Today, Cheryl suggested that I eat either a sandwich or a burger for lunch. And I ate pizza instead! Haha! Also, she put me in her away message. OMG!

It's Not Godzilla!

I've found several photos of what the Cloverfield monster could possibly look like. One of these is real. Trust me, my source is extremely credible. Let's just say I know a guy.

This could be the one. I don't know though. He seems a little too cute.


Let's call this one Larry. Larry's one ugly mofo. I actually can't figure out which one is his arm and which one is his ear. Maybe he has no ear. Maybe his ear is on his arm.


Obviously, it's one of these guys. They definitely exude Cloverfield-ness.


Click this to view the larger version. This could be it, seriously this time.


Who knows? The last one seems pretty credible. But I have a feeling that it's one of the two shady-looking monsters in the 3rd one. Hmm...

"I'm the next Filipino Idol"

With the writer's strike still going on, I've been watching random shows on television. And last night, I decided to tune into FOX HD and check out what Simon and the gang were up to. Minutes after I turned on the TV, this guy shows up. Dressed in white and flaunting a ridiculous Filipino accent, he looked as if he was going to be awful. But he wasn't. He was better than I initially gave him credit for. Be that as it may, he was not good enough to make it to the Hollywood rounds.

I'm pretty sure Filipinos around the world were saddened by his departure from the show.

There could be hope. Maybe he'll be the next William Hung.

The LapDome. Why? Seriously, why?

Not even the nerd in me can ever fathom even thinking about the possibility of considering the purchase of this ridiculous product.

But if I did, I'd only use it if I knew nobody would be looking. That's because if viewed from a bad angle (like a person facing you directly), it could appear as if I was doing something, let's say ... weird. You know, like using a laptop that wasn't an Apple. Because without being able to see what's under the cover, one would assume that I could be on any number of laptops. They'd probably think I'm using a Dell or an IBM of some sort - something icky. Without the iconic Apple logo in sight, they would never know...

If you're interested in the LapDome - or if you really want to verify that it's real - then then go to Pocket-link's site to check it out.

Update: I just noticed on the site that there exists another portion of the "ad" for the LabDome. And coincidentally, it's an Apple! Probably a MacBook Pro or maybe even an older PowerBook like the one yours truly still uses. Nonetheless, check it out below.

90 Minutes into 60 Seconds Like This!

Mahalo.com has the 90-minute Macworld 2008 Keynote in a 60-second video version (they cut all the BS out). Mahalo.com is also home to Veronica Belmont (pictured below), who I happen to have a crush on due to her girl-next-door looks and the fact that she's into toys. I'm talking about geek toys, you pervs! As in gadgets! Jeez....

One more thing ...

Here's a transcript of Tuesday's Macworld 2008 Keynote in a condensed form just in case you missed it.

Steve: Hey guys!
Crowd: [crazy applause]
Steve: Leopard sold well. Here's TimeCapsule.
Crowd: Huh? Move on!
Steve: iPhone sold well. Here's some cool new features!
Crowd: Yay we get to text more than one person!
Steve: Apple TV sucked. We've fixed it! And you can rent stuff now!
Crowd: Sweet!
Steve: Envelopes are small. Oh wait, there's a MacBook Air in here!
Crowd: OMG OMG! Gimme gimme!
Steve: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Crowd: We want it! No wait, it's useless. But it's so pretty, though.
Steve: One more thing...
Crowd: He said it! Here we go!
Steve: Umm, uhh... watch this old guy sing! Bye!

Okay, no surprises this year. No "One more thing" from El Jobso. No 3G iPhone announcement. No demo of third-party apps for the iPhone. No laptop that'll change the laptop world. No ... just no.

But at least I know I won't be upgrading my 3.5 year old PowerBook G4 quite yet. Why? I'll tell you why.
MacBook - Needs a major overhaul for me to consider it. It's cute though.
MacBook Air - If I had a Mac Pro and $2000 laying around, then I'd definitely get this.
MacBook Pro - Looks just like my PBook: sexy. But it could use a new design.

Maybe I'm just coming up with reasons out of my ass, but I'm in a situation where I look at their laptop lineup and I can't see myself needing any of those laptops. Not to mention I can't afford one right now.

Guess what, though?! My iPhone now lets me text message more than one person. w00t! Oh wait, you've been able to do that with your phone? Wait...did you just say that all phones have that feature? Now that I think about it, I think my Nokia 8162 from 1999 allowed me to text more than one person!

Congratulations, Apple. You've managed to get iPhone owners like myself excited about these "new features" you've added to our phones. Features like the aforementioned multi-person SMS, icon rearrangement, and cell tower triangulation, which is basically a poor man's version of GPS. What's next, video recording and MMS (picture text) messaging? Maybe you don't know this, but pretty much every phone can record video and send picture messages. Get with the program.

I know, I know... you're only doing this so that when you finally announce the 3G iPhone 2, you'll be able to show off the features you purposely left out of the first one. Just to have the "OMG OMG" reaction from your Apple fanboys/girls. "Here's the iPhone 2. You can now record videos. Amazing! And check this out: you can take a picture, and then send it to your friends without having to e-mail them!" They're probably gonna call it the iPhone Video or the iPhone With Features We Should've Put In The First Place.

C'mon, Apple. C'mon!

I now look forward to the 364 days til Macworld 2009 Keynote! Let the rumors begin...

Can't Hardly Wait

12 hours until Macworld ....... the wait is painful.

But as a last minute drool-enducing post, wired.com just "revealed" the supposed MacBook Air a few moments ago on their site.

Obviously these pics have been shop'd (PhotoShop'd), but take a look. If Steve Jobs announces a MacBook that looks anything like this, I will need it. I nearly pissed my pants when I saw these fake pix an hour ago.

Thin.

Beautiful.

Clean.

Like me! Sike...


Look at that beaut! It's fake, but I mean c'mon! I'm in love.


OH ... MY ... GOD

I gotta go change my pants now. Dammit.
