More Cool Stuff

-
Okay - I really shouldn't spend so much time surfing the web. I keep finding so many cool products out there that I want to buy. At least this time, the two things that I found were relatively reasonably priced so I won't have to max out my credit cards buying them.

I found these cool stemless wine glasses at SurLaTable.com. I'm usually not a fan of stemless wine glasses so I would probably use them for something other than wine.

The cool thing about them though is that they settle the eternal debate as to whether the glass is half-empty or half-full. The glass has a line that delinates the exact middle of the glass. Above the line is the Italian word for optimist. Below the line is the Italian word for pessimist.

Those crazy Italians! Always giving me an excuse to keep my glass full.

I also got a huge kick out of the Lego ice cube tray that is available at Lego.com.

Not only can my glass tell the world whether I'm an optimist or a pessimist, but I can keep my drink cold with a playful sense of style using ice cubes shaped like the Lego building blocks that I used to play with as a kid.

I'm kind of tempted to experiment with food coloring to see if I can make my Lego ice cubes in a variety of different colors - just like the Legos that I had long ago.

Okay - so the moral of this story is that if I'm not able to make my IRA contribution for 2007, you will know why.

And you'll know that I'll spend my old age surrounded by lots of cool stuff.

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.

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.
