Sanyo Eneloops Are Still #1
People that already use them know how great they are. Forget all the other NiMH batteries, these are #1 after all these years. I've tried all sorts of different batteries and cells. The best ones are always the ones that are made in Japan, but even then these are the best of the crop.
AT&T, What Are You Thinking?
Sure, you (Cingular) helped to bring us the iPhone when the other carriers wouldn't put their trust in Apple. You gave us the fastest 3G data speeds for a while. You even attempted to give us an unlimited data plan for an unheard of price with the announcement of the first iPad.
But your cell tower coverage is seriously lacking. I get at least one dropped call a day, and I had to get my own Microcell just so that I could get reception at home. You took away the unlimited data plan from the iPad less than two months since launch.
Now Verizon has the iPhone too, and their 4G LTE speeds leave your 3G in the dust. You have just limited your unlimited data plan you promised to us early iPhone adopters by throttling it. You are threatening to bill us for tethering our data plans. That's like the cable company asking us to pay for each tv we hook up in our house. Your cell coverage still sucks.
Explain to me again why I should stay loyal to you when my contract is up?
So I'm Now a Bridal Shower Crasher
Last week I crashed a friend's bridal shower. Nobody expected me - heck I didn't even expect me. I just snuck in behind the bride to be, and started snapping pictures. Good times. Check out the video.
How I Make Fast French Fries - Use A Mandoline Slicer!

I realized I just showed how I get them all sliced up - that's usually the most tedious part by hand. So here are a few more steps in case you aren't going all healthy and using the T-fal Acti-Fry
- Dry off the fries - I just let them sit for a little while with the fan running. If your'e impatient, just blot them down with a clean cloth.
- Setup your fryer to 300-325 degrees, and batch fry them till they've all been in the fryer like 30 seconds or so.
- Set them aside and let them cool down a little while you then set the fryer to 400 degrees.
- Now run those fries through the fryer till they're golden.
- Take out, let the oil drain off, and season with your favorite seasonings and enjoy!

Roku 2 is Out and Now Has Angry Birds and Smug Pigs!
The Roku 2 is now smaller, more energy efficient, with more channels, bluetooth for a game controller for now, and for the first time, introduces games such as Angry Birds! But, most importantly, for me, it has Hulu!

Do You Like Energy Drinks and Saving the Environment?
Sodastream makes a remarkably similar energy drink syrup for their Soda Stream system. If that's part of your daily routine, this will easily save you hundreds of dollars. If you just drink soda... well you don't save as much money, but you do get to make healthier drinks and cut down on environmental waste.
I saw and tested this at a Bed Bath and Beyond, and it's pretty impressive. They've been around for a long time - in fact I think one of my language teachers used to have one in the 90s.
