The Japanese Cell Phone Market Kicks The US Cell Phone Market's Ass

Why. Why. WHY CAN'T THE U.S. HAVE AWESOME CELL PHONES LIKE THIS ONE? WHY? I don't want an iPhone. I just plain don't. I know that Japan is the country producing all these cool phones but why don't they make it over here? Everytime I go get my nails done the staff has nifty little phones they got from back home.

Their Own World

ABCNews.com and the Associated Press published photos from what they called "an uncontacted indian tribe". The pictures and the concept seem so foreign to me. They literally have their own little world. No technology, no influence... they exist within their own reality. I have watched a few documentaries on new tribe discoveries. Usually, the researchers don't have cameras rolling during their first contact. When they do go back, you can already see the touches of modern world hitting them. Elders wearing hats, children wearing pieces of cotton clothing. Interestingly enough, the report stated "there are more than 100 uncontacted tribes worldwide, most of them in Brazil and Peru".

I am going to post the photos but they aren't very big. The first photo is probably the most striking. The "Uncontacted Indians" were photographed from a plane in the Envira River region of Brazil near the Peru border. They fired arrows at the plane as it flew over.

I Don't Haz It But I Want One That Haz It

Back to work and doesn't it feel so bad... I've been back home for a couple days now but I'm still exhausted. So much to do, working on my MOS certification, GRAASM (big international meeting at work next week), looking to go back to school for my degree... etc. Being busy helps with the missing of the Ian... but only to a certain extent. I'll probably post a bunch of pictures from our Niagara Falls trip. The whole weekend was a ton of fun... It always is when I'm with him. Anyway, I have to get back to creating handouts. FUN! Here is a bunneh on what looks like a kitteh.

Honey Honey Honey...

Wii Fit Makes Me Sad

I NEVER thought I would buy a Wii anytime soon, nor would I need to pre-order the Wii Fit... this picture makes me sad.

3 Days and Counting

A little Monday morning reading material as I can't seem to get to work... I need an Iced Tea the size of my head.

Cracked has a new list out - The 10 Most Terrifying Video Game Enemies of All Time. Among my favorites:

#8 - The Dog from Paperboy
This game was a 1988 Nintendo classic about a plucky paperboy and an entire neighborhood that inexplicably wanted to murder him.

I never played the following game... but the description made me laugh.

#2 - The Poison Head Crabs from Half Life 2
Whenever we heard these lil' fuckers ululating in a shadowy corner of the room, we fell back on our default strategy of spinning in circles and shooting at the ceiling. And we weren't the only ones wigging out --the crabs' shrieks were so unpleasant that they reportedly threw Half Life 2 play testers into ammo-wasting paroxysms.

Patch Notes for Wrath of the Lich King Alpha Testing are out/leaked. My only comment for this is where it mentions Death Knights... THEY START IN EASTERN PLAGUELANDS???? I thought I was done with that dustbowl of hell.

I really need to hurry up and get my Civic Hybrid... /sigh - Gas, Diesel Prices Soar to Record High

Has anyone seen the new "Slutty" Starbucks Logo? I'm not exactly sure if I would call it slutty... and I don't really agree that she has her "legs" spread... but wtf... It's just plain weird looking. Someone needs to smack the marketing department's lead upside the head. Probably should include the CEO as well.

I'm not sure if I'm going to see it... but Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is getting semi-good reviews after being viewed at Cannes. I'm not big into the action genre but I'd watching the previous 3 films again... Ok, minus the bug scene in the Temple of Doom one.

Anyway, 2 more days and then a day of travel for me and I'll be in the arms of the man I love. Yes, I'm a sappy mess when it comes to Ian. Below is something to add to my list. Have a great Monday!

ARE... YOU... READY????

I don't think so.

Get your bunneh snorgle on.
