One Job That's More Stressful Than You May Think The lifestyle of some bloggers has been described by some as invoking unsustainable levels of stress. And those job-related stresses that lead many professional bloggers to sleepless nights and around-the-clock work hours were likely factors in the recent deaths of two prominent bloggers, and the heart attack of another.
Ah, George Costanza. He was a different breed. Behold, the video below: George screens his messages while watching TV, and grooves to a sweet little ditty he recorded himself for when he was out — listen to it and try not to get his "Believe It or Not" stuck in your head.
Meanwhile, I have to claim guilt for recording some silly voicemail message, but uh, back in the day, of course! My messages are so boring now. But have you ever recorded a funny voicemail message? Are you rocking one right now?
I guess I'm not the only person upset at how bad I butcher songs on Guitar Hero — Charlie Daniels of the Charlie Daniels Band is fuming about his song, The Devil Went Down To Georgia, being included on the game, saying it's been "perverted" and that he's "disgusted with the result." Kotaku spotted this on Charlie Daniel's own website, which reveals that he lost the publishing rights to the song years ago in a settlement.
All I can think is, awww, Charlie Daniels! I wish he knew the joy Guitar Hero brings to everybody and the inspiration to learn the guitar that the game has brought (for me anyway), as well as the exposure of such a rad song to a younger generation.
Chin up, buddy. I swear everyone's not as crappy as me on that song.
Please don't be annoyed by my incessant expensive laptop bag posting lately — I only do it because I cannot resist some of the hotness I see, and I gotta show you too. Case in point, this bright yellow leather laptop tote by Francesco Biasia.
Sure, it comes in more sensible colors like black and brown, but let's all focus here: YELLOW! For the over $500 price tag, it's expensive, but good quality — it looks substantial and supple, and just think how it would pop against a neutral outfit. Oh, and, your laptop will be comfy in there too!
What's the worst text message you've ever received? Maybe you received some bad news or worse yet, you were dumped via text. For Chace Crawford, Carrie Underwood's now "ex", this was the case.
Underwood recently told EXTRA TV that it was "completely mutual." She also added, "We’re both fine. . . We broke up over text so. . . It’s like 'peace out.'" Wow, by the sounds of it, that can either be a really good sign or a really bad sign. Considering 24 percent of you have been dumped over email, I'm curious how many of you have been sent an, "I'm just not that into you anymore" text, or maybe you were the dumper and not the dumpee?! And what did the text say?
Since Firefox is my browser of choice (and appears to be yours as well), I thought I should do us all a favor and round up my fave Firefox tips, tricks, and extensions that have helped me browse easier and faster. They've also helped me get organized so I'm not jumping around everywhere and wasting my precious time. If you aren't a Firefox user, check out what you can do, and it just might turn you into a believer!
Yesterday Kotaku reminded me that the Dirty Dancing Game was coming out this week. . . but then my heart sank when I remembered that it's a game exclusive to PC's right now (PC Gamers, take it upon yourself to buy this so they'll expand it to different consoles — I lost my mind just thinking about Dirty Dancing being on the Wii). So to honor the PC Game and the minor disappointment I feel, I bring you an alternative Dirty Dancing gadget: The Projector Keychain!
Whip Johnny and Baby out of your pocket and splash them on the nearest wall any time you need a lift, like say, after carrying a watermelon.
