“You’re a Phony, a Big Fat Phony! Hey Everybody, He’s a Phony!”
I know that China is the home of iPhone rip-offs and lead-filled Colgate, but it appears that their duplicity and fakery don’t end with electronics and domestic household products. China admitted faking the opening fireworks of the Olympic Opening Ceremony as well as faking the voice of the cute little singer who sang their national song. And, to anyone who has watched the Chinese women gymnasts, it appears blatantly obvious that several of their gymnasts are well under 16 years old, the age required to participate in the Olympics. Shoot, one of them looks barely seven and a half and appears to have not lost all of her baby teeth. It’s pretty disappointing to see a country so bent on image and victory that they are willing to cast their...
Mountain Lion Drags Dog out of Owner’s Bedroom
Crazy story, this is a small front range town just southwest of the Denver area. I go mountain biking in this area all the time. A mountain lion slunk into the master bedroom of an Idledale home early Monday, snatched a yellow Labrador retriever and vanished.

There were dogs sleeping in the bedroom when the mountain lion...

Apple is like a gorgeous girl who gives you an STD
No one can deny that the Macbook Air is an incredibly hot piece of aluminum encased circuitry. Its sensuous curves beckon you with a nearly irresistible force, but if you succumb to its sultry charms you’ll find, albeit several months later, that you have a nasty case of the Digital Clap. That’s right. The locked down battery and sealed case (effectively preventing upgrades) is akin to a disease gotten by ignoring reason and self-control and instead acting on sheer desire and impulsive passion. Practice restraint, practice safe computing— Don’t buy the Macbook...
iPhone
Some have accused me of throwing my phone against the wall to bring about its demise. Not true. My old phone died of old age. I have, however, taken this opportunity to get a new iPhone. I actually wrote this post from my iPhone using the hot new wphone plugin for wordpress. Works good so far…
