Enjoyable Diversion

This is a very enjoyable diversion, although I understand that addiction can occur. So enjoy, but be careful. Wastrel On! (Listening to: Baby, It's Cold Outside by Lee Ann Womack (featuring Harry Connick, Jr.))

Splashpower

I've been waiting for this for a LONG time. It appears that the consumer world at large is every bit as frustrated with the uselessness of current battery power as I am. So, some folks are taking it into their hands to correct it. My post from yesterday was one employable methodology. This Splashpower is another, much more elegant, solution. I sure as hell hope it works as advertised and that it's inexpensive enough for the commonman.

Trailer available

Oooh my... I'm a geek. I admit it. When I was just exiting High School, a new item swept through the geek world in the form of Transformers. Yeah, Transformers, those über-cool toy-cum-machine things. I bought and stole (yep...not proud of it, either) as many of them as I could because...well, because I'm a geek. And, it's about time for my geek to show again. The new Transformers Movie Trailer is available and I am just about as excited as I've ever been for a movie. As I said, I'm a geek. Check it out. Wastrel On!

news like this

It's news like this that does my little footy-heart good. Now if only we could convince the American populace at large that the sport really is worth watching. I fight the fight, walk the walk & talk the talk at bars & pubs across the country; but I encounter such immense resistance it's disheartening. In fact, the manager at one of my local bars just, pretty much, flat refuses to put footy on for me preferring instead to watch an infomercial about golf-clubs, or the cup-stacking championship or even the opening rounds of the World Domino Tour. Please. Wastrel On!

USB Batteries

Ok, now here's an idea who's time has come. It's long been known that Moore's law, and all the other tech-based theorems just don't seem to apply to batteries. Maybe that can changed one step at a time. Check these out: Groovy. I've not tried them yet, but the whole concept appeals to me greatly. You can read a review of them here. Wastrel On!

Lauren's Return Postponed

After nearly a year out, I was greatly looking forward to Lauren's return to the first XI tonight. But, it's not to be. Sometime between 6:15pm and 6:45pm it became so bloody foggy in ol' England that the Liverpool v Arsenal Carling Cup Quarterfinal has been postponed. Yes, the official, one Martin Atkinson, has deemed the match unplayable. So, for all of us gooners looking to watch Lauren on the pitch again...well too bad. Shan't happen today. Wastrel On!
