| Stay Out of Trouble
I think this gadget is ingenious. It may be too late for me, but every male who is engaged may want to consider one of these babies. Apparently, it only handles one date right now, but conceivably the firmware on this bad boy can be updated to store other important dates...
 The
Remember Ring has a special nagging feature, using its "Hot Spot"
technology that warms up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 seconds,
every hour, on the hour, beginning 24 hours before that "special day,"
apparently honoring the anniversary of your voluntary servitude. That's
supposed to be warm enough to be uncomfortable but not hot enough to
burn you. The Remember Ring converts the heat from your hand into
electricity using a micro-thermo pile, keeping that battery charged and
its heat-bomb clock ticking away, ready to burn you again next year.

| For some reason, when my wife goes out of town, I always end up
overexerting myself whether it be playing sports or going out.
This past weekend my wife was at her sister's bachelorette party so I
had the weekend to myself.
Friday night, I went out to eat with A + S at Dish Dash. While
dinner ended and I was at home by 9:30, for some reason I ended up
staying up till 2am.
Saturday morning, I got up, lifted weights for an hour and then headed
over to Stanford to run. When I got to the oval, I noticed people
were playing Ultimate so I joined them and played for about 2.5
hours. Met up with A + S again to grab some jamba and then
headed to dinner at Darda Seafood with a group of 8 people. After
dinner several of us decided to go to a party at Blush. Evidently
it was Dave Lu's birthday (whoever that is). Actually I got to
meet the guy and he seemed like a really cool guy but don't ask me
questions about what he looks like because I ended up getting
wasted. Good thing S was there to drive us all home because there
was no way in hell I could've made it home. Y and I ended up
crashing at A + S's place because we passed out. My last memory
was S helping me down the stairs to a room. Man, I can't
remember the last time I got wasted. Its been a long time though
not an experience I wish to repeat on a regular basis.
Following morning, we all got up and headed to McDonalds for some
breakfast and then got together later to watch Kicking and Screaming at
Mercado.
I would like to thank S for dealing with 3 drunk guys the entire
night. I would also like to yell at E + P for saying that they
were going to go to the party but instead decided to have a Blockbuster
night...

| So we are doing a bunch of remodeling in our office at my work.
Basically we are converting a significant portion of the office to a
customer only area. During this construction, the office manager
has asked that we offer up suggestions to other things we could
change. Before I tell you about my suggestion, let it be
known that the company has only 6 females in the entire company and
between them 5 toilet stalls. Meanwhile 80 males have to share 3
toilets.
Dear Office Manager,
As you know, there is a severe discrepancy between the
number of males to females in the company as the males outnumber the
females 10-1. The reverse discrepancy is true of the bathroom
situation at the company as there are 5 toilets for women and only 3
for men. Given these ratios, a woman at the company can
almost spend her entire day going to the bathroom without ever having
to wait. Honestly I'm surprised that each of their stalls don't
have name tags on them. Granted, females go to bathroom a lot,
but the situation is absolutely ridiculous. I won't even mention
the discrepancy in restroom ambience. Where is the potpourri and
hand lotion in the mens bathroom eh? Anyways, I would like to
suggest a drastic cutback in bathroom utilization for the women.
I think its fair to provide only 2 stalls for women and 6 for the
guys. I would also appreciate potpourri and lotion for the mens
room as well.
Sincerely,
John Doe

| A cheeky Spanish designer has developed a washing machine called the
‘Your Turn’ which uses a fingerprint sensor to determine who has to do
the chores next. It seems like the kit can be retrofitted to most
washing machines, and inventor Pep Torres would like to continue to add
features, like a lock that prevents the door from opening.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. [Additional
content edited out for marital reasons]. I believe in equal
division of the chores within the household...

| Tried to get DSL today. SBC Yahoo is having a promotion where if
you sign up now you can get DSL service for only 19.95 a month.
So I'm on the phone with the SBC representative to get my account
setup. After about 15 minutes of answering questions, he finally
tells me that the cost is 26.95 a month. WTF?? So I ask him
about the 19.95 a month promotion. Turns out that the
promotion is only valid if you sign up online. The sales rep then
tells me to hang up and sign up online. Oh ok, simple
enough. Then I realize that I fricken don't have DSL yet so how
can I possibly sign up online!!! Alas, so I'm at work now trying to
sign up. These guys are clever bastards. You have to have
internet service to get a cheaper rate on your internet service...
