The Slick Marketing Of Nothing
It seems like everything these days has to be a nice product all put together in slick packaging complete with a slick marketing campaign, even if all three elements are essentially fake. I know this is an older video from Youtube, but I couldn’t help but think of this video the other day. If you like great tasting water and like to pay for the privilege then this video is for you. Enjoy.
Enjoy The Traffic
I just did some surfing through Youtube and I came across this really funny video of a Toyota car commercial in Mexico City. This had both my wife and I laughing out loud. Hopefully this can give you a nice chuckle as well.
At the end of the video, it says to enjoy the traffic. I really wish heavy traffic was really that much fun.
Five Of My Favorite Tech Gadgets
I love technology and the gadgets that can change our lives. I love how a little electronic gadget can help us get more work done or be able to accomplish things that easier than ever before. I am sure we all have our own list of favorite gadgets, but I decided to make a list of my 5 favorite gadgets, only these are focused on simplicity.
1) My Motorola L6. It’s a simple phone and it works. It’s durable. I have my GMail on it so I can check and send email no matter where I am. It sure beats lugging around a blackberry. If I pair it with my laptop, I can literally work the net wherever I am/
2) My Creative Zen Mp3 player. It’s small and easily tucks aways so I can listen to music whenever I want, or even the radio.
3) My Casio Wristwatch. How can a watch be a gadget? Well, they were the original gadgets. 
It’s durable and it’s exactly how I like.
4) My Casio Scientific Calculator. I always need a calculator at work, so I just whip it and it handles everything easily and without a lot of flair.
5) My HP IPaq. It’s only a base IPaq and I mainly use it to read ebooks that I carry when I go out and do any kind of traveling.
What are your 5 Favorite Simple Gadgets?
How To Silk Screen Print Your Own Shirts
I have always been interesting in learning new skills. My wife was talking with me the other day about possibly doing silk screen shirts to sell at the flea market on the weekends for extra money. I always thought that making silk screen shirts would be difficult until I came across this video.
It’s a great tutorial on the process involved in silk screening shirts. The tutorial is pretty straightforward, but I do suggest watching it a couple of times to get in all of the information. There is a lot to take in, but once you do, it’s all good. I suggest trying it out on a few shirts before you think about doing it as a full time business.
Anyways, enjoy the tutorial video.
Chocolate Price Collusion
Allegations are flying that Nestle, Hershey and Mars in Canada have been colluding together to fix the prices on chocolate. At least that’s what the allegations say. So why is this in the Funny News category? Because of where they met to exchange pricing information.
It turns out representatives of the three companies would meet at coffee shops and restaurants where they would exchange the pricing information needed to fix the wholesale prices of chocolate. The idea is to keep the price of chocolate high. I can just see it now…. meeting in the coffee shop:
“Dude have you got the goods?”
“Yes, I got the good stuff right here.”
“Ok dude, but don’t let anyone see you give me the envelope.”
With so many free and anonymous emails, why not just send an email? Why all the cloak and dagger just to fix the prices of chocolate. It sounds chocolate trade is like the drug trade.
