I don’t consider myself an Apple “Fanboy,” but I do happen to like quite a few Apple Products. For me it’s not about just being blindly loyal to a company for the sake of being loyal (ie Fanboy-ish), but really just choosing to purchase products that I think are better and do what I want them to do. In college I didn’t like Apple’s products that much. My roommate had like a G3 iMac and was a big fan of Apple products. He kept trying to convince me to abandon my home built PC and drink the Apple Kool-Aid. At the time I wasn’t convinced. A few years later though after the release of Mac OSX and playing around with it I decided to jump ship from Windows XP (which was crashy and annoying) give Apple a chance.

I’m pretty bad at listening to lyrics. Often times I’ll hear one thing only to be shocked to find out it was something totally different (ie Rihanna’s “Disturbia” I heard is “The Story Life”). For my amusement I like to listen to lyrics and then on purpose twist them up to make it sound more messed up than originally intended.
A good example of this is Lady Gaga’s Poker Face. In the song she has a verse, “I’ll get him hot, show him what I got.” Here you can watch this verse below:

For the past 6 months…(or year?) I conducted a very simple social experiment. I changed my name on Facebook from Ben Tao to “O’malley Valdez” and then to “O’malley Valdez Madoff.”
Why? It all started out of boredom as I was playing around with Facebook settings. I happen to click on in the section where it says you can change your name. Facebook basically asks you for the name you are changing to so I typed in something ridiculous (I was kind of curious how crazy you could make them name before they would reject it), so off the top of my head “O’Mally Valdez” sounded good. Later on I decided to add “Madoff” to the end after I read about how Whoopi Goldberg’s real name was “Caryn Elaine Johnson” and her mom suggested in order for people to take her serious she should add a Jewish last name…so hence Goldberg. In my case I decided to choose a Jewish surname that would command respect and trust…hence “Madoff.”

I’m not a big fan of celebrity gossip and all that other Perez Hilton / TMZ stuff. I got nothing wrong with it, it’s just not where my interests lie. But every now and then I come across something which catches my attention.
The headline was “Rihanna Shows Off Her Nipple Ring” which was on Celebrity Jihad (which is probably the only gossip site I’ll read since it’s celebrity gossip written from an Islamic extremist’s perspective…no joke). I was curious so I decided to investigate further.
So if you took a look at you’ll see there’s a bunch of picture of Rihanna sporting her new hardware through a black mesh see through top. However, the nipple ring was not what got my attention. It was the carpet / towel creature she had draper over. Evidence below:

I was amazed to find that there was a Twitter for Dummies book out there…but then again there’s just about a [fill in the blank] for Dummies book for everything (my personal favorite is Cleaning Your Cat’s Litter Box for Dummies).
As you guys know I’m a SUPER BIG AWESOME-O BEST-EST Fan of Twitter (see my post I Truly Hate Twitter) and I’ve decided to jump on the Twitter book publishing bandwagon and am working on my own Twitter book titled Twitter IS For Dummies. Continue Reading »
I have to get something off my chest. It’s been bothering me for the past few months and I’ve been meaning to write about it, but hadn’t made the time. Better now than never. So here it goes…

It seems like more and more scams are welcoming themselves into my life recently. This one is probably one of the scumiest scams I’ve come across since it’s one of those scams which look convincingly realistic.

Apparently I have won a combined total of 1, 252,000 euros plus 2,500,000 dollars. I’m rich! The best part was I didn’t have to enter any contests or lottos. Just by using the internet and my “patronage of internet services” I was selected as the winnder. All I have to do is email the claims agent a bunch of personal information. What a great deal!! I bet you guys were wishing you were me. Don’t be jealous.
In case you don’t believe me checkout the email’s I received (I’ve crossed out the winning reference numbers since I don’t want you claiming prize)…Ok really do people really fall for this stuff? Continue Reading »

No one will argue the fact that the iPhone (in all its iterations) has been wildly successful. It’s a cool, slick looking, and useful phone. If it wasn’t for AT&T and their god awful data pricing plans, I might be tempted to buy one. Until then I’m sticking with my trusty super smart phone Continue Reading »
