Just a bunch of nerdiness and fun... albiet some times goofy, childish posts. All mixed together with cool stuff I find around the interwebs.

The Mute Watch
This is an awesome watch that uses a touch screen and LEDs to tell the time and set alarm clocks. Also, it’s called the mute watch cause the watch VIBRATES instead of an audible alarm! It will also know when you are asleep, due to lack of movement, and increase the vibration intensity. So no more waking up the loved one sleeping next to you cause of a loud alarm. Check out the photo below.
People who carry on high-volume conversations on their cellphones in public places are the worst. THE. WORST. Which makes Lakeysha Beard the worst of the worst of the worst. For sixteen solid hours after she boarded an Amtrak train in Oakland, KATU.com reports, she yapped loudly into her goddamned phone. SIXTEEN HOURS. And she was sitting in a designated “quiet car.” After several passengers asked her, pleaded with her — begged her just out a sense of basic human decency — to stop yelling at the top of her lungs into the greasy little piece of plastic wedged inside her clammy paw, she completely ignored them. Then, a passenger who had reached the breaking point finally mustered the courage to stand up to her. So Beard “got aggressive.” But wait! There’s a happy ending! These things never have happy endings, but this one does! Conductors stopped the train in Oregon, where hero members of the Salem Police Department were waiting to escort Beard off the train. She’d later say she felt “disrespected” by their medal-worthy actions, and didn’t understand why they did the absolutely wonderful, completely appropriate thing they did. She was later charged with unspeakable crimes against humanity and sentenced to life on some distant planet where there are no reception bars, ever. (Or maybe it was just a disorderly conduct charge.) [KATU, screengrab via KATU.com]

I’m surprised I never thought of this before: a whale tissue holder. It makes so much sense, the tissue “comes out” of the whale’s blowhole. Oh the cleverness of Etsy! [Etsy via NOTCOT]The Whale Tissue Holder Is Ridiculously Cute
The Seven Types of iPhone Users
Are there only seven types of iPhone owners like there are only seven types of Best Buy employees? I guess so! Well, what about the child iPhone user who just plays game and leaves your screen all gooey? That makes 8.
