If I could give a piece of advice to the unwed, I would say that you should really know your future spouse. Sure, there are big decisions that you should make sure you agree on, like kids or where you want to live or whether you prefer outdoor thermometers or indoor ones, but the little stuff shouldn’t be overlooked either.

I’ll give you an example.

I hate large curd cottage cheese. I do. It grosses me out. I love small curd. I’ll eat small curd all day. But the large curd…ewww. And the worst part about large curd is that sometimes the inside is dry if it’s a really large piece. That really grosses me out.

The Wife also hates large curd. Therefore, we never argue about cottage cheese. We always buy the small curd.

Holy crap…I love turntable.fm.

It’s a music site where you go into a room and there are up to five turntables where up to five people take turns picking tracks for the room while everyone listens in the room. As each track is played, the listeners can vote it lame or awesome. If the folks listening in the room heavily lame it, it gets dumped. If people think the track is awesome, the DJ get points to change his or her avatar. And at the same time, you get to listen to full length tracks without commercials.

(Note: in this screenshot, there's nobody in the room but us DJs. Sometimes, that's all you need.)

I can spend hours in there once I actually get on one of the turntables. It’s wicked fun. Seriously, like argan oil fun. (Okay, I have no idea what that meant.) You need to come check it out. Right now, the only way to get in is to login with your Facebook account, and you can only get in if someone in your friends list is in. (Pssst…if were FB friends, I think you’ve got the connection.)

I keep up with a lot of tech stories and podcasts. I enjoy the field of technology and like to stay up on what’s new. But lately, these tech journalists have been making me angry with their badly-researched comparisons. Mostly, I’m talking about music services.

With Spotify and Google and Amazon cloud storage making their respective debuts, there are a lot of comparisons being made. But many of these comparisons are just flat out wrong. For example, I heard one podcaster talking about the depth of music Amazon had to offer and whether Rdio could match that.

Well, guess what? You’re an idiot.

Amazon cloud storage has ONLY the tracks you either bought or uploaded. It has NOTHING else. Rdio has over eight million songs by purchasing a single subscription and uploading nothing. You can’t compare these services. They do completely different things. It would be like comparing Google to Chrysler.

Here are the comparisons you can actually make:

• Spotify vs. Rdio vs. subscription music services
• Amazon cloud storage vs. Google cloud storage vs. other cloud storage

See how that works? Geez. Get it right, people.
You don’t need a EOTech 512 scope to see this correctly.

If you will recall, awhile back I wrote about a post about boob pillows. I thought that was actually a pretty not bad idea, but being more of a butt guy, I thought the backside pillow would be a better idea.

And lo and behold, someone did it.

Geekologie found booty pillows and for the life of me, I can’t figure out if this site is for real or not. I mean, even after watching the video below, I’m still not sure.

So, I guess my point is that it doesn’t matter if you’re an athlete or a guy who sells document management software from Dokmee.net, or whether you’re a boob or butt guy, there is a pillow for you. Unless this site is a hoax. Then you’ll have to slip some thong underwear on a pillow you already have.
