This is no longer a blog

This is your livelihood; not in the sense that it earns you your wages but in the sense that if you don't check in every so often you will wither away and become a puddle. That's right, my very existence is your addiction. Just like you need air, water, and food, you need my hilarious and insightful commentary.

To give you this, I'm about to sum up all of the news items the media have been blabbering about, because they can't get to the point:

• Egypt: Maybe under new management, but the customer service still sucks!
• Wisconsin: If they were a cellular provider, they'd actually be worse than AT&T.
• Charlie Sheen: Not much to say but "Sorry, Charlie... I'm pretty sure my Zeus DNA beat's your Adonis."

Now that's out of the way, it's time to point out things that actually matter:

• Entry level keytars are around $300. The Rock Band 3 keytar is $60, but also has much of the same functionality as a "real" keytar. Harmonix isn't just toying with the rules of economics, they've become the invisible hand! 
• K-V Pharmaceutical Co. has gotten exclusive rights to sell the same birth-delaying drug pharmacies have been mixing up in-house for $20; but K-V plans to make mothers pay out the nose to keep their babies from being premature. $1500 per dose is quite a large increase from $20. That's more than my brother's college tuition. http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-heb-premature-drug-03092011,0,4847507.story 
• More patent trolling: LG and Sony are squabbling about patents on trivial features of their products, and now there's a 10-day import ban on PS3's into the European Union. Now seems like a good time to get into the smuggling business.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-1260737
• I'm in your house, watching you read this. That also matters, even though its not news.
