note: need to buy new axe deo.

if i may draw your attention to the right ladies and gentlemen, to salute the new subtitle of this blog. it is the (translated and kingdomized modified) title of this book - a saturday-pre-xmas-present from her.

highly recommended!

ladies and gentlemen, may i present to you my newest new gadget. another marvelous, phantastic, new, shiny and absolutely superfluous piece of technology, that came through the door just a couple of minutes ago.

one gigabyte worth of unneeded storage in the size of my a thumb. ready to feed yet another piece of junk that i bought recently and do not need at all.

i really wonder how people manage to do anything productive with unexpected cash. must be a genes thing.

"the only function of the suspicious looking device is to appear as suspicious as possible, whether carried in hand or placed indiscrimately in public places."

[...more...]

it is probably not such a good idea to take this little fella into an airport or a railway station, but it sure is fun to think about it.

is it a watch? is it a cellphone? is it something dick tracy forgot to put back on this morning?

the cec gsm f88 sure is ugly as sin, but also probably the coolest thing i have seen in a long while. it's got a color display, speakerphone, 3-megapixel camera, and weighs a mere 100 gramms. if you want one, all you need to do is travel to china, find cec corp and have about 900 euros ready.

me want this.
now.

ah, all new and shiny. i love it.

the robot uprising is coming and you´d better be prepared!
so watch this introduction by daniel h. wilson author of the phantastic book "how to survive a robot uprising" that you can get here. crucial information that might come in handy soon! go get it!

ps: this is an excellent way to kill the last 44 minutes and 16 seconds of office time you have to endure on a horrible day.

looking at my payroll and comparing it with the balance of my bank account i wonder every single month how it is humanly possible that i am having trouble with my finances.

this is the dialogue that automatically pops up in my head whenever i see something interesting on ebay. it´s the weak, reasonable king talking to the strong, overweight, greedy king. listen up, it is fun to hear those two argue about every single purchase:



so where does all the money go?

we have no idea.

why do we buy all this shit?

not a clue.

do we need it?

hell yeah!

all of it?

of course!

so you are telling me that all of these technical gadgets really are necessary for our survival?

stop asking these stupid questions and press the paypal button you moron!

now seriously. this is a 4 gigabyte usb memory stick. we have a 2.2 gigabyte stick already, so what do we need this one for?

are you dumb? look at this fucked up old stick. it is not even a stick, it´s a microdrive. how lame is that? now look at the new stick we want: black, shiny with a red dot and a keyring holder. come ooon, press the button! do it!

is there still available storage space on the old stick?

yes, but what does that have to do with anything?

so why do we need a new, bigger stick when we do not even use all the space on the old one?

you just answered you own question you nimrod! the old one is OLD and the new one is NEW, BIGGER and SHINY so just press the fucking button or i will powerslam you face into the keyboard!



this is usually the point where the weak and reasonable king gives in because he has been afraid from the strong, overweight and greedy king from the start anyway.

so now i am the owner of a brand new extreme memory smart 4 gigabyte usb 2.0 turbo stick with a red dot and a keyring holder. cool, eh?

what? do i need it? oh shut up, will you?!

uh, i almost forgot: received a huge tax refund today, so while i am typing this, the greedy king is beating up the weak king and as soon as he is done, we (= greedy, me and i) are going back to ebay to do some more shopping as i have seen another usb-powered gadged with my name on it...



[edit: here it the picture of the new gadget since pictures obviously do not work inside the comments. or - which is more likely - i am just to stupid to find out how to do this shit.]

you really have to have these on your feet in order to understand why people call them the most comfortable shoes ever. i wonder if i can match those with a suit? probably not in red though. need to order a 2nd pair. oh my...

[thanks to madame saoirse for pointing me into the right direction!]
