See my Porta-potty Arson Flickr set or read the SFist article “Porta-Potty Blaze Caught on Film” in which various comments like “Not buying it… it’s like Peter Parker taking a picture of Spiderman” and “He who dealt it smelt it” (A+) appear.

Will post a press contact to deal with my 2 minutes of internet fame shortly

When you do you’ll see the ugliest pair of shoes ever created.

My friend and coworker Star found these. It was hideous and horrible and funny enough to bring me out of my 4 months long nonblogging period.

Reasons I’ve been quiet:

1. I started a new job and it totally rules
2. I’ve been rearranging my house and social life
3. I can’t remember the password to my wireless router so I can’t do my usual and write a blog post from my laptop while sitting on the couch.

I need to rectify that router situation soon. Maybe even over the holidays, which means I’ll be back.

The melody is Full!

A quick cord unplug-replug and things were back in business.

In my defense, my wireless continued to work, while apparently the hub bit went offline. In any case, a simple fix.

Fuck you in your greedy heart, Babies R Us.

I am not spending an additional $1.95 to send a $250 gift certificate. You want my rather large amount of money, and you want egregiously high shipping and handling fees on top of it? I hope that’s working out well with the rest of your zombie customers, because you can eat me. Hard.

I’m taking my $ to amazon.

Check out his article about the game, and links to play.

I love etymotics - the ER6is have served me really well over the past few years, and my latest was a pair hacked with the iPhone cord to include the mic. Unfortunately, I dropped those headphones at a grocery store a few days ago, and they were instantly disappeared: Sadzies, and now dangerous/ticket-worthy since CA went mandatory hands-free July 1.

Anyway, why do I love the etymotics? The deep ear flange buds, which provide outstanding poor-man’s noise cancellation, and they stay put. And I sort of loved my iPhone mic hacked version as well, though hands-free is relative since I had to hold the iPhone cord close to my mouth for clear(er) output - particularly while driving.

I’ve tried several other BT headsets with zero satisfaction. All were terrible at either canceling ambient sound from the mic, or placing the speaker too far away, requiring me to crank the volume (which only made it loud *and* noisy).

My fantasy earpiece appears to be exactly what the etyBLU promises: bluetooth + deep ear bud + boom mic. A bit call-center looking, but given the quality of the ER6is, I’m reasonably confident this headset will be l33t. And of course if it’s not, I’ll snark about it.

Fair warning: A lot of folks, including one dork who gave a semi-negative review on amazon, don’t like the deep-ear fit. Fair enough. Don’t like, don’t buy. That’s pretty much etymotic’s one (awesome) trick pony. I’m personally in the “Apple’s on-or-around your approximate ear area buds suck” camp, so do your research and step off.

I’ll post my review in a few days after unboxing.

Someone found my most excellent blog post about crocs via google, apparently. In case you come back, whoever you are, I have a suggestion: Casts. For your crocs-wearing feet. Because if you’re not 4 year old twin girls wearing matching pink crocs and tiaras, or an adult wearing them only inside your garden (for gardening purposes) I will drive over your feet. And trust me when I say that some billybob teeth and a clown nose can only improve your sex appeal.

BTW, I still rule: #1 & #2 google results for “crocs are retarded.”

Update: @isaacschlueter brought an awesome maddox post to the cesspool. Thanks!

p.s.: I wish maddox would come out of the closet. We’d make a wonderful couple.

Update #2: @davidrdesign also croc-snarked.
