White Apple of Death

| 6 Comments
There is nothing more frustrating as a consumer than being told what you are experiencing and describing is not happening or isn't real.  Many early iPhone 3G adopters have been reporting terrible White Apple of Death screens as the iPhone 3G completely locks up and becomes unresponsive and we feel brushed away by Apple as delusional wackos in need of censoring.  We are upset and we are angry and we're not going to take it anymore!

Stott Pilates Reformer Review

| 2 Comments
The Stott Pilates reformer is an expensive salve for the body rounding up at a hefty $2,600.00USD -- but if you can get past the gutter delivery and get the thing inside your home -- the Stott Pilates Reformer is a big, heavy, one-hundred-pound, winner.

We all know technology can kill us -- but we must learn to leave behind our current, menacing, totems if we ever hope to stretch into the future of us to create a cleaner and quieter world. There is an idiotic move afoot to make electric cars as noisy as their prehistoric gas-guzzling ancestors.

There is no substitution for being clearly understood in an emergency situation.  It is honoring that truth that led Janna and me to invent sosASL.com as a free online portal for urgent, living and dying, communication between first responders and the Deaf.

Amanda Beard is a United States Olympic swimmer.  She's good in the water, but in print, she's barely tolerable as a sexual siren wannabee.  There's nothing harder to witness than an unsuccessful seller of sexuality failing at her primary directive:  Love me, Daddy, because I'm overly airbrushed and sensual.
