Nads "for men"!

Nads_omfg

OMG! I was in Duane Reade today getting a prescription filled when I passed this.  It's a product called "Nads" (snicker, snicker...yes, I know. I'm so mature.)  It's a hair removal product for men for way down there.  At least the torture isn't just for women.

What was particularly amusing was I was catching up the Savage Love Podcast by Dan Savage.  Believe me seeing "Nads" hair remover while listening to Dan opine on sex topics and give his wonderfully blunt advice? Entertaining ;)

NYC Mugged | Exploring all the Best Coffee in New York City

This is a great discovery. Thanks to today's Thrillist NY newsletter: http://www.thrillist.com/maps/nycmugged. With looking for work and going into NYC for interviews, it's a guarantee that I'll seek out a coffee bar/cafe with wi-fi to park, plug-in and surf the want ads. Since Starbucks has wifi, and I've got Boingo wireless (http://www.boingo.com/) I just plug in the zip code of where I am and let my Blackberry tell me where to go.

However, I'm feeling like I ought to give the smaller and independent spots a chance. I just don't know where they are, and I'm always ending up somewhere that's new to me. That's exciting but that also means I just don't know the layout. The trick is finding out where the hell they are.

This is where NYC Mugged can help a newb. For me, getting coffee or tea is a waste of money if I don't have wifi and a place to plug in the laptop. I'm hoping this will guide me to those spots. If you're not tethered to your laptop like I am, you'll have more of a range. This is a great idea.

So onward with more caffeinated wi-fi Internet surfing!

An English Teacher Under Quarantine in South Korea

The blog from the dirty foreigners who are quarantined because of N1H1 virus fears in South Korea.

I've got to say, it's crap like this that does make me happy I'm not there anymore.

Last I checked the virus originated in Mexico! So unless these folks are showing symptoms and/or were there or in one of the cities/regions where it's been reported, what's the fuss?

Sometimes the folks in power in the ROK can be so dumb. (Okay, yes, the USA has it's dumb leader moments too...we just had 8 years of it.)
