I Can't Keep Doing This

In the past week, I've ended up signing close to 10 billion cards for people. For things like retirement, get-well-soon surgery, graduation, gaining superpowers from a radioactive-squirrel bite, etc.

I'm done. No more cards.

PenesamiG - Knock-Off Batteries

I'm a big fan of engrish, and cheap product knock-offs entertain the heck out of me, so when I saw that a pack of really cheap led touch-lights were full of knock-off Panasonic batteries I couldn't resist buying them.

PenesamiG Batteries

Each light contained 3 AAA PenesamiG batteries. The packaging looks almost identical to Panasonic's batteries. The big difference? Besides the fact that these things probably last less than 10% as long as a real battery, the darn things squish and bend if you apply any pressure to the side.

I'm now the proud owner of 18 little fire hazards.

New Google Reader Features

Google Taking on Del.icio.us?

Google Reader now allows you to tag and share any web page in Google Reader. The "Note in Reader" feature seems a direct replacement for del.icio.us - except with a much narrower social cloud.

I've actually thought about how great it would be if Google allowed me to bring non-rss items and webpages into Reader, but now that it's available it's just one more place for me to keep track of things. How do I decide whether to bookmark something in del.icio.us, note it in Reader, save it as an email draft in gmail, etc?

Sharing More Clearly

I don't share many articles in Reader anymore, one of the reasons I tapered off was the occassional question of "Why did you share that?" Google fixed that too. You can now add notes to shared items, allowing you to explain why the heck you shared a picture of a slice of pepperoni pizza.

Extreme Makeover

It's completely superficial, and almost didn't get mentioned, but Reader now offers the option of styling your shared items page. The available styles? Well, right now, there aren't many:

No pirate theme? I, of course, chose Ninjas.

Mental Holiday

After waking up from a bizarre series of dreams with an intense and overwhelming feeling of anxiety, I decided to take a break from thinking today.

Instead of not posting anything for the day, I figured it would be better if I at least tossed up a post explaining why I wasn't posting.

If anyone is disappointed and expected something more entertaining from this day's block of text, feel free to imagine a lot more words between these next two quotation marks: " ". (If you came up with anything good, add it to a comment or something. :)
