queer and loathing

@seymour Feed me.

Just in case your murderous houseplant’s incessant singing and bloodthirsty rampages aren’t quite high enough maintenance for you, the folks at ThinkGeek have available a DIY Plant Twitter Kit.

Now your psychotic Sago Palm, berserk Begonia or unhinged Umbrella Tree can pummel you with constant tweets, just like your other, non-photosynthetic friends.

And I quote:

Once the kit is assembled, connect it to the Internet through the built-in ethernet jack, jam the leads into the plant’s soil, and subscribe to the plant’s twitter feed. It will tell you when it needs watering, or scold you if you’ve overwatered it, and report its status in between.

I think they may have gone too far this time.

And now we bring you, the iHeadache

My twitterstream is full of my friend’s bitching about all the problems they’re having activating their shiny new iPhones 3Gs. I have to admit there is a small, evil, envious part of me that is glad their nerdvana has been delayed a few hours. The truth be told, I’d love to get my grubby paws on an the new iPhone — but I’m going the route of getting the First generation model off of craigslist for cheap. I figure by next week we’ll be able to pick up a ton of 8GB iPhones for about $200 then, 15 minutes later it’ll be jailbroken and sitting next to my SideKick LX and my Daxian x999+ that I got last week.
