I rarely get into advertising or underwear on this blog but I had to share this one. It’s like a Miracle Bra… but for your butt.
I wonder if this booty pop trend will stick, or die quickly. I also wonder if it makes that popping sound when you put it on.
Everyone has been speculating about this alleged Apple tablet device due out this month. I’m just going to sit and wait. Why? Because it was “imminent” according to analysts and sources claimed Apple was buying up touch screens a decade ago. It’s now 2010 and we’re playing the same game. When rumors got into a real frenzy in 2001 it turned out to be the iPod.
It’s interesting that many who hate the iPhone’s virtual keyboard are fascinated with the Apple tablet. Like it or not, the Internet is still a text-based medium and will be for some time. I’m skeptical the “minority report interface” will be ready by the end of the month.
So we’ll see what happens. I’ll likely make my usual “predictions” post a day or two before hand.
Now to crunch the numbers for 2009…
Commute:
(6.85 mi [drive] + 47.4 mi [train] + 1.29 mi [subway]) x 2 = 111.08 mi daily
x 255 days
-----------------
28,325.4 mi
Flying:
3,656 mi x 2 = 7,312 mi
779 mi x 2 = 1,558 mi
= 8,870.0 mi
Walk: 1,065.0 mi
Etc (misc, pretty random guess here): ~1,000.0 mi
----------------
Total: 39,260.4 mi
Velocity for 2009: 39,260.4 / 8,760 = 4.43 mph
Laps around Earth: 39,260 mi / 24,901.55 mi (earth circumference at equator) = 1.58 laps
Not bad, more than a lap around the earth! At an average distance of 238,857 miles it would still take 6.08 years to make it to the moon.
