So Much To Say, No Time To Say It

Reeds, Inc. may buy out Jones Soda, Inc. LOI submitted. Wish I owned stock. Wish I worked for Mr. Reed.

Coke may be revising and hoping to revitalize Mello Yello.

Wild Cherry Pepsi finally gets the new family design.

I need a new car and can't decide what to get. Here is my research so far. The VW needs a new clutch and about 180,000 less miles.

Dish Network finally has an iPhone app to set timers remotely.

Red Letter Media reviews movies with sarcasm and cussing. Funny stuff.

So much more I've probably forgotten. Need funding to blog all day. Click on the ads. Click. Click.

Can You Say Redundant?

"City of Yuba City"? Are we sure it's a city?

Taste the Creepy

Here's a commercial from Skittles that is a little off, a little...in the words of my friend Ted, "Creepy!"

R-Division Scirocco

It's time to move to Europe. They get the Scirocco R. We don't. This is the 261-horsepower 2010 Volkswagen Scirocco R.

We may get the Golf R and the Jetta R, but I'm sure they will be super limited and super expensive.

Japanese "Star Wars" Tuna?

Ahh, what?

Sir Patrick Stewart Loves His iPhone

Sir Patrick Stewart a.k.a. Captain Picard of Star Trek TNG loves his iPhone but doesn't see the need for Twitter. I love how he puts this, because I agree with him.

The "Game it Up" Phone

The Orion Concept. A Gaming phone with some pretty well thought out ideas, including buttons for use as controls. The iPhone is not a good gaming console because there are no buttons. On screen buttons make you block the screen to push them, and you have to look at the buttons instead of the action. The Orion phone has buttons on the sides of the screen that appear to be raised so you know when you are pushing them.

Nice concept. Read more about it at recombu.com.

Star Wars vs. Star Trek

I would agree with this video.

The Star Trek franchise is actually my favorite of the two. Sorry Ted.

These nerds are pretty good with the special effects.

Dump Truck Dump Bed Dumps Body Onto Freeway

Ahh, make sure the dump bed is down. Check out the guy on the bridge who noticed the dump truck coming and stopped walking across the bridge, but still falls (probably to his death) when the truck hits. Scary.

About the iPad

First, it sounds like a feminine hygiene product. Gross.

Next, everything I wanted to say is wrapped up in a commenter's comment on Engadget.

"A giant iphone that can't place a call, can't take pictures, can shoot video, cannot multitask, cannot run Adobe Flash and is ridiculously expensive even before adding the cost of a 3G antenna. Yeah, I'll take three [/sarcasm]"

Finally, it is actually the direction I think computers should go. The picture below is what makes me interested, with the attachable keyboard docking station. I also love that you can get iWork (Apple's Office like suite) on it. I believe, and posted about it in 2007 here (scroll down to "Here is a Rabbit Trail"), that computers should go the way of the portable do everything device. This is really a set in the right direction. It's too bad it's been apple-ized. If Apple got there heads out of their "apple cores" and added or fixed the things in the comment from the Engadget reader, I'd run down and buy 3 of them, for realzies.


What do you think?

Pepsi From Canada

Ted brought this from Canada for me. Thought I'd share the can design.
I guess it's the Olympic design.

The A-Team Movie

I was watching reruns of The A-Team a few years ago, when I had 3 and 4 days off in a row. Man, that was the life. And now, they have a movie coming out. Although, I'm not holding out hope that his will be a good movie, I'll probably go see it as a fan of the old TV show.

Here is the first trailer to be released.

It does have an All-Star cast (from IMDb) and some of the originals:

Bradley Cooper ... Lt. Templeton 'Faceman' Peck
Liam Neeson ... Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith
Sharlto Copley ... Capt. 'Howling Mad' Murdock
Jessica Biel ... Lt. Sosa
Patrick Wilson ... Lynch
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson ... Sgt. Bosco 'B.A.' Baracus
Dirk Benedict
Dwight Schultz
Gerald McRaney ... General Morrison
Brian Bloom ... Pike
Omari Hardwick ... Chop Shop J
Maury Sterling ... Gammons
C. Ernst Harth ... Gilbert
Raj Lal ... Private Silyman
Neil Schell ... Army Meddac Hospital XO

Get That Commercial Audi Here

Audi made a commercial that may be considered to be in "bad taste" and has already been pulled from YouTube. My favorite automotive blogs, autoblog, found this copy for us to be shocked by.

Please, don't try this at home.

Ewoks Lunchbox

This was my lunchbox growing up. Although I no longer have the
thermos, this box still holds all my old Matchbox cars. I've been a
Star Wars fan a long time. I don't remember ever liking the Ewoks, but
I guess at some point I must have.

Dear AT&T

Dear AT&T,

Your service sucks.
