Tequila

Really haven't got the words for this excellent spoof on the average American (drug) ad.

I just hope that these kind of ads stay away from the local continent (and I don't mean the spoofs). Some things are better left on the other side of the Atlantic.

How Average Is Your Life?

Or great, of even f*cked up?

Read about the things that are not making it to Twitter. The real things in life.

Starting for the 'average Joe' there's this MyLifeIsAverage website. For those who do (a lot) better, there's this MyLifeIsG(reat). And finally, for those whose life went completely down the drain a FMyLife ('F' as in F*ck :) ).

It's like Twitter; addictive, but different and a whole lot funnier.

(Is there an iPhone app yet for these services?)...

(Not that I really care, since I don't own one)

Google Maps and Nokia e61i

A couple of weeks ago, I was pointed towards Google Maps on my Nokia e61i (I got a download link when I visited google.com on my mobile). After downloading and installing it (which was very easy), I started the application (which was hiding under Menu -> Installations -> Google Maps). Most basic features are available on the phone app (directions, searching for restaurants etc., Zoom in and out), and there's the possibility of positioning yourself on the map by using cellular positioning. Thankfully, this is done for you by the application. Downside is that it's not that accurate. In my case, I could be anywhere in a 1.7 mile radius circle. It's also possible to use a GPS mouse (which I recently bought) for your location. The neat thing is that you can see yourself walk across the map (or drive if you're by car). This is an excellent application. These is one downside... Google Maps is using a constant Internet connection to update the maps, so make sure you have some sort of flat fee data service (or use wifi when available). Otherwise you might be in for a surprise when you receive your phone bill.

Warning Labels in the US

Everything is possible, but nothing is allowed. A typical description of the United States. A country where everyone sues everyone else. This is the reason why manufacturers place the most absurd warning labels on their products. Just in case someone is lacking plain old common sense (like a lady who put her dog (or cat) in the microwave to dry the animal.....) and sues the company for millions of dollars. Check the most ridiculous warning labels here. You can even buy a book [amazon, bol.com] with the 101 most stupendous warnings.
