Me x 10

I would describe myself as, among other things, cheap and difficult to talk to. Last week I spent some time with people who have these same qualities, but times ten. I have to say, I'd rather eat my own pinkie than spend another second waiting for someone to decide between the regular fries or the $0.40-extra curly fries, or standing around trying to make small talk that keeps degenerating into awkward topics like dismemberment and terminal illness. I'm a weird and flawed person, but there are people out there who are worse than me. #psychology

iPhone naming convention

Just admit it, Apple. You screwed up. The naming convention for the different variations of the iPhone is stupid. First there was the iPhone, which was fine. Then a year later, there was the iPhone 3G, which confusingly was a second generation phone on a third generation network. Now another year later, we have the iPhone 3G S (or is it 3GS? -- even Apple can't decide) which, not to be confused with the plural of iPhone 3G, refers to speed. Quite the snafu from the company that can do no wrong. #technology

Lost senses

Consumerist wrote two articles recently about losing senses: Zicam products are associated with loss of smell, and pine nuts are known to cause a temporary loss of taste. On a related note, Scott Adams ponders the question of which of the five senses he could live without. I've had this conversation several times before and I always firmly decide I'd rather not lose any of my senses. #health
