I Am Now Reviewing Products

Have a book, album, computer or car you want tested and reviewed? I am the man. Heck, send me some food and I'll tell you what I think. John Chow had Microsoft send him Pocket PC's and took him to the employee store. Me I got a grab bag at the Chicago Marathon with some Jelly Belly Sport (I use them now on every run). I have received several books and actually loved 2 of the 3. Now it is time for you, Mr. Product for which I need an honest opinion, to send me some stuff.

I am a good pitchman, I am between 18-40 and male, an income over 100K and tons of disposable income. I am a voice of reckless spending on tech and gadgets that I will use for only a year. I represent the person that is not too old to play video games and wealthy enough to play them on my 50" plasma. I am equally intrigued about the Urban Ninja as I am about the state of our economy. I can offer you a guy that understands the needs of the youth and the desires of the businessmen that wish to sell to them. I understand viral and tipping point and can make that happen with this stunt. Picture this, me falling off a train onto a treadmill while going into a dance routine to the music of the band of your choice all while holding your product in my hand. I will make sure that it looks like it was an accident caught on tape. So in all seriousness, send me something I'll tell you what I think.Email me and I'll tell you where to send the stuff.

Talk to Chuck a Scanner Darkly Review

I had heard good things about A Scanner Darkly. Ok, my wife said she heard it was pretty good and got it off Blockbuster.com. I decided to give up a few hours of my precious time to give it a try. Here is a litte description of the movie

Richard Linklater's adaptation of Philip K. Dick's classic novel is a challenging, mind-bending experience that cautions about the dangers of excessive drug use as well as the government's capacity to abuse and manipulate power.

Here is MY description. A decent movie about drug addiction. Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr. (he pretty much plays himself) , Woody Harrelson, and Wynona Ryder all star in a movie that only drew attention because it is rotoscoped. Without the rotoscoping it would just have been a direct to rental movie (It pretty much was anyway as it grossed only $5 million) . Now for those of you that don't know what rotoscoping is, think Charles Schwab commercials. Yes, those colorized Talk to Chuck commercials that you used to see all spring. I felt like I was watching a extremely long Chuck on drugs movie. The movie is very hard to follow and don't plan on having any other sounds going on around you if you have any hope of following this film. In short, the rotoscope is cool and is worth checking out just because of the cool graphics. You are probably going to think this movie is brilliant or terrible. I personally couldn't recommend it , but I am not regretting the fact I rented it.

The Saddam Hussein Hanging Cell Phone Video May Thier Tipping Point

Revver needed that one video that they had up before YouTube that brought attention to their site. The Saddam Hussein video might just be that video. It has been mentioned by Fox News and a few other new sources as being on Revver with no mention of YouTube (even though its over their as well) Hopefully Revver can run with it. By the way here is the video and it is

Saddam Hussein Has Been Executed By Hanging : Photos and Videos Are Right Here

Latest Update: Here is the FULL VIDEO

Update. The video is being released. Here is what has been released so far. Fox News seems to be covering it the most "graphically"

Here are some poll results from Al-Jazeera that I thought were interesting about the hanging.


Sadam Hussein has been killed and it was videotaped. They have not said whether the video will be released but we all know it will. I hate the taking of any life and for one time in my life I can't think of anything funny to say. I'm not saying I don't agree with it. The only thing that pisses me off is that they had to do it during a pretty good show on the impact of the internet on today's society. How ironic is that. The news of Hussein was not so much about the hanging but the question of how the media is going to handle it. I know how it will be handled. See you on YouTube

Speaking of Trader Mike, I have finally added him to my blogroll. I didn't put him on because I figured he didn't need the traffic and EVERYBODY has him on theirs. I just wanted to be different. Well he's on and staying. He IS the man and it would be silly not to give him credit.

Have You Heard of Prosper.com?

I have to say this site intrigues me. It is a site that the average joe borrow from the average joe. At least this is what they claim. Here is a quick summary of how it works. The business was founded by Chris Larson, the founder of E-Loan, as a place for people to come get loans from other people rather than banks. It also gives people the chance to play the bank and make loans to other people.

If you stop here I absolutely love the idea. It is essentially how a bank does it anyway. You have a checking account that they, in turn, lend out. Prosper.com simply plays the middleman by finding the borrowers and lenders and taking out a fee. They do all the background checks and establish a credit rating and a lending rate they feel the borrow qualifies for and then sells the loan in small increments. Lenders can then search the list and loan the money. Terms are laid out for each person and the reason and rate for each loan. Prosper.com handles everything just like a bank, collecting the money and paying the lenders. They send out late notices and charge late fees which are distributed to the lenders.

Sounds great doesn't it? The problem is exactly what you think, there is a much higher rate of default. If they were good for it they would just go to a bank and pay half the rate. Looking at the rate most of the people get even get a much better rate on a credit card. This is probably a last resort for most. Proper knows this and their answer is simply this. Diversify between many different borrowers and you'll be fine. That's what the high interest rate is for. It is worth checking out and is a very interesting business model. Chris Larson does have a proven track record. Check it out and tell me what you think.

PS This is DEFINITELY not a pay-per-post(I will never do that) just something that caught my eye.

Here is a good independent review and summary of the site.

Evolution of Teaching Math in the US

The average person is getting dumber. There is no greater evidence of this than at your average fast food counter. Heaven forbid you give them 11.56 if your bill is $6.56

Here is a ditty I found about the evolution of math. No offense to Hispanics, just reality.

Teaching Math In 1950

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1960

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is 4/5 of the price, or $80 What is his profit?

Teaching Math in 1970

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is $80. Did he make a profit?

Teaching Math In 1980

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production
is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math In 1990

A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and
inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the
preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of
$20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class
participation after answering the question: How did the birds and
squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers.)

While Wallstrip Is On Vacation Here Are My Thoughts

If there is one thing to say about me, it is that I am opinionated. If there is a second, it is that I am usually right but the only one stupid enough to say it. I really enjoy Wallstrip. I think it is funny and insightful. I understand the difficulties of trying to present information in a short segment. As I said before, I have a gardening segment on ABC and NBC. One is 90 seconds and taped and one is 2-4 minutes live, depending on how long the news is that day. I also am on a gardening show that is 30 minutes but live each week. It becomes difficult day after day to come up with original material that excites and informs the audience. Another issue is I occasionally host one show and I am the "talent" on the others. As host you don't want to overpower the others trying to present the info. My job as host is lead in, keep the show going smoothly, comment and joke when needed, and close. Most people don't realize how much work goes into a good show. The Wallstrip team has done a great job but here are some things I think can help Wallstrip become even more popular and profitable. Lindsay is great but she is more actress than host right now. These roles are completely different. Right now she has to do it all. She looks very comfortable in the skits but looks like she's acting in the presentation. She's fantastic and we all know it so time and practice will fix this. Next, there needs to be some form of voting to show which episodes are the users favorites. Only then can the writing team get a feel for which episodes the viewers like the most. Feedback is always helpful. A simple like or dislike button will suffice. I'm sure someone can write a vote and ranking script. It will also promote people to watch more episodes. Next, I read Frank Barnako's critical articles and it pissed me off. I hate when people criticize but fail to mention what could be done better. I hope he was wrong about Howard only giving it 6 months (this would be March). What I want to touch on is the one area I agree about. Not enough people are commenting on the show. The banter needs to pick up. Like a good restaurant, all new sites are popular in the first few weeks but will they still be packed in 3 months? That seems to have dropped off. The whole "famous" bloggers taking part didn't work either. I like the "conversation" section that searches for wallstrip on the web. What it shows me though, that all the "famous" bloggers that were originally part of the conversation hardly mention it anymore in their posts. They all have the widgets but that's it. I'm not criticizing anyone for that just pointing it out. Somehow the site needs to become more interactive. I don't know how to do this but the site doesn't keep you very long. It is pretty much watch the show and leave. With all the widgets on all the "regulars" sites, many viewers may never even come to wallstrip. Lastly, monetization. The whole reason I am even writing this article is that i really enjoy the show and I want it to survive. It needs to make some money to survive. I know Howard has thought this out much more than I have but where are the ads? No, don't post ads all over the place but a few would be just fine. If they wait to monetize it when the traffic is high enough then it may be too late. PS How about a home viewers contest. Have viewers send in their own wallstrip show. If they think they can do a better job then let see if they can. Set the guidelines. Have the Wallstrip team vote on the best 5 and post them and then let the people decide. It would be fun and interactive. Give prizes to encourage. There that's it. My rant and opinions. Anyone else have any? Besides Shane you suck.

Great Joke of the Day: Three Mice

Three mice are at a bar, having drinks, talking about how tough they are. The first mouse slams down a shot of booze, says, "Let me tell you how tough I am."

I spot a trap and go for the cheese. When it snaps, I snatch the bar and bench press it 20 or so times and before it can close I'm outa there!" and he tosses down another shot.

The second mouse slams down a shot and says, "You think that's tough? When I find a pile of d-con, I crush it and snort it like it's cocaine." With that he throws down another shot and slams his shotglass on the bar.

The first two are staring at the third mouse, waiting to see what he has to say for himself.

He fires down a shot of booze, throws down his glass and heads for the door. His buddies look at each other, then at him and say, "Hey, where are YOU going?"

The third mouse says, "I haven't got time for this shit, I need to get home to screw the cat." 3

11 Things You Might Not Have Known About Gerald Ford

When great people pass I like to take the time to look at the person and reflect on what he gave to society. While looking at Gerald Ford I came across these 11 things I thought were very interesting that I had forgotten or never knew

1. His name was originally Leslie Lynch King. President Gerald R. Ford was the son of Leslie Lynch King and his wife Dorothy Ayer Gardner, who divorced soon after the birth of their only child. Their son was known as Leslie Lynch King, Jr., until his mother married Gerald R. Ford, Sr. in 1916, after which he went by the name Gerald R. Ford, Jr.

2. He was set to retire from politics at the end of Nixon's term. He was tired of the circus that politics had become due to the Watergate scandal.

3. Ford almost played for the Green Bay Packers. He received offers from two professional football teams, the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers, but chose instead to take a position as boxing coach and assistant varsity football coach at Yale hoping to attend law school there. A quote from Ford "I would, in retrospect, liked to have played one year just to prove that I could. But the opportunity to go to Yale and be an assistant coach and go to law school at the same time might not have been available."

4. President Ford was the last living member of the Warren Commission. Ford co-authored, with John R. Stiles, a book about the findings of the Commission, Portrait of the Assassin.

5. Two people tried to kill Ford. Both were women and the events were 13 weeks apart

6. He worked as a park ranger in Yellowstone Park

7. Both Ford and his wife Betty, worked as models before their marriage

8. He was the first President to publicly release the whole report of his medical checkup

9. Most people forget he had to have two people resign to become President. He took over as Vice President when Agnew resigned and then President when Nixon resigned. He then lost election.

10. Betty and Gerald were very Pro-Choice

11. Ford didn't tell Nixon personally about the pardon. " I had a member of my staff, Beton Becker (ph), who went out to California, and told him that under certain circumstances, I would probably grant him a pardon"

Some of this is from Larry King Transcripts. For a good read and interesting inside to President Ford, give them a read.

The Great Nextel Text Scam

For the past few years, Nextel has been scamming millions of dollars from their customers by sending them text messages promoting their own products. Promoting their own products is not the scam, the scam is that it costs .15 cents to read them. They realize most people don't know this and almost everyone reads them. Especially the people that rarely get text messages. The main reason this scam works is the lack of knowledge of their customers and the fact that all Nextel phones make an completely different ring when text messages are received and won't go off until you take a look at them. Most people are confused and do whatever they can to turn it off and then usually take a look at the text message. So not only does Nextel get to promote their wares but the user ends up paying to look. They have been doing this about once a month to my dismay. The price used to be .10 cents but as soon as Nextel joined Sprint the price was raised to .15 cents. This was never announced. In a totally separate issue, customers who can prove that this price raise made a huge difference in the final price of their bills may have the opportunity to leave early without paying the early exit fee. Sprint Nextel spokesman David Gunasegaram said the carrier will look at each customer on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the price increase was "material and adverse." Lawyers have a different opinion. I have done some math on how much Nextel has made on this scam. Sprint Nextel has 51 million subscribers as of now. I figure that Nextel has about 16 million of these (based on 2004). Theses numbers are falling but this is my best estimate.


16 Million X $.15 X 6 times a year= $9,600,000 stolen from customers

That's chicken scratch for them but it is still a scam. When I asked Nextel about this they said I have the option of turning off my text. That is all well and fine but what if I still want to receive legit texts? I don get legit messages so why should I have to turn off text because my own provider wants to steal from me. They also said that text messaging was an optional service and therefore it is up to the consumer to realize the costs. People who don't use Nextel must realize that Nextel is mostly made up of users that originally joined for the direct connect and most do not use the text like the teenagers that use Cingular every day. Nextel knows this and takes advantage of it. Do I want my money back? I could care less about the $1 a year. I just want this practice to stop. The same issue is the lack of information on their internet text messaging center. They make it very easy to send a Nextel user a text online but almost impossible to find the amount the receiver is about to pay. Nextel/Sprint are losing existing customers by the hundreds of thousands a month while other companies are gaining millions. This is just another reason why.

Apple to Spin off Mammals division

Apple, in a brilliant business move, has decided to spin off their mammals division and break it off as an individual company. Apple has owned the website mammals.org and had a non publicized division for many years, creating much speculation as to what they planned to do with the name and development team. They have also owned iPhone.org for the same amount of time but most of the general public knows where that is headed. Our sources, a friend of the friend of Kevin Rose's cousin has informed us that Apple will start mass producing small portable animals that can be carried in a backpack or a purse. The animals will be bred through cloning by Panasonic and will be capable of mating with other iMammals through bluetooth technology. In reaction to past battery life criticism, Apple has bred these small mammals to have an incredible lifespan with most of them living from 15-20 years. The first batch of animals will come with fur of pink, blue, silver, with a special female version of a miniature squirrel coming out in red. All proceeds from the squirrel will go to local "Residential Wildlife" programs. The picture to the left is the first iMammal that will be released called the Wozzy. Apple, being the wise innovators, have come up with mammal safe packaging that is twice the size of the packaging that got the sellers of the bonsai kitten in trouble. It has also been learned that Apple will guarantee the live delivery of all their mammals and will replace any mammals that are dead after the packages are open. In the case of unsold animals they will have local representative in every store replacing all unsold mammals with fresh new stock every 60 days. We are expecting to hear more about this at MacWorld but until then you can go to mammals.org to find out more information.
