Ok. I can’t see what’s going on here, but does this steering wheel-mounted iPad look safe? How can he say you’re not distracted at all? Yes you are! Just because your eyes don’t physically leave the level of the road doesn’t mean you’re less distracted. Your mind is paying more attention to the riveting newspaper …

Some Things Just Shouldn’t Be Automated.
I just saw a video of something called the Robospanker. I’m sure the intentions are probably some kind of sex game, but I’m getting horrible visions of what this thing could cause when in the wrong hands. I know anything can do harm when in the wrong hands, but this sounds like it would be …
Separating Fools From Their Money And Cracking The Rest Of Us Up
If there’s anything the business world is good at, it’s creating problems that nobody has, convincing people that they have them and then selling them something useless with which to solve them. Today’s example of this statement in action comes in the form of the EZ Cracker egg cracker and separator. Yes, no more messy …

Making the iPhone’s Touchscreen A little More Tactile
How cool is this? Jen just sent me an article about a neat new doohicker specifically for iPhone users. It’s being made by Bernard Maldonado, ya know, Mr. Solona. Basically, it’s a tactile overlay for the iPhone! If it works the way it should, it would make more people want to be iPhoners. Heck, if …

Wrong Number, Right Time
Wow! How often does that happen? The teacher tries to humiliate someone, and the class ends up getting a speech from a diplomat! It all started with an errant phone call to Logan Svitzer, who was sitting in high school history class. His phone just kept ringing and ringing! The teacher got mad, marched over …
From One Kind Of Cell To Another
If you kill someone and then use their cell phone to tell their family they’ve moved, a. make sure the person usually texts, and b. if you receive a text back from the dead person, don’t run to where you’ve stashed the body to make sure it’s still there. I’m sure Paul Edwards is regretting …
It’s Drunken Driving Barbie!
Wow. You can get busted for drinking and driving, even if you’re driving a Barbie car designed for toddlers. Apparently it doesn’t even go as fast as a scooter. This brings up a weird question, and I can’t remember if I’ve asked it before. Can you get a DUI for driving a wheelchair drunk? I …
Trekkin’
Back a while ago, holy crap that’s almost a month ago, I talked about getting a Trekker. Man, I can’t say enough times how much I love this thing. Due to construction, the usual bus stop I use is out of order. In fact, the entire route to said bus stop is out of order. …
The Only Thing This Book Should Kindle Is A Fire
I just finished the most horribly-written Stephen King short story I’ve ever seen. It was called UR, and judging by that link, it was to be released exclusively on the Kindle. Then someone decided to make an audiobook out of it…and that’s how I found it. I have put off writing this, in the hopes …

What’s Your Cup Size? And Do You Think My Balls Will Fit In There?
I’m not sure if “Japan’s busy golfing women” were screaming out forone of theseor if it’s a case of somebody building something just because he can, but either way, the Nice Cup in Bra has arrived! The green corset-style garment can be removed and unrolled to create a 1.5-meter-long putting mat. When the user sinks …
