Shh... you have hibernation sickness....
Imagine if Darth Vader used this instead. Return of the Jedi would have been much shorter with Han reappearing on Bespin when Leia remotely frees him from the Carbonite. But then we wouldn't have slave Leia costumes. So thank you George Lucas for giving us slave Leia... but it still doesn't make up for Jar Jar.

Audio Technica ATH-ANC7B
Much like all the names of all the unemployed tech-workers I met at that "networking event" last week, I'll never remember the name of this pair of Audio Technica headphones. It's intangible nomenclature doesn't detract from the fact that it is the second best pair of noise-cancelling headphones that I've ever tried (The first being a pair of $300 ( Read more... ) -
The gift I keep on giving...
No existential blah-blah here... just being a sheep in the commercialization of a religion which funny enough has a regular role in the salvation of our economy.

Oddly enough, while I love to follow all the new tech, I've become a bit of a late adopter. New stuff is damn pricey ( Read more... ) -

Identity Theft
A friend of the family recently received a notice from the IRS that she owed over $2,000 in back taxes for gambling and investment income that was earned in 2007. Since I have been filing her taxes for the past few years, I know that the IRS is mistaken and that the extra income is bullshit ( Read more... ) -
Freddy Fung
I am told that Freddy was born on Tuesday, September 29, 1981 in Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic; about 1,650 miles away from Boston. On that Tuesday, Barack Obama was still fresh out of High School and was a sophomore majoring in Political Science at Columbia University. On that Tuesday, the Red Sox would win 7-2 ( Read more... )
