to check out Tiki Bar TV, Forbidden cocktails in a swank pad. I can’t decide if it is genius or incredibly stupid, but I do know I can’t stop watching it. You should definitely give the Tiki Bar a visit.

  • Bouncy Bouncy, Part Deux

    Balls

    A few months ago I posted about Sony filming a commercial where they released 10,000 super-balls on a hill in San Francisco. Well it turns out it was actually 250,000 superballs, and they’ve posted the commercial online. Pretty cool looking.

  • Parents and Videogames

    I always enjoy Halley’s blog and today she posts about parents and video games.

    I rarely find parents who take THE TIME TO SIT DOWN AND PLAY the games with their kids. That’s what I’ve been doing for three years now. I stink at playing, but I know about a lot of games. Parents who don’t play think Tetris, Splinter Cell, Jak and Daxter and Halo are the same — and they are not.

    …

    As I mentioned below, even if you are a parent who has ZERO interest in actually playing videogames, please read the book “Everything Bad is Good For You” by Steven Johnson, to get a perspective on what a complex, artistic, challenging, educational excursion our kids are taking when they play. [Halley’s Comment]

    My sister is one of those parents who has no interest in video games. She watches the ratings of the games, but really has no idea about the content most of the time. To me it seems like issue of paying attention to what your child watches on TV. Just because a show isn’t violent or whatever doesn’t mean that you would want your child watching it.

    Then again, I don’t have a kid so I may not be qualified to say much about this. I do know that as a kid I would have loved it if my parents were more interested in the games I liked and wanted to play.

  • For the Handyman Who Has Everything

    I personally think it should come in a big roll. It isn’t really duct tape if it doesn’t make that noise when you rip a piece off. It also needs to be multipurpose. You should be able to use it to build some bizzare contraption with it, like MacGuyver.

    Duct Tape Band Aid

    Images Nexcareducttapebandage
    I am a man’s man. Nothing hurts me. I am pretty much invincible, except when my kitty scratches me. The worse thing is going to the construction site (work as I call it) and getting ridiculed by all of the other guys, and even the women for wearing a daffy duck band aid. This is a duct tape band aid for the most hardcore people out there. No longer will people think you are a baby. I mean honestly, nothing says hardcore more than having duct tape wrapped around a boo-boo. Maybe dipping said boo boo in motor oil and wrapping a used diaper around it is harder core, but not by much.
