just to break my own fall

Dec 1

Almonds are HELLA fatty. Sadness.

Post has nothing to do with almonds, except I just looked at the nutrition facts of this one package that I plucked from my office’s kitchen cabinets and now I have half a mind to return it to its safe, fatty, cardboard box. And I thought nuts were supposed to be good for you.

(Sometimes I can hear the “That’s what she said!!” screamed at me even when there is nobody nearby.)

Anyway. Today I signed up to donate money every month to this human rights organization against Prop. 8! I feel like my moral task of the day is done. AND I get to feel slightly better about myself. No on HATE people!

What’s interesting is that I did this outside of Walmart. (I know! There IS a Walmart nearby! Closest one in Mountain View.) Walmart wasn’t very exciting. I like Target more.


Anyway. I’m sharing my geeky, gorgeous gadgets of the day:

1) BMW is using Microsoft’s Surface technology to help potential BMW owners in their purchasing decisions. Pretty damn cool! There’s a video after the link.

2) It’s a Lemon Clock!

It’s a clock that’s digitally powered by lemons! “When life hands you lemons and a lemon powered clock, most people would just make lemonade and get the time from the microwave. But some of us will put lemons on our clock, and through the sour sucking power of citrus, attract fruit flies until we give up this novelty clock design.”

3) Revolver Ring

If someone were to ask me to marry them and hand me one of these, I’d definitely shoot them. And then anybody else around me because I’d be both a) angry and b) fascinated with such an awesome finger weapon. Not sure if it actually works though.

4) Glass Speakers

Apparently it took three years, eight months, and 23 subcontractors to get these babies through. It costs $168,000 and given all that work, it probably needs to. They’re heat resistent, but I’m not sure if that’ll help the glass from shattering and killing anybody within listening range. Ooh, maybe it could be one of those gifts where you give it to somebody you are actually trying to assassinate. Maybe.
