Sharper Image Human Touch Massage Chairs Look Familiar [Sharper Image]: "
Reader Tim points out that this massage chair, seen at Sharper Image, looks really familiar. You know, we think he's right, but we can't quite get a grasp on it. We just hope they keep on selling these things even after their stores close—you know, for the human touch. Seriously, it's like on the tip of our tongue. What is this thing? It's gotta be staring us right in the eye. [Thanks Tim!]

Free Replacements Available For NC Residents With "WTF" License Plates: "
So the folks at the North Carolina DMV just now caught wind of things called 'texting' and 'the interwebs' and learned that the license plates they were issuing that started with 'WTF' had a deeper, darker, what the fuckier side.
Last year, state officials notified nearly 10,000 holders of license plates with the letter combination 'WTF' that they could get a replacement at no charge after officials learned that the combination is a common acronym in text messaging for a vulgar phrase, 'What the ...'
WTF was the first random letter combination available when DMV switched from blue- to red-lettered plates. DMV spokeswoman Marge Howell received a sample plate WTF-5506 to use as a prop for news stories about the switch.
But while tracking down the errant plates, no one at the Division of Motor Vehicles checked their own Web site. 'WTF-5505' is shown as a sample of a personalized plate.
Since I've missed a couple weeks, I'm going to give you a couple words. It only seems fair.

Go-Go Gadget with New Inspector Gadget Pics [Inspector Gadget]: "
New pictures of everyone's favorite cyborg inspector are out thanks to Action-Figure. No telling when or where the new cartoon will air, but let's hope this is an effort to bring back Saturday morning line-up of great cereal-munching toons. Click through to see new pictures of ass-kicking Penny and a her heavy artillery. Looks like we're in for a treat with a few new Inspectors, but there is a noticeable canine lack — where's everyone's favorite pup Brain?

Yes, there was a week without posts. I was without my computer. I'll get back to the word of the weeks next week. I promise.
You gotta see these glasses. Definitely be sure to click through and see all of them. The only one I don't really understand is Lust. Do you have to lick it?
Seven Deadly Glasses Will Tease, Tempt You With Sinful Wine [Sinful]: "
In vino peccatus... perhaps the saying should go like this, given the kind of hangover a bottle of wine can result in. And designer Kacper Hamilton might well agree. His Seven Deadly Glasses wine glasses are meant to physically represent each sin. So there's the phallic Pride glass, contrasting with the curly Greed glass—that hangs on to a few sips in its tentacles—and Sloth, which needs someone else to drip-feed you the good stuff. Check out the gallery to see the full range of designs: they're pretty intriguing.
Each glass's sin is 'revealed through the ritual of drinking,' says Kacper, adding that the glasses are designed to encourage 'the user to be sinful in a theatrical fashion.' Presumably throwing up theatrically after imbibing too much is entirely up to you, with no help from art or design.
If you're in London between June 12th and 19th, you can see the glasses being exhibited at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design Degree Show. And if you like them, you can order one of the limited edition sets. They come in a mahogany, velvet and brass case, so expect the price to be pretty sinful too.

I walked in to the Broadway Roastery today, and what did I see but a man with a 17" iMac sitting at a table. You heard me right. An iMac! Check it out! 
Sorry bout the picture quality, but all I had was my iSight.
This post is for all my nerdy friends in chemistry, chemical engineering, or whatever. I found this on YouTube, and knew it was the best thing I'd seen all afternoon!
Cheers!

Image via WikipediaSo I read about this extension for Firefox called Zemanta. And I thought I'd give it a try. Essentially, what it does it takes an account of what I've written in each post, and suggests links, pictures, and articles that I may find of interest and share in my blog. So, really, I'm just testing this out riht now, but we'll have to see.
Ah, there you go, see. Zemanta suggested I use this image of Firefox, which, if you ask me, is kinda dumb. But, I didn't have anything else. It'd probably be better if I actually had something to write. Well, I guess I'll have to do that next time. Because this post has no other purpose at all.
Later, folks
