Overheard

May 28th, 2006 by T-Fresh

I was in Best Buy yesterday and overheard a customer asking for help.

Customer: “This is probably a stupid question, but I’m having trouble finding a 40GB harddrive.”
Contemptuous Best Buy Employee: “They’re over here, but the smallest I have are 120GB.”

I didn’t hear any more because they went to another aisle. But I just thought it funny that you can no longer buy low-end computer peripherals at Best Buy, though they do have some shitty computers.

Not so hick-ish

For those of you who might think that Maine is just a large, baren, potato-growing, backwards state that has more Moose than people, take a look at this. Not only do all of our middle school students have laptops provided to them, Maine’s schools have a deal with Google to get free copies of Google Earth and SketchUp. Now that’s wicked awesome.

Time is Cyclical

May 10th, 2006 by T-Fresh

Flipping through the channels tonight I came across the Gemagic. It appears that the same woman who hocked the Bedazzler renamed it and is trying to make more money off it again. The infomercial seemed pretty early 90s inspired and none of the patterns are different; simple stars and gawdy swashy initials. And there’s even a new “mini-magic” that lets you whore-ify any garment on the go. Squee.

Is it just me, or does it look like a giant plastic stapler?

The people giving testimonies on the infomercial are the most uncreative people I’ve ever seen. One 16 year old girl who is trying to be all artsy with her bleached hair and nerd glasses turned an old watch that had no strap into a new peice of jewelry by putting a small scarf in place of the strap, and then bedazzled the fuck out if it. What the hell? I would be so embarrassed to wear something like that. But then again, I have a little taste and style.

Nerdy but great

This is pretty rad. Someone took all the characters from Battlestar Galactica and turned them into Simpson-esque cartoon characters. It combines two of the best shows into one. There’s not much else to say about it, so go check out the artwork for yourself!

Coke BlaK

May 7th, 2006 by T-Fresh

Yesterday I finally found a single bottle of the new Coke BlaK (caution, flash-heavy site) at the local grocery store and decided to try it. I must say, it’s not all that great. The whole concept of the drink is it’s Coke mixed with Coffee. Why anyone would want to do this is beyond me. It had a really sweet taste, and the coffee was smooth and rather mild — not bitter at all. But as a friend of mine exclaimed, “It’s too much coffee for my Coke, and too sweet for my coffee.” I would have to agree. So, for all those who are keeping count, Coke BlaK gets a D- from me.

Manscaping

Philips Norelco has a new campaign for their Bodygroom razor. It’s pretty awesome and Philips Norelco definitely has some balls to actually run this product introduction.

Take a look for yourself, but only if you’re not within earshot of anyone who gets offended or embarrassed easily.

(P.S. The guy is kind of hot, I just wish he’d take that robe off to demonstrate)
(P.P.S. I am in no way condoning the shaving of a man’s body hair. I prefer my men on the furry side. Though a trimmed pubic region does add that extra optical inch and just feels clean and cool.)
