Technology Makes Me Proud

-
There are moments when I see some new technological gadget that just makes me so damn proud to live in this world. I've seen a lot of it this past week, in fact.

It started when I saw a report about the new Nike + iPod in the Free Press this past Monday. The very idea that my shoes and my iPod could somehow work together to make me a better person (or at least a person that is in better shape) is so damn cool.

After that comes news that GM, Ford and Mazda will finally intergrate the iPod into their cars. (I mean, gee, the folks over at Volkswagen only did this - what, 2 or 3 years ago?)

And then I find out that the folks at LG have introduced a new line of cell phones that include a built-in breathalyzer. (Oh, the shame of drunk-dialing this will save a fortunate few from.)


Plus, since it's a handy part of your cell phone - something that most Americans carry with them at all times - you can not only save yourself, but it's easier to keep your friends from doing really studid things as well.

I am so glad that I live in the 21st century!

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.
