So who out there is following Mestew on Twitter? If you’re not, you should be! And if Mestew had a dog, you could potentially follow that bitch on Twitter too. That’s right, Mattel has invented a great device for dogs to wear that sends out Tweets when the dog barks or moves. It’s called Puppy Tweets and I’m sure they’re flying off the shelves at your favorite pet store. When I read this story for the first time, the first thing that went through my head was, “it’s about time!” …

For those of you that know me, y’all know I’m a baller… fantasy baller! Yes, I’m a huge fan of the show The League and I probably laughed the hardest in Knocked Up when Paul Rudd gets busted at a fantasy baseball draft. I accept the fact that what existed of my coolness may have taken a huge hit with these admissions, but I am who I am. Fantasy baseball is within sight and one of my two leagues has just started its draft. Oh by the way, if fantasy …

This is a must-have for the TomTom GPS owner in your family this holiday season. It’s the Snoop Dogg Voice Skin. Most people that have GPS systems in their car are told directions by either an Englishman or some uppity chick.

Well, with the Snoop Dogg Voice Skin, for $12.95, you can have the Doggfather himself navigate through your TomTom. Will this be on …

There are two universal opinions of Twitter: 1) what the hell is Twitter? and 2) Twitter is the only way I get my news. I was a skeptic at first too, but after tip-toeing into the Tweeting waters I’ve become a huge fan. To get the most out of Twitter, you don’t even really need to use it. Just sign up, search for the sources you want your news, opinions, and other information from, and you’re done. Think of it as your own little news hub where the headlines are …

How fun are video games? Where else can you fly a plane, race a car, or be the starting quarterback for the Lions? (Ok, maybe some things aren’t THAT tough to accomplish.) Ever since Mario was jumping on Koopa Troopa’s heads in the 1980’s, the video game industry has had one basic goal: Make the games more realistic.

Ever sit around watching tv and see something that makes you say, “Man, what a great invention! I wish I had thought of that!” This product does not fit that category. Instead, after I heard about this, I said, “Who the hell would buy one of those?” The product I’m referring to is the Withings WiFi Body Scale. It’s not your typical body scale that tells you your weight, body fat percentage, and BMI… it has wireless. And what does it do with a wireless connection to the internet? Tweets …

It seems like anyone and everyone has an opinion about cell phones and cell phone companies. One bad experience with a cellular service provider seems to be enough to keep a sour taste in mouths forever. Me, I’m a Sprint guy. I’ve had Sprint for a few years now and have enjoyed every minute of it. I’ve never been fond of Verizon’s high prices, T-Mobile’s lack of decent coverage and quality phones, and you’ll probably never hear me say anything positive about AT&T. Actually, if there are two companies out …

January 2007, in a promotion titled “Hold your Wee for a Wii” (true story, not making this up), radio station KDND-FM asked contestants to drink a lot of water and not go to the bathroom. The person lasting the longest would win a Nintendo Wii. The ultimate loser in the contest? Jennifer Strange. Not only did Jenny lose out on the Wii, she lost her life. There’s this little thing called “acute water intoxication” that the radio station possibly should have considered before promoting this contest. Due to holding in …
