According to my BF, I'm a brave soul. Why? Cause I took my Rick Roll Halloween costume to the streets and into some of the offices around the Financial District to "roll" some innocent bystanders. What fun is making a Rick Roll Halloween costume if you can't use it?! After a few adjustments to the initial plan (no one wanted to rip the email off the face of the box . . . who knew?!), we were off and running. Check out the "rolling" action in this video. And I'll just say, "You're welcome," now for getting this song stuck in your head for the remainder of the day. Good times!
Guess Which Celebrities Wear Their Phone on Their Hip! We've never been shy about our love for geeky accessories, but we draw the line with wearing our cell phones on our hips. Apparently, not everyone in Hollywood agrees — we've spotted quite a few celebrities rocking their BlackBerrys and cell phones on their belt loops in the last year.
Hearing about AOL's new features — mainly social networking stuff like widgets and messaging options — make me nostalgic; I can hear that modem dialing and connecting and feel the exquisite pain of anticipation for those little three words (so ubiquitous it spawned a film).
AOL was my first Internet provider (or rather, my parents') — those free discs in the mail made it hard to resist a trial! Plus, all of my friends had AOL too. Of course, the now-exorbitant rates for dial-up service and time limits seem crazy to me, and most people have moved on to different providers (can you imagine having that speed again? I can't), but AOL will always be my first. Sigh. Was it yours?

It's a scary and lean time for everyone, and of course, people are being more protective of how they're spending money, so it's obvious that electronics are going to take a hit.
As much as I say they are a necessity, let's be honest, new TVs and cell phones are not essentials (at least until things look up again). I know I'm in a shopping freeze, which includes gadgets, and I'll probably feel this way this Christmas too, unfortunately.
Are you also holding off on buying electronics for now — for yourself and for the holidays?
So maybe this was the only time in their busy schedule that Super Talent Technology could release this 8GB, 18-karat Solid Gold USB Drive, currently retailing for $600.
Or maybe they just figure that the kind of person who would buy a solid gold drive in the first place is unconcerned with this recession.
Sample dialogue: "What is this recession you speak of?! Get me my solid gold flash drive! I need to take some MP3s over to Buffy's!"
I'm all about saving paper and time, and that's why I think e-voting machines for next week's presidential election are the way to go. But, wait? What happens if they malfunction and thousands of votes get lost, or worse yet, they don't enter the system correctly? The following video is intended to show how e-voting machines work, with a local county clerk in West Virginia providing a demonstration. But instead, the the clerk encounters some problems with the machine as it doesn't select the proper candidate when entered. He blames it on the machine being out of calibration, and shrugs it off. Scary, scary indeed.
