I'm a geek

So I'm trolling the internet right... I started out with my daily checklist: MySpace, Facebook, Kontraband, and the more recent CNN.com. Not really much going on with the first two, but on Kontraband, I found this sweet Kate Perry cover. I almost fell off my stool laughing. The best part is that they are so serious and the part where the dude forgets the words. lol. My insatiable thirst for cyber silliness temporally satisfied, I went to CNN.com to check out what's going on with the April Fools virus. Which, BTW, I only found out about this morning! WTF internet? We've been friends for like, 15 years and you still keep secrets from me! I would think that at this point in our relationship, you would be more comfortable just talking to me. So after my time in solitary, also known as work, there is going to be a mad dash to the house to rescue my baby from the big bad virus. Fucking hackers! Seriously. Why can't you stick to fun stuff like changing emergency road sign text to warn motorists about impending Nazi Zombie invasions? The last virus I got destroyed my hard drive, it's a good thing I had that warranty. Fortunately, Microsoft has allegedly put a $250,000 price on the guys head for causing so much shit. Apparently they don't like competition, I think I've seen similar plots on The Sopranos. Anyway, CNN also lead me to Voltaic Systems and their totally awesome product line. They have this really sweet backpack with solar panels that will charge every little gadget I have, save my beastly laptop. I've actually been tracking this company and their line for a while, but being stuck in Germany and then Riga, it didn't make a whole lot of sense to buy solar powered anything. I haven't seen my shadow in months, I don't think that shelling out $250 to power my goodies is very practical. That's not to say that my typical spending habits are exactly practical, but buying this bag now would make about as much sense as *insert favorite analogy for complete uselessness here*. However, they do have this really sweet College Rep program. Basically, you write to them, and let 'em know you are interested in repping their gear and they give you a discount. While I can't take advantage of this program because I take all my classes on the internet, I highly suggest all you trendy, environmentally conscious people that go to a real college check it out. They good news is, I'm probably heading somewhere sunny for my last post (and my birthday is coming up :D).
