Bad Banana Is A Nice Place For Inspiration

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Yo checkit! Bad Banana be bad-ass!

In other words, I greatly enjoy the things I find on Bad Banana because it helps give me new ideas. It’s great fuel for lateral thinking and oblique approaches to creativity.

The Perfect Toilet For Drug Dealers

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Apparently, this toilet flushes anything. The bag of carrots, chess pieces, and magnetic letters serve to offer the same visual euphemisms as does blue water in maxipad commercials. Yet, there’s still something disturbing about watching all this go down the crapper. Where does it all go?

The Apple iPhone is funner than waterboarding

the Apple iPhone is probably much more fun than waterboarding

Is corporate hegemony the answer to the war on terror? Check this from the AP:

Mullah Abdul Salaam Zaeef is a former Taliban ambassador to Pakistan. He spent almost four years in Guantanamo. He wears a black turban, has a thick beard — and is never without his Apple iPhone.

So, that’s interesting, but what really caught my eye was this quote straight from Mullah Abdul Salaam Zaeef:

“I’m using the Internet with it. Sometimes I use it for the GPS to find locations.”

<cheek><tongue>Uhhhh, really? Because when I look at the picture, all I see is an iPhone version 1 … no GPS there, buddy. Come on Mr. Taliban, if “the country’s embrace of technology could help break the cycle of 30 years of relentless warfare,”  why aren’t you rocking the full power of that extra face sensor? I mean, don’t the Afghan people need a better example of harnessing the raw power of twice-the-speed-at-half-the-cost  awesomeness that is the iPhone 2? Or do you really like spending extra money because your old Sennheiser HD 280 Pros just won’t fit in that damn jack?

Well, I guess it is a start. Do yourself a favor, though, don’t waste your money; just buy a converter, because nobody buys that overpriced Monster Beats load of bull, even if does have Dre’s name on it. </tongue></cheek>
