Great deal on a USB charger
Maybe I’m too much of a gadget freak, but I realized a couple days ago that many of the gizmos I own have a USB cable. I’ve got an old Clie PDA, an iPod, a digital camera, and now a PSP.
So it occurred to me that most of these gizmos don’t just use the […]
May have just overdosed on Tylenol
Well not really Tylenol, it’s the Kroger generic equivalent to extra-strength Tylenol. See I’m at work right now, and my neck is still bothering me a bit. Not as bad as it was over the weekend, but still it hurts enough to be distracting.

Ionic Breeze device is bad for your health
Hah, I always wondered about the high levels of ozone that little Ionic Breeze spits out. According to Consumer’s Union, it’s a dangerous amount of ozone.

Closed captioning people need a spell-checker
So I was at the YMCA this afternoon, and the TV was tuned in to CBS News where they were talking about the death of Pope John Paul II. Now of course I couldn’t actually hear the TV–they were playing the regular gym-type music over the speakers. But the TV did have closed-captioning turned […]
CNN adds actual shows to Headline News
In a very weird move, CNN has added individual shows to their Headline News network. From 7 to 10 p.m. ET instead of running headline news they have shows, like taking the Showbiz Tonight segment and blowing it up into a full one-hour show.
I think it’s bad–Headline News is the network you turn to for […]
