Website of the Day: (The Customer Is) Not Always Right
How many of you have had (or still do) have a job in the service industry? Since I'm sure there are plenty of you out there (including yours truly), I'm beyond pleased to present today's site of the day selection. Taking a cue from Overheard in New York, but this time sharing the antics of crazy customers, stupid questions, and totally out-there situations, NotAlwaysRight is a hilarious collection of stories from those poor souls working in the service industry — the ones who have to smile and serve, but now have a place to vent their frustrations.

The Lego Kitchen That Rocks 20,000 Colorful Pieces
I guess if I can't have my dream Lego house, perhaps I can settle for a Lego kitchen instead? Created by Paris designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti, the Munchausen LEGO kitchen was made with an IKEA kitchen island base, which was then entirely covered with Scandinavian Lego pieces. The entire project took about a week to finish and certainly gives a plain white kitchen a bold new look.
Leonard Nimoy Talks Tech, Star Trek 2, and Fringe
If you haven't been watching Fringe, you're missing out on a solid sci-fi thriller that will help fill a void where BSG left off. Sure, there's no space, but there are alternate universes . .
People Aren't Watching Commercials During Popular Shows
TV networks, don't hate me — but I barely ever watch commercials. This is probably because my DVR is always full, so whenever I do watch a show, I feel the need to quickly get through it as fast as possible so I can delete it and move on to the next one!
A majority of you said that you occasionally watch commercials even with a DVR, but did you know that nearly all shows that won Emmys this year are more likely to have their commercials skipped over?
Cool Capture: Pink Rose of a Photo Taken by a Canon EOS SLR
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but sometimes the right camera is worth a thousand dollars . . .
Website of the Day: CitySounds
I'm always on the lookout for new music, and although Pandora does a pretty good job of "getting" my tastes and introducing me to new artists, sometimes I feel like I really just need to branch out and expand my musical horizons. What a better way to do that than to check out the most popular tunes from around the globe?
That's exactly what you get with CitySounds.fm — a world tour of music right at your desk.
Quickly Re-Touch Photos With PicTreat
Even with their fancy features, digital cameras aren't immune from taking the odd bad picture. Now what happens when you want to fix a photo (like red eye, pimples, bad lighting) and free online photo editing sites just aren't cutting it with their basic features? Sure you could always use Photoshop if you're a master of its many tools, but what if you need to change your Facebook profile photo right away, and you don't have Photoshop?
I See Myself Loving the Four Eyes USB Flash Drive
Aw, yeah. Right when I think I have seen every novelty USB drive (and really started to get tired of them, to tell you the truth), I see this: the Four Eyes USB Flash Drive ($36) from Fred Flare.
Made to look like the black plastic glasses that launched a geek-is-chic craze in accessories (which I'll always associate with Weezer's Rivers Cuomo), the drive holds 2GB and is still thin enough to tote around with you — Fred Flare even recommends using it as a bookmark.
Tech Dating 101: To Google or Not to Google
Welcome back to Tech Dating 101! In this age of modern dating, there are no more secrets — not if you're on Facebook, anyway! Now, when you make a date with someone and learn their last name, no longer do you imagine what it would sound like hyphenated with your last name — no, you take that last name and type it into Google.
Sidekick LX Review: Takes Me Back to Simpler Times
When HipTop launched the Sidekick II back in 2004, I was 100 percent on board. It was the first phone I bought that let me browse the Internet, check my mail, chat over IM, take pictures and video, and text, all in one easy-to-use device. I wore that phone out and still think fondly of it today.
