As Seen on TV!

So just a couple of weeks ago I was in Walgreens and stumbled upon the most wonderful aisle. As some would call it, the "As seen on TV aisle." This Walgreens had the whole shebang! There were your Shake Weights, your Slap Chops, Snuggies, Shamwows, Ped Eggs, and your Bumpits.

But this guy took the cake (if there ever was any). HD Vision Sunglasses... really? In case your normal vision was only in 480i. And if you look towards the bottom of the box, it shows that the road actually becomes clearer while looking through these glasses.

Now I give these produces a lot of grief, but the truth of it is that I was in that Walgreens for two reasons. One, waste and hour or so before the movie at the local budget cinema. And two, get snacks for said movie. (...don't look at me like that. We all do it!) But that adventure into the Walgreens did its job quite nicely.

I would never buy any these products, but I think I'm still a little happy they exist. What would I do while waiting for a movie other then shake my head at the things people spend their money on.

Google=Internet?

Is it just me, or is Google everywhere?! It started as just a search engine but has evolved into a juggernaut metropolis of all the web. One hub for all the internet. These guys even made their own web browser and word processor.

Google Docs is an online word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation drafter. All of which are stored online and can be accessed anywhere. Kinda like Dropbox?

Remember Map Quest? It used to be all the rage! You'd type in an address, and this handy website would give you directions on how to get there. Google looked at this and said 'Hey, that's cool. We could do that... only better!' So, Google decided to not only tell you where to go, but to show you. Next thing you know there's a van diving down your block with the weirdest camera you ever did see mounted on it taking pictures of your house. A bit creepy? Not for Google.

Google has bought out YouTube and Blogger. What's next: Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Skype (well they already have Google Voice so...), Stumbleupon?

Stumble to replace 'I'm Feeling Lucky'
