I have never been much for baths. Something about sitting in the water that you just cleaned yourself was never very appealing to me. Now a hot beautiful shower and you've got my attention, but for the rest of you:
The Catsup Crapper
This is a video you just have to see. Don't worry, its funny not gross. What will those crazy kids at MIT think up next?
All-In-One Surround Sound
This product will pain people like me — the ones that like to talk about optimum speaker placement and such. Samsung has created a multispeaker all-in-on unit that will do "surround" sound from one spot. Not only does this work just as well as your 6.1 dolby digital theater system, it also looks like it belongs on Star Trek, or a gaming console. Nice.
“The Hard Drive Is The New Bling”
Uhm. Yeah. Hitachi has decided that adding a little Urban Funk to their products will help sales and have therefore declared the HD the new bling. They even made a flash Rap video to promote this new fashion trend amonst the world's peeps. You should watch it. Seriously, it's BAD — but it's kind of amusing, you know, in its badness. My suggestion to Hitachi: you might want to talk to at least one black person that is not -uh- Asian before you launch a marketing campaign targeting African-American Ubanites.
UPDATE: Apparently Hitachi had to use a flash "artist" when the slated singer/entertainer couldn't stop laughing after hearing the pitch.
70s Flash Back
So I got a taste of the 70s oil crisis today. Stopping at a gas station before a trip up North, I noticed several pumps with bags on them and a plethora cars at the other pumps. I found an open pump and pulled up. I soon discovered the pumps with bags were not defective — just out of gas. Mine was close. I was able to buy 29 cents of 87 octane before it went dry. The sad thing was that was less than 1/10 of a gallon. Then I switched to 89 octane and finished it off with a mere $4. Finally, I switched 92 as I really need more than a gallon of gas to make my trip. Unsurprisingly, there was plenty of 92. Nothing like gas breaking $3/gal for people to reconsider weither their car "needs" the good gas. So after a sum total of $35 to fill my tank for a 200 mile drive, I took a brief moment to thank the Lord for my corporate gas card. (never leave home without it)
