Random Thoughts...

Whew!  February's really over.  I thought I'd never make it through the month with so many commitments and issues to deal with.  First off, I committed to making at least one post on my blog for each day of the month.  I got that one.  I have more than 30 posts on my blog for February.  Pressure, yes, but it turned out doable.  Although, to be honest, I was nearly running out of ideas.  hahaha...

Then there are the personal issues I'm dealing with.  Too many that I feel so stressed out and unable to sleep right.  Drinking alcohol isn't helping out.  The ants in the kitchen aren't helping out any, either.  Every time I clean the kitchen they disappear.  But put anything, anything at all, on the kitchen counter and they show up in swarms that makes me wonder if they can even actually get anything from whatever I put on the counter.  For heaven's sake, it's just a clean plate!
Money issues, bah!  I can live without food for days without any serious detriment to my mental faculties or physical well being.  Not that I'm starving or what.  Just that things are tight right now and I have to watch my expenses.  Every cent counts these days.

On other fronts, tech wise, I've managed to work my laptop into such a heat that it has shutdown on me 6 times within the whole month.  That's a record for me, to be sure.  I've never had it shutdown on me due to overheating in the past 5 months or so but in February alone, 6 times.  Wow, e?  Even my laptop gives from all the stress coming my way.

How about you?  How did your month of love go for you?  Any love come your way?

CityScape: Frienster Addict?

Or another one of those copycat things our culture seems to spawn a lot of?  It might have been a lot better if they used fezbook or something new-ish.  Friendster's considered to be such a has-been.  I wonder what the owners were thinking of...

Office Cooler

With not much to do or write and me perusing my old photo uploads on my Flickr account, I saw this and wondered...  If our office had this, would it help our staff to be calmer and cooler with customers?  Will it bring the stress levels in the office down considerably?  More importantly, will it bring down our absenteeism levels to zero?  Hmmm...  What do you think?

Fact: Bored to Death

via Slashdot by samzenpus on 2/8/10

A study conducted by researchers at University College London shows that boredom can kill you. The researchers found that people who reported feeling a great deal of boredom were 37 per cent more likely to have died by the end of the study. Martin Shipley, who co-wrote the report said, "The findings on heart disease show there was sufficient evidence to say there is a link with boredom."

Cell phone has built in cigarette lighter

Wanna light?  Let me get my phone...

via CrunchGear by Doug Aamoth on 2/4/10

Straight out of China comes "The Machismo!" – billed as "the world's hottest cigarette lighter mobile phone." Does that mean there's more than one? Like, are there other, lesser, not-as-hot cell phones with built-in cigarette lighters? Nothing would surprise me after seeing this.

According to the product description on Chinavasion.com:

"The problem with modern life is you have to carry around too many things in your pockets. Wallet, keys, iPod, cellphone, and if you'! re a smoker – a cigarette lighter too. Well here's the perfect solution – The Machismo. Instead of carrying a phone AND a lighter, just turn this amazing phone around, slide open the safety latch, and the underlying heating element heats up in under 2 seconds. Place your cigarette on the glowing element and puff. Your cigarette is lit and you can enjoy your smoke. Super huh? Yes, Machismo!"

As a communications device, it's a triband GSM phone with dual SIM slots, a 2.5-inch touchscreen, 1.3-megapixel camera, and multimedia playback. And if you thought you had to spend a fortune for a phone that can light your cigarettes, buckle up. It's only $68.51, unlocked. That's less than two cartons of decent smokes here in the States.
