I think we’re getting into SMS tea kettle territory with this one. A group of postgraduate students from New York University has developed a service [presumably for people who are too stupid to figure things like this out on their own] that will enable plants that are either too wet or too dry to phone …

Have a Holly USB Christmas
Wow, USB gadgets are making a further descent into tackyville. You can now get a His ‘n’ Hers USB gift set. Wanna know what’s in the men’s set? A mini vacuum cleaner with brush, why in hell you would wire a vacuum up to a computer I don’t know, a desk lamp, a cup warmer …
Meet George Jetson
There are so many questions I have about this story. Where do I begin? How in hell is something that is 1 foot tall weighing 200 pounds? I cannot imagine how you could pack so much weight into such a small space. No wonder when it is low on power, it returns to its dock …
Hello? Is This Thing On?
Writing this, I wonder if anyone’s still reading. We both screwed off for a good long time. 15 days? eek. Have we ever done that before? I’m too lazy to scroll through the archive and check. But I think it’s pretty rare. So rare that Ann Adams, the sweet lady that she is, wondered if …
For Stressed out Geeks Everywhere…

Homeboy Got a New Cellphone!
I know, I know, that was only funny for Steve, the lady at Rogers who I talked to when I got this thing, and me, but that’s never stopped me before, hahah. Remember when I jumped up and down about Rogers’s new phone that you could buy with the Talks software already installed? Well, guess …

I hear you now. And this means exactly what? Talks software has been around for a while. You install …
My email Crashed My Car!
Ok, I don’t know how to feel about this story that Jen sent me. I feel like it’s a good idea, a bad idea and a really bad idea all at once. Let me try and explain. Voice on the Go Inc. has come up with a system which people can use to check their …
Nose Thank You, that Snot For Me
