Preserve your Jack-O-Lantern

It's September so now is the time to start shopping for Halloween stuff.  You better get on this before they run out.  There is this stuff called Dr. Frybrain's Pumpkin Embalmer that I spoke about in September 2007 that I just updated with the new information.

It used to be that you had to buy this stuff through Jack-o-lanter.com but that site is gone.  Now you have to buy it directly from the source.

What you do is you put the water in a 5 gallon bucket, pour in the mixture and mix it up with a stick or large spoon then carve your pumpkin and soak it in the bucket for 24 hours.  When you pull your pumpkin out the next day it will be very wet and it will have this white film on it that you just rub off with a towel.  Your pumpkin can last for weeks instead of days.

I bought this stuff in 2007 and it was great.  The pumpkins didn't last a couple or few weeks but they did last longer than normal which is what 2 days?  I'd say they lasted maybe a week and half as opposed to 2 days so that was good.  I would recommend this product.

It used to be $7.99 plus shipping but now it's $5.99 plus shipping so you can at least save $2 now.  If you don't have an old 5 gallon bucket from an old painting job and you aren't willing to dumpster dive in a work site then you can buy a brand spanking new bucket from them for $5.99.

Harry Potter isn't the only one who can do magic

Check this baby out.  It's a universal remote control that you wave at the tv, vcr, dvd player etc and you can control the volume, channel up/down, power etc.

How it works is that you have to learn all of the commands like how to flick and swish and it makes the feather float, er um wait no that's not right.  But seriously you have to move the wand like harry potter to make it do stuff.

Yeah I think that would be great for a nerd like me but I don't think grandma and grandpa is going to like this very much especially with their arthritis.  Actually it's probably not the best thing for my carpel tunnel syndrome.

You can't beat the low price of $83 for this baby but I wouldn't suggest spending the money if you have ailments or a really bad memory.

Say you are watching scrambled porn and all of a sudden you hear your mom coming in your room, you have to scramble to find your wand then try to remember the command for changing the channel before she walks in.  She comes in and starts yelling at you for watching scrambled porn and then you say "MA, I'm A 40 YEAR OLD MAN LEAVE ME ALONE!"  Then of course she grounds you and you can't go to that Star Trek convention now.

AT&T says proper 'broadband' excludes online gaming

AT&T says proper 'broadband' excludes online gaming - Source Dvice.com

Click the link above to get the full story.  Basically what they are saying is that AT&T is saying that playing MMORPG games is an "aspirational service" which basically means they want to charge you more to play online games on top of the already high DSL cost that you pay every month.

If AT&T starts to tell me that if I want to play my MMORPG games that I have to pay an extra fee I'm gonna tell them to kiss me where the sun don't shine.  I'm gonna get my broadband service with my cable company which actually costs more but I would get a better internet connection.

It does bother me that they are trying to do that because it's like all they are thinking about is their pockets during a time that people are losing their jobs and this is the only thing they have to entertain them while they are trying to find a new job.

AT&T is already a rich company.  They've been around as long as I can remember as a long distance service before taking over SBC who took over Pac Bell.  If they take away my games I'm also going to get a new phone service because that's just pure BS.  I can get phone service with the cable company Bright House and see the Caller ID on my tv set which I think is better so I don't have to find the phone to know that I'm not going to pick it up lol.

Glowing Earbuds from the Future

Check out these earbuds from the future lol.  Read the link above.  You go to an audiologist and they put this gel into your ear and make a mold of the inside of your ear then send the molds to Sleek Audio who then create these glow in the dark earbuds for you.

I actually think it's neat because my earbuds are painful sometimes especially on the bike when they are ripped out of my ears by my leg lol.  These still plug in so maybe it's the same deal but probably more painful because they are the shape of my ear.

These kind of remind me of when musicians have their ear molded for their earpiece that they have to keep in their ears while on stage.

Oh and hey they already have my initials in the picture "MSM" so maybe they've already molded my ears and didn't tell me lol.  Can you imagine having your ear molded for earbuds?  Oh it's not cheap.  It's $375 so perhaps it's not the best product for this recession right now but maybe some day it might be better, say oh I don't know, the future?

I think for that price they should be bluetooth and you only need the plug when you are charging them.
