GW likes to take a couple people with him whenever he travels…
…as he should be doing. He’s the PRESIDENT for crying out loud. And some people say this is excessive.

EyelessWriter.com called Verizon Wireless 56 times and asked 2 simple questions. Out of all 56 people, only 1 actually answered both questions correctly. In fact, the reps were wrong 93% of the time. That’s a lot. I’m a Verizon Wireless customer and I’ve found them to make up numbers every once in a while, but this is ridiculous.
Actually, after thinking about this for a while it seems that the problem isn’t only that employees can be clueless, but that they were trained improperly. When the correct answer was $0.002 (2 tenths of a cent), most of the answers had a 2 and some zeros, but the decimal was in the wrong place. The reps who answered correctly said “point zero zero two dollars“. Perhaps that’s how they were trained to say it. But since the question was “how many cents” some of the reps probably messed up the decimal. I’m not trying to make excuses for them, though. 93% incorrect is absolutely horrible. Inexcusable. Horrendous. Substandard. Mediocre. Negligent. Incompetent. Yet strangely funny.

This video was actually aired on November 1, 2006. Imagine what technological advancements have come in the past year, and what “they” can do now…

The iPhone is coming in about 5 minutes from when I’m writing this, and Gizmodo.com is doing a live unboxing at 6:15. And Engadget.com has live-updated, multi store in this post.
omg I can’t wait, not that I’m crazy enough topay that much for one, but it looks cool (shiney = good, shiney + Apple Logo = ****ing awesome). And I heard that the firts things the Apples stores will do when they get the shipments is a firmware update to add some last minute functionality like picture messaging. Cool. Kind of like what the Wii and PS3 did; they begged for an update the moment you got them out of the box and onto the internet.
Hey! I just updated the Engadget page and it says they’re letting the first guy buy one in an AT&T store in Montague, St. Brooklyn!

lol. Tip number 2:
Know rookie tendencies. The World Rock Paper Scissors Society claims rookie men tend to lead with rock. If you’re playing a spontaneous game against a male rookie, there’s an increased chance that his opening throw will be rock, so you’ll want to go with paper. Why do men start with rock? Perhaps the clenched fist evokes power and makes guys feel tough. If you’re playing a female rookie, however, keep in mind that competitive player Jason Simmons claims that women tend to start with scissors, so go with rock.
The “World Rock Paper Scissors Society”. Hilarious. Insightful, though. Next time I play RPS I’m starting with ’scissors’.

I found this video at http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=11601 of this crazy plane landing in Honduras. “Don’t be afraid”? Yeah right! This is crazy!

A Roomba with a lasersight and AirSoft gun, and wireless camera, controlled by radio signals from a PC. It won’t be long now before some guy decides to hook up a real handgun in its place…
Ahhh, the beginning of the end for mankind…

The new Xbox360 Elite isn’t supposed to be available for purchase until April 29, but one lucky guy was able to get one. Some stupid (and yet godly at the same time) Target employee sold the lucky duckling one, and yes, he’s selling it on EBay. The current bid is $810, and rising fast. So for only about 300+ extra dollars, you too can get an Xbox360 Elite 1 week early.
