This is so cool

May 31, 2007

Tyson passed along the following link to me. It’s a new touchscreen “coffee table” computer just announced by Microsoft.

The video’s a couple minutes long, but make sure you watch until at least the three-minute mark. It’s amazing what they do with the digital camera and PDA. Wow.

What happened on your birthday?

May 29, 2007

kakorama.jpgYou can find out what happened on your birthday thanks to a site called, Kakorama.

By entering in your birth date, the website will tell you what famous people are born on the same day as you, who was on the cover of Rolling Stone and Time Magazine that week, what the top song was on that day, and more.

Some of the interesting things I found out were that western gunslinger and American pioneer Buffalo Bill shares the same birthday as me, Bill Murray was on the cover of Rolling Stone, the average price of a dozen eggs was .84 cents, and I was born on a Friday.

The top song on my birthday was “Centerfold” by the J. Geils Band.

Also, if I was a Martian and was born on Mars, I’d only be 13.4 years old thanks to their years lasting 687 days each.

Now this is pretty cute

May 29, 2007

A new website has started up, called The Cute Project. If there’s one thing that even I’ll admit I find incredibly cute, it’s baby animals. This site is not entirely baby animals, but it does have over 16 pages of cute animal pictures.

Here’s an example of the types of pictures they have…

Girls, you look really stupid in this

May 27, 2007

waistbelt1.jpgThe newest trends and looks are always changing. They always have and always will. But every once and a while, and a lot more often than it should, something really stupid comes along. Shoulder pads in women’s jackets, frosted tips, parachute pants, anything with glitter on it… you get the point.

The latest in the long line of really stupid trends, is the big waist belt. What the hell is this thing?

It is almost impossible for the big waist belt to look good. At best, it looks ridiculous. At worst… well… it compares to this.

Often, but not always, it’s overweight girls wearing them in some sort of effort to make their waist appear smaller. The idea in itself is absolutely moronic. You want to hide that large stomach by wearing a huge freakin’ god-awful looking belt around it? Are you RETARDED? Do you not realize the horrid belt just BRINGS attention to that large mid-section, and makes you look even FATTER?!?

“Hey, I don’t want anyone to notice how big my stomach is, so I’m going to wear a regular outfit that doesn’t look too bad, and then I’m gonna slap on a huge attention-grabbing blocky belt around my waist. Yeah, it’ll look awesome!”

Is this seriously how women think?

Girls… if any of you have one of these belts… throw it away. You look ridiculous. Anyone who tells you different is lying to you.

Then again, what do I know about fashion? This is one of my favorite T-shirts.

The most vicious attack of all time

May 18, 2007

From Dayton Daily News:

Police responded to The Golden Corral, 8870 Kingsridge Drive, behind the Dayton Mall because a female was throwing Gummy Bears at the manager.

She was in the parking lot yelling at employees when the officer arrived.

An employee said the subject came into the restaurant late and complained about the food.

She started putting gummy bears in a napkin and putting them in her purse. The subject yelled and cursed at the manager when confronted. She then took the candy from her purse and threw it at the manager and on the floor.

The manager said the subject threatened to beat her up. The subject told police she had to wait five minutes before being seated and that most of the food was gone. She went to get ice cream but was unable to and told the manager. She denied threatening to beat up the manager. The subject was issued a summons to appear in court.

How is this even news? Oh, “let’s call the cops because someone is chucking freakin’ gummy bears at me. The horror!”. WTF?!? Idiot.

Whoa, little toddler, watch out!

Which Superhero are you?

May 8, 2007

I took a short quiz on TheSuperHeroQuiz.com, that based on your answers tells you what superhero you most resemble. Pretty straight foward.

Here’s my results:

superheroquiz.jpg

Hot-headed, eh? Green Lantern is not necessarily the result I would have wanted, although I’ll be honest and admit I don’t really know much about him. I guess I could have got Wonder Woman or Robin, so I should be happy

For those of you that like these types of things, you can take the quiz here.

Owning a cat is now even easier

May 4, 2007

catgeniebox.jpgIf having to look after a cat is too hard for you (yeah, I know cleaning the litter box every week can get pretty straining), now there’s a cure.

The Cat Genie Cat Box is here to relieve you of your huge workload. It’s even shaped like a toilet, and “cleans like a modern washing appliance”.

According their website, “When the cat goes, the liquid drains away from these granules, allowing the waste to be flushed. Fresh water fills the basin, and the GenieHand scrubs and scours the cat box and granules. Liquefied waste and sudsy water get flushed down toilet or drain and safely out of the home, and a hot-air blower completely dries the Granules and cat box for kitty’s comfort.”

This would actually be somewhat useful for those lazy types out there, but at a cost of $299 USD, I’d imagine cleaning the litter box manually at no cost doesn’t sound so bad.

Fancy-up your morning toast

May 3, 2007

smileytoast.jpgTired of having the same boring old toast every morning? Ever wish your toast was branded with a smiley face or a heart? Yeah, neither do I.

But for those of you that do, now you can have it.

The “Pop Art Toaster” can be purchased for $34.99 USD at Target.

The Toaster comes with 6 design plates, has twelve toasting levels, and a slide-out crumb tray. It comes with a snowflake, flower, cake, “Luv U”, heart and smiley face design patterns.

If my morning toast ever popped out with a smiley face on it I’d throw it against the wall. I don’t know about you, but 7:30am is not a “smiley face” kind of time for me.

The wood-paneled HD TV

April 23, 2007

Last I checked this is 2007, not 1983. Since when is having a wood paneled TV cool again? I remember my Grandparents had a couple massive TV’s covered in a “fancy” wooden case. Well, come to think of it… they still have them.

Still… was it really a fad that you’d want to bring back? If that’s a yes, then this 60” will cost you close to $11,000 USD. I think I’ll stick to my more modern HD TV.

The Ethnic Face Transformer

April 18, 2007

Ever wondered what you would look like if you were a different race? Or as an old person? Or as an ape? Well, now you can find out.

Using St. Andrew’s Face Transformer, I simply uploaded a picture of myself, and followed a couple steps, and was then able to find out what I’d look like as a baby, a child, Asian, an Ape, Drunk, as a Manga Cartoon and more. It’s pretty hilarious what comes out. Look below to see what I came up with.

I started with this picture:

Here is me as a East-Asian:

Me as a child:

Botecelli version (or you could say, my Sopranos character):

Me as a Manga/Japanese cartoon character:

And finally, me as an old man:

Wow, Michaela… aren’t you lucky you get to look forward to that?!?

The best thing to happen to ugly girls since alcohol

April 14, 2007

sunglasses.jpgI don’t have a problem with “big sunglasses”. Most attractive girls will still look good wearing them.

But I can see why so many girls are jumping on the big sunglasses wagon. I mean, if you aren’t what most people would call attractive, just throw on a pair and these, and POOF, it’s magic. Half your face is covered up, and well… half the ugly gets covered up, too.

You can walk down the street wearing these, and guys will point and go “oh, she’s wearing trendy big sunglasses, she must be hot!”

I just find it pretty funny. Make-up, wonder bra’s, hair extensions, big sunglasses… girls are doing whatever possible to cover up how they really look.

It’s really quite crazy how far women will go to look as different from their natural self as possible.

I must have this!

April 12, 2007

dvdchair.jpg

If you’re like me, and you dream of coming home to a cold beer, a relaxing massage and a good movie, then you will want this chair.

It will give you a massage that differs based on your mood and the type of music you are listening to. It has kneading, tapping, air and vibration massage. It not only massages your back, but your calves, legs and feet.

“Infrared sensors will scan the curvature of your body, detecting the exact acu-points unique to each individual, and added shoulder adjusting”, says the website that sells the product.

It has an integrated DVD player with hi-fi earphones and loudspeakers. It also comes with a multi-function color LCD control panel, that allows you to easily control all of the functions that the chair is capable.

There is also a drink tray.

Like I said in the title, I must have this.

The Beer Pager

April 4, 2007

beerpager1.jpg“Never lose your suds again! The Beer Pager is the perfect gift for that forgetful someone who always misplaces their drink. Just drop your favorite beverage into the Beer Pager the next time you’re at a crowded party. If you go to the bathroom or start talking to a hottie and forget where you placed your beer, just click the remote control button. The Beer Pager will proudly belch and flash colorful lights so you can easily find your drink.”

But what happens when you get drunk and lose the remote control?

You can buy it here for $24.89 US.

The Celebrity Scale

March 30, 2007

celebscale.jpg

From Firebox.com:

It seems everyone is obsessed about their weight these days. Too fat, too thin, size zero this, obese that. The whole weight debate is enough to make you want to smash up the bathroom scales and start again.

And that’s pretty much what the makers of the hilarious Celebrity Weighing Scales have done, because they’ve dispensed with traditional units of measurement and replaced them with the names of celebrities, historical figures and even a few calorifically-challenged fictional characters.

With this deeply ironic set of scales you get to compare your weight with the likes of Fozzie Bear, Mr Ed (yes, the talking horse!), Donald Trump’s Combover and even the Baby Jesus. Just think, with a set of Celebrity Weighing Scales in the bathroom you’ll be itching to step aboard, not dreading the prospect.

Nothing quite like being told you weigh the same as a horse to boost your confidence.

The best salad dressing ever made

March 30, 2007

3cheeseranch.jpgAnyone who knows me, knows I love salads. I eat a ton of them, and in order to keep them interesting, I usually have about 10 different salad dressings on hand so I can change things up on a nightly basis.

Pretty recently, I discovered the best salad dressing I have ever had: Three Cheese Ranch. It’s amazing. I’m not even a fan of ranch dressing, but this stuff is incredible. If you haven’t tried it yet… go buy some tonight!
