Too Many Options

Am I the only one that is trying to figure out when it is best to tweet, buzz, status, blog, text, forward, share, or digg something? There are a lot of good choices, but it is almost getting to the point of work to try and figure out what medium I will use to pass along info. I think I'm hoping for one app to rule them all. Also, has anybody figured out a good use for Wave?

Today's PSA

Note to the guy on the train this morning who appears to answer his calls with “where my baby-mama at?” One, your cell phone is NOT a portable boom box. Look into getting earphones when attempting to listen to your music. Two, you are on a train. Speakerphone is not appropriate for a public phone conversation let alone the music shared with the rest of us. I realize you were probably just trying to provide a soundtrack to our ride, but please stop. If we want music, we will get out our earphones and listen to something - privately - like considerate human beings. Again, headphones would be better for all involved. Thank you.

Space Age?

It is 2008, about 40 years since we hit the moon - so it’s puzzling to see foot cushions sold at the local Walgreen’s with the label “Space Age Material.” How is that impressive? I wasn’t going to but this insert, but if the astronauts use it . . . it must be cool. Maybe they mean that if we have these, we will be fast-tracked into space exploration. Or perhaps it is the result of material used in previous space explorations. However, we don’t still consider Tang or Velcro “space-age” even though they were developed by NASA. What is this mystery material? It certainly isn’t anything used by the Jetsons. I mean, are we even really in a space age right now. We go to space sure, but it isn't anything like was envisioned back in the day with people commuting to the moon or vacationing on Mars.

I guess “space age” does add some flair to plain memory foam, but come on, there is nothing futuristic or spacey about it. I declare it an illegal usage and will boycott the product. You should too.
