Enough gadgets already!

How many tech and gadget blogs are enough?  It seems like every month a new tech blog pops up screaming for readers.  Don’t you think the market is already flooded with blogs and websites that generate the same boring content?  I can narrow the list down to the five most important ones you’ll ever need.

.

1. Engadget
2. Gizmodo
3. Boing Boing
4. Lifehacker
5. Cnet

So please people, stop creating new tech gadget sites before people’s heads explode.  Ouch, my head hurts…

It would of been interesting to see Nick Cage play as Slim, though I’m kind of relieved he’s no longer doing this role.  I think it would of been more of the same lame Cage acting style.  I’m curious to see who they will eventually cast.  Truthfully, though, I’d rather see a movie about the life of the legendary Doyle Brunson.  Now that would be a movie I’d go see!

Douchebag

Also known as “urban backpackers” these douchebags take a backpack with them everywhere they go.  They also have the instinctual ability to find and hang out with other backpackers, yet do not socially interact.  This is most likely due to them wanting to retain their sense of individuality and uniqueness, but really it just makes them more of a douchebag.

Where can you find these urban backpackers?  They are mostly found around coffee shops, bookstores, malls, or pretty much any place you once thought was a great place to hang out but not anymore because now they hang out at these places.

Do you really need to take a backpack everywhere you go?  What if I just needed to buy milk at the store?  Doesn’t matter.  Gotta take my backpack!  What do they put in their backpack?  That’s the big mystery because you never actually see them pulling stuff out.  I can make an accurate guess as to what’s in those backpacks…granola bars, ky jelly, and some dildos.

All I can say to all those urban backpackers is this…grow some balls and ditch the backpack.  You don’t need to take it everywhere you go!  You’re not going to starve to death in a metropolitan area.  You don’t need survival supplies if you get lost.  Search and rescue crews will not be deployed.  All you’re doing is just pissing people of with your presense;  including me.

Twitter Logo

Apparently, some guy named Jim Yeager has the twitter account name yeags.  It doesn’t look like he uses it, so is it too much to ask if he could transfer it to me?

Give me a break, people.  Ok, granted I didn’t care too much for Bush, but Obama isn’t much better.  The film makers take news stories and bits of facts and over inflate them into crazy, over-the-top conspiracy theories.  As absurd as the film is, watch it and see what you think.  Some information is interesting, but these guys take everything way too far.

Taking Forever

It’s a rare sight these days, but when it happens, you start cursing to yourself and ask “why me?” Who the hell uses checks anymore? Checks are ancient relics that should be displayed in museums. It’s not enough that these people take their sweet ass time writing out the check, but that they have the audacity to fill out and calculate their balance sheet as well. Jesus people. Just whip out that piece of plastic called a debit card and swipe it. Done. However some people can’t even get that right. I’ve had old ladies in front of me try to figure out how to use their damn debit cards and it takes just as long if not longer than writing out their damn checks. Now that pisses me off.

I remember when ads first started appearing in videos.  They were separate videos that ran before, during or after the actual video you wanted to watch.  These were only a minor irritation because you could easily just hit the “next chapter” button and skip the ad entirely.  Then programmers had become total douches by disabling the chapter skip buttons.  That pissed me off.  After that, whenever I wanted to watch a video I’d look through the html code and find the actual filename, download it and watch it without interruption.  Nowadays you can’t even do that.  They have things locked down so well you have no choice but wait through those agonizing 15 seconds of bullshit.

The pop-up ads like the ones youtube shows pisses me off even more, though.  I mean honestly, if you’re watching a how-to/tutorial/DIY type of video where there is a lot of important information constantly flying at you you find yourself having to rewind the video because the ad pop-up broke your concentration.  If you advertisers are going to steal my attention like that, the least you could do is offer something enticing like “Would you like a free disease-free high-class hooker?”  Don’t mind if I do.  But I digress.
