What the..

Okay - so technology has been used to accomplish some amazing things.

Science put a man on the moon and it treats illnesses that just a few years ago would've been hopeless.

We've learned to break the sound barrier and communicate with one another across the not-so-vast distance that has become cyberspace.

But some technological advances just make me wonder what the heck the inventor was thinking.

I can't believe it, but someone has actually managed to take the concept of wearable computing and used it to create shirts that enable their wearers to send "hugs" to one another remotely. With this shirt on, you would actually feel it if someone send you a "hug".

The shirt itself is Bluetooth enabled. The orange ovals on the shirt are actuators where you would feel the warmth, pressure and heartbeat of the person who sent you this "hug."

This idea seems both cute and scary at the same time. Now that we've reach this point, you know it's only a matter of time before someone incorporates this idea into underwear instead of shirts.

And that will only take the concept of cyber-sex to a whole new level.

Hayley Williams Flashes Twitter

I have to confess, I had no idea who Hayley Williams  was prior to this morning nor did I have any idea who the band Paramore was. In fact, now that I do know, I'm not all that certain that I really care about Paramore. But I digress. The thing is, sometime last night, Hayley Williams' Twitter account was reportedly hacked. This resulted in a photo of Hayless Williams topless making its way onto the internet. Hayley Williams insists that it was a simple security breach. Personally, I can't help but feel that this smells too much like a publicity stunt. Either way, the photo is out there and a lot more people suddenly know who Hayley Williams is - coincidence or not. Oh, and yes - it has taken an enormous amount of restraint for me to not show the uncensored version of that photo.

I was surfing the web last night, looking for more news on Kristen Bell . I came across this post on TMZ.com about Kristen at the beach . They were critical of the photo of her to the left, but admired her in the one to the right. I don't care what the folks at TMZ say. Granny shades or not. Hair up or down. Kristen Bell looks darn hot.

33 Women in 2 Weeks?

James Hunt James Hunt  was the Formula One champion in back 1976 - a time long before I was paying any attention to either women or cars. According to a new biography by Tom Rubython , during a two week binge while in Tokyo that year, James Hunt and his friend Barry Sheene  each had sex with thirty three different flight attendants. And yes, that's thirty three women each. Over the course of fourteen days. An average of a little more than two stewardesses per day. James Hunt and Barry Sheene set the bar high (or low) for an outstanding summer vacation.
