Is the iPad’s 3G a waste of money?

So, the iPad looks really freakin’ cool. And like a good little Fanboy, I sat on gdgt.com and watched the live update of the keynote. I was excited about the product, and it was pretty close to what I had expected. A larger iPod Touch with some hybrid features like productivity apps. Whether you can get some actual “work” done on it I’ll wait until I “feel” they virtual keyboard. Although, I used to NOT like the iPhone virtual keyboard, but I’ve grown to like it..so we’ll see.

Then I saw the price. $499 is the right price at the entry level. But the additional $130 for the 3G AND $14.99/month to get started? Sorry. No thanks.

“Oh, well, you know, I should go out there and like get back in the dating game and stuff. I mean but what’s the point, like the Zombie Apocalypse (2012) is coming and when I turn, like, I’m not gonna be ‘dateable’…”

WRONG!!!

That excuse can no longer be used now that we have Zombie Harmony.

Created by Mingle2.com (Dating for non-zombies)

You, the zombie, can search based on critera ranging from no limbs to freshly turned, from immobile to slow-moving. It also contains little meaty chunks of information from featured members on the home page, what more can you ask for!

Wonder if there is a niche for affiliate marketing in the Zombie Dating arena. Nuff’ Said.

So the folks over at bling-my-thing.com have outdone themselves this time and made a Macbook Air for the rest of us. Created using over 12,000 Swarovski crystals and 24k gold this baby is only about $40,000 dollars.

If you want the solid state drive with that the price goes up to about 4.3 million.

*Editor note: I’ve just been informed that $40,000 dollars is actually MORE than the base price for the Macbook Air. Who would have guessed?!

Well, this caught me by surprise the today. I had heard reports that the video of the album’s first single was reportedly banned from MTV.

Now I’m thinking to myself “Wow these guys must have done something to piss off the status quo, good for them!” So I managed to find the video in YouTube, so I sat myself down and prepared myself for the mind bending experience that this video would expose me to. I mean it must be that great if MTV banned it (supposedly).

So, there I was cleaning out the basement and I come across this excellent, handmade light saber hilt. A buddy of mine (Doug, where are you man?) actually made this for me many years ago and it’s really rather cool. The main body is made from a chrome-plated tube (I think a piece of drain pipe), some black plastic flex tubing a piece of a hair brush, a faucet handle, some large metal washers, and some various bolts and switches.

I always admire the ability of some folks to take the sweet memories of youth, and meld them into something twisted.

Exhibit A: The Lego Electric Chair. Some more pics and even a little Flash piece here. Wonder if its compatible with Lego Jar Jar Binks… cause we all know he’d be the first one strapped in.

Count your days buddy, cause they’re numbered.
