Here's Google Local for the mobile phone. I uses some sort of google maps on your phone to find local businesses and getting directions. I have yet to try it, but I've been using google sms for awhile now for local business search and word definition and it's pretty sweet.

time to go...to the Choppah! 
Wired News: "Nurses union Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro called the decision 'an enormous victory' because Schwarzenegger 'is going to stop going after registered nurses and patient ratios.'

The governor's action came two days after California voters rejected all of his proposed government-overhaul initiatives and on the same day he took 'full responsibility' for the election debacle.

The 1-to-5 staffing ratio was not among the issues decided at the ballot box Tuesday but has been a long-sought goal of the 60,000-member California Nurses Association. Schwarzenegger sided with the hospital industry in opposing the 1-to-5 ratio, citing the added financial burden and the nation's nursing shortage.

Tensions between the governor and the nurses union escalated in December 2004, when he labeled the union a special interest and said he was 'kicking their butts.'"

Watch out for Big Music

Sony's mess
For those of you that hadn't heard yet. The new Albums(CD's) that Sony's been putting out have spyware that installs on your PC and at this point isn't even detectable by antivirus/spy programs. Fuck them, I'm downloading a Bette Midler song today.

Now you can watch porn while riding a motorcyle. I'm feeling overstimulated just thinking about it. Well, maybe it just tells you your speed, gear, and radar detector alarms. I guess I'll settle for that.

Faucet Light (#80875)
This is wierd, but cool. When you turn on the faucet, the water glows blue. They should make a temperature sensitive one that changes to red when the water's hot, but for $15 what more can you ask for?

mTune - Cordless Stereo Headset for iPod Shuffle
I'm trying to decide if I like this. Peamouthchub, you can chill right out. We all know you only like things that go in your mouth. These headphone hold your Shuffle right in the ear piece. It would be great for someone who travelled alot, or maybe for riding (snowboarding, hmmmm) I think if bose made some version with their quiet tech it would almost be a shoe in. There's also one for the Nano, but you wouldn't be able to see the screen, so you'd have to take them off to pick a new song. Cool ideas anyway.

I've seen this before, but I have a new project (TBA) that this will be perfect for. I guess it's more of a guy thing, but everyone knows how those wall warts clog up a powerstrip. This solves the problem in a simple design solution, and at 15 bucks yagottagetit.

Zipcar
This is for the city kids. These guys want to let you rent a car (VW's , mini's, etc.) for $8.50 and hour or something like $49 a day. All so you don't have to buy a car. Sounds like it might work in SF, NYC, and the like.

That's righ folks. That crazy tofu delivery boy, Fujiwara Takumi, is now going to be drifting his way down the mountain in real life. Let's hope they leaveout the whole perverted Japanese business man sponsorship of harijuku girls angle. So get out your '86 corollas, 'cuase it's alreadybeen brought'n!

Pimp the Indies

Pump Audio
This is for all you unsigned fools. I love this idea. They get a bunch of indie music together in one place. Then, mass media comes to them looking for music that won't break the budget. MTV uses it and even European companies are using it. It's a non-exclusive agreement, and you still own all of the rights to your music. They do take a 50% cut of the licensing fees, but that's 50% you never would've seen in the first place. I'm definitely checking this out...

3 Taps are better than getting kicked in the head

THE UBER TAP
Yes, the name is Uberific and no, I'm not a fan of standing in the keg line. And why don't the chicks ever pump? Here's somewhat of a solution: Three taps, foot pump, and some genious finally figured out you might need a different taps system for different beers. Besides, you can always hire a chick to pump it. What-EVER...I just drink hard liquor, beer has to many calories.

Brand New Crap

E61 
Nokia E61
Nokia is going to be releasing the E61, their version of the crackberry killer. Looks like it has all the smart phone accoutrements: full keyboard, calendar, and multiple email push solutions. "Users will also be able to manage full attachments such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDF viewer and ZIP manager, and an editing function (document, spreadsheet and presentation) are included." They are also releasing the E70, cool new version of my own favorite phone style with the candybar flip keyboard for those who don't like talking into cd cases. Now, I'm just waiting for Apple's take on the cell phone.

I know, I know. apple this and apple that... But now it plays video. I hope it doesn't make me crossed eyed like when I play tiger wood's golf on my tiny cell phone screen. Some day when I'm rich, or when my mom sends me some scrilla for x-mas, I'll get one just in time to find out they put out one with more memory or holigraphic features. It think that this might be a new phobia: future DAPhobia. Hmmmm I claim it. Now everyone must site me to use the term (preferably in APA format).

red swingline stapler 
So I have this red swingline stapler. Something is so pleasing about driving the staple through my papers and assignments. They should make a stapler that makes it look like the paper bleeds where you staple it. hmmmmm... I think I'm going to bed early tonight.

I know some of you may have already heard of this, but I finally downloaded it. So far so good. It has some type of almost creepy intuitive thing about it. I tells you the local temp, news, clips from your favorite blogs (which I didn't tell it), pictures from you hardrive and websites. All this and it incorporates your own hardrive into googles search window. Crazy stuff.

Here's furbie cousin. I think he's a dj groupie. by messing with his ears and nose you can control all types of beats and sounds. And if you flick the dingle berry on his head he make some sort of scratching sound. All that and you don't have to put up with 13 year old girls swinging glow sticks at your junk. Unless you're into that.

Snooze Whores

Sonic Grenade 
Sonic Alarm
"Simply pull the pin, yell an emphatic "fire in the hole" and lob the grenade into the sleeper's room. After ten seconds a very annoying and piercingly loud noise (there are three volume settings) will blast out from the alarm. That's not all however, what makes this especially great is that to stop the alarm the sleeper has to find you so you can put the pin back in. It's stupid, and brilliant, and will be the bane of every over-sleeper on the planet. Parents are going to love this, though the soon to be rudely awoken might not." Something like 16 bucks, F'in rad!!!
