Pitch a tent...hahahahahaha

You're free!!! 
Quechua : 2 second tent
After that monstrosity that we took camping the last time (not that I used it much). This is that way of the future. It take two seconds to pitch this tent. It's got me beat by about 7. And it sounds like its under $100.

Paradise Lakers

Monkey Sea, Monkey Doo, Monkey Throw Monkey Doo 
Seadoo Speedster Wake
The Lakers are in Southern California known for their abundance of lakes. Well man-made ones. If by any chance we end up staying here for more than a year after nursing school I was informed we were getting a boat. If that horrible thing happens this is the one we will get. Here's a bunch of boat propaganda courtesy of Seadoo:
"Everything on the new Speedster Wake was designed for extreme sport and serious air. A new ballast tank allows you to fill and empty water in minutes at the touch of a button. It also comes with PerfectPassTM Pro Speed Control with eight different speed controls to help you personalize and create the perfect wake for different riders. Spotters can also speak to boarders through a P.A. system connected to two tower speakers. On the Speedster Wake, you'll take the sport to another level."
Did ya read that, "Another level". That'll get me to level 2! Where do I sign.

Breezy (rap for breeze) 
Breeze Maple
Welcome to the world of cyborg trees.

"Breeze can visually sense and react through 360 degrees, allowing her to reach out to you and others whenever you are near. This is not a dancing bush, the motion is subtle and artistic, and at the same time, surreal."

This is done with nitinol wires that bend when exposed to a current. This is going to have some interesting tech apllications in the future. Think: guard trees, temp sensors, online activity, plant droops when B is on a pron site, etc.

RIP...Now gimme my money

RipMobile
I know you have old cell phones in a drawer somewhere. You were totally gonna sell them on eBay, but now what? RIP Mobile will recycle your phone and give you credit that you can use at some pretty decent stores. And if you're feeling green, you can use it to for Terrapass credit to offset your gas guzzler.

Holy Shnikeys!!!

One more reason to feel lamer than Laird Hamilton. Well this and that his wife can kick your ass.

MEIZU MP3 PLAYER
Please help us celebrate the birth of Santa Claus by buying me the Meizu Portable Media Player. Only $219 for 4 Gigabits of flashy goodness. It's not even made by Apple. Now if B started to like women, the apocalypse would be just around the corner.

Herbie the Love Golf?

Hello Dave.

So the Stanford Darpa Crawled along to win the challenge and VW has a GTi Golf that can self-drive to it's 150 mph max speed? Better than it's own drivers? WTF?

Web Page Peep Show

Browster 
Browster - Fastest Way to Browse
I've been trying this out for about a week now. And my verdict is: So nice. You just mouse over any link (in Firefox and Explorer) and it pops up in a clickable preview window without having to open the whole page. Saves time in searches and it's a free download (with no spyware), so just go try it. LT approved.
Update: I ended up uninstalling it. It's very annoying. It would be better if it were only on the search pages.

Thou shall not steal...Especially if you're a skeevy Idiot

How NOT to steal a SideKick II
Hahahhaa some dumb chic stole a T-mobile sidekick that she found in a taxi and proceeded to take sleezy pictures of herself. The problem is Sidekick send any pics taken to the users account, so they have pics of this so very intelligent perp.
"Some people are asking how we have their pics and AOL name. The way a Sidekick works, is that when u use it, all the data on it get’s uploaded automatically to the T-Mobile server. So pictures u have taken, AOL names and passwords u have used, etc are all on the server. So when my friend turned on her new Sidekick and put her new SIM card in, all the data downloaded on to her phone. And that’s how we have everything. "
Update:"Tonight, the NYPD picked up Sasha, the girl that either paid for the Sidekick from a cabbie, on the subway, or got it from her mother—their story isn't quite straight yet."

Curiosity, humor surround June 6, 2006: "In 1980, a TV host and others rigged the number 666 to come up in a Pennsylvania lottery drawing. It's a number that is part of every UPC barcode on groceries (a coincidence according to the code's inventor). With biblical coding, 666 also is the number for the WWW of the World Wide Web.

The math of 666 is also open to biblical interpretation and manipulation. Just points out that 666 is the sum of all the numbers on a roulette wheel. Other oddities include variations on pi and products of prime number multiplication."

And from the more reasonable Mind Control forum:
"EVERY BARCODE HAS THIS 666 MARK OF THE BEAST.

PART OF THE SECRET WORLD GOVERNMENT AGENDA TOWARD THE NEW WORLD ORDER IS TO HAVE EVERYONE IN THE WESTERN WORLD MICROCHIPPED BEFORE THE YEAR 2005. EACH INJECTED MICROPCHIP WILL CONTAIN COMPLETE DETAILS OF THE INDIVIDUAL INCLUDING A PERSONALLY NUMBERED BARCODE.

MICROCHIP RESEARCH SCIENTISTS DECLARE THAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE PLACE IN THE BODY TO BE MICROCHIPPED (DUE TO BODY TEMPERATURE) IS IN THE BACK OF THE HAND OR FOREHEAD.

A MICROCHIPPED PERSON CAN BE VERY EASILY LOCATED AND MONITORED WHEREVER THEY ARE FROM ANY OF THE MIND CONTROL COMPUTER CENTRES ALREADY IN OPERATION AROUND THE GLOBE.

TECHNICALLY, THIS IS ACHIEVED VIA THE (SO-CALLED) MOBILE PHONE NETWORK AND MOBILE PHONE ANTENNAS AND MASTS NOW COVERING EVERY DENSELY POPULATED AREA IN THE WESTERN WORLD AND ARE CONTINUALLY BEING ERECTED AT AN ALARMING RATE.

MORE IMPORTANTLY HOWEVER, A MICROCHIPPED PERSON CAN EASILY BE (AND WILL BE) MANIPULATED AND CONTROLLED BY THE TRANSMITTING OF SPECIFIC MICROWAVE AND ELF FREQUENCIES TO THE BRAIN VIA THE MICROCHIP THAT CAN TOTALLY ALTER A PERSONS NORMAL THOUGHT AND EMOTIONAL PATTERNS AND THEREFORE BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSES.

DON'T BE A ROBOT - DON'T BE MICROCHIPPED!! "

Personally I think that ALLCAPS quote deserved THREE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!

Freckle past a hair.
