Burn, baby burn.

Trader Joe's sweet pickled jalapenos in a vodka martini is not a bad thing at all.  I do recommend you try it.

Jalop: RIP, Kenny Baker

That's... just foolish.

This must be one of the silliest ideas I've seen yet as regards smart-watches.

I can't say that I've ever thought to myself "Gee, I wish I could have uncomfortable, lumpy things strapped to my wrist at every possible angle so I can never rest my arms on my desk".

I wear a watch - it's a Timex with a NATO band that I've rotated so that all the hardware is well up and away from any part of my arm that will touch anything else - it's the only way to fly, really.  I can't imagine wanting to encumber my wrist to that extent.

BUT: if it wasn't for the hilariously ludicrous $210 price tag, I could finally get a pair of watch bands sized for my <4-year-old children.  ...which is also something I have never actually found a need for.

Lay's "Szechuan Chicken"-flavored potato chips are not particularly tasty.  Please let this serve as a warning to you.

Nice way to start your day.

It's a rare day when you wake up and find an email from your wireless provider saying "Hey - we're cutting our rates.  Have a nice day".

If those sound good to anybody and you feel like trying Ting, I do have a referral link you can use that's good for a $25 credit on your account (or $25 off of a new phone from the Ting store, however you want it).  I have zero qualms about recommending Ting to anybody with fairly moderate data needs.
