It's an iPod shuffle hidden in a bunch of floppy disks. The clips are temporary until I get glue .

I bet that woman wouldn't take is so kindly if her daughter died from the Gardisil vaccine because her school nurse said "Honey, if you don't get this vaccine you could die!" In which her child succumbed to social pressure and took it, without her parent's permission.
Absurd you say? It's legal in California to pop a kid with a vaccine without their parent's consent.
What is the Gardisil vaccine? Glad you pretended to ask! It's a disease you can only catch if your 7 year old is sexually active. Did you hear that right?
They're giving a vaccine to elementary students for a disease that you can only get if your kid is going around having unprotected sex at age 5.
GOLD STAR FOR THE GOVERNMENT!
Why am I going on a giant rant over Gardisil? It killed over 20 girls. Oh. Who forgot to mention that on FOX news.

Yes. I'm a TAD bit concerned about the government when in control of ANYTHING in regard to the internet.
But HELLOO!
You all already allowed the government to have an internet shutoff switch.
You all already allowed the government to wire tap you
You all already allowed the government to enter your home without a warrant
You all already allowed the government to revoke habeas corpus.
(If you dont know what that was, I suggest you look it up)
You all already allowed the government to give children the HPV vaccine without their parent's consent.(The same vaccine that killed more than 47 girls thus far.)
You all already allowed the government to test geoengineering by spreading chemicals on all of us.
(I can go on.)

The zipper design was far more elegant than the cheapo branded ones you can buy at Walmart and the overly inflated ones you can buy from Bose. Plus, they extend far enough that you can actually SHARE headphones with someone else without worrying that you'll rip them out of the other person's ears god forbid you venture more than a foot from their head.
The bass, treble, etc...... Why comment on them! Obviously they surpass others if I'm writing an entire review on them!
Unforgettably, I plugged them into my ipod a few months ago and found them to be mute. When I contacted the company, they sent me a new pair right away. Another few months pass and once again, bad luck me. They quickly sent me a new pair! (I hope you're noticing a trend.) About a week ago, it happened again. I sent them all my previous pairs in attempt to diagnose why this was happening.
Meanwhile, they sent me their new version - which is better than all the rest!
Now don't mind me. I am an example of anecdotal evidence - Meaning that this is not a trend with other buyers.
What you should note however, is their amazing customer service. Plus, you should give it some thought to get yourself a pair. I may not be Cnet, Consumer Reports or Gizmodo, but damn it, these are the buds to buy! With any other company, I would have steered clear of getting a second pair. With Zipbuds, my sisters and cousins all have a pair. Now that's something.
Sincerely, a happy customer!

Recently, I bought one of these laptops to fulfill my childhood dream of owning a Tablet PC.Now, if you're trying to find a tablet PC under $100, this is the laptop to buy. (I got mine for $60 on ebay and +$30 for the special stylus (NO, a DS stylus will NOT work - lesson learned) and an IDE hard drive.) Just for my own use, I bought 2 1GB RAM sticks for $15 each, but that's not at all required.
It's sad to me that a laptop once worth $2,450 USD is now worth barely an iPod.
Until I get the IDE hard drive in the mail, I've been running an Xubuntu live USB
(With no additional work to get the tablet to work!)
And you would think the battery would be crap by now, but I still get around 2 hours worth of use - that's actually more than one of the newer laptops in my household!
I'll be updating my journey with this laptop on the following permanent page (http://jcoinster.blogspot.com/p/my-tablet-pc-old-charm.html) as well as on future blog posts!

Let's face it: There's no winning that game without cheating.I'm telling you right now: One of your friends is going to start cheating (getting 80, 62 and 78 point words that are clearly too advanced for their own personal vocabulary.)
They're going to send you messages saying "I thought you were smart" and "I SWEAR I didn't cheat on that word" but the two words end up being: Bough and Leer.
Perhaps they were Fay or Sows.
Pelts or Helms.
Node or Orcas.
Yet these words, no matter the length, turn out to be upwards of 75 points each.
Perhaps the three letter word will be doubled up, spelling Fa, Wo or Oy
"Words" you'd expect to see the characters of a Japanese Anime show to blurt out.
Don't let them win.
Play their game.
Cheat too.
Why do such an dishonorable thing?
To shove it in their faces that you too can be not only "smart," but intelligent.

Why is it that the US government is run by the Democratic and Republican party?
The last non democrat or republican was in 1850, a whig named Millard Filmore.
"Americans have had elephants and donkeys as president ever since."
Why is it that the independent party runners are made to look like fools by the mass media?(Which might I add, is owned by FIVE companies COMBINED.)

I'd like to start with some background:After WWII, the area which is now Osor, Croatia was under the "Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia."
This simplifies down to: The government was communist.
My great uncle, Zio Antonio, and two of his other friends decided to try escaping communism.... on a row boat. Lost without compass, attempting to steer toward Italy, the boat ends up half way down the 1,104 mile long coast of Croatia. Who would imagine that a large fishing boat would have spotted them despite the fact that they were in a row boat! Further, who would imagine that that the captain of the ship was a man who lived in his hometown of Osor........living across the street from him his entire life.

So the boat drops them off in Italy and they ask for political exile and that's that.
Another thing I learned in this conversation was that my grandma, who originated in Ventotene, Italy (Shown above) met her husband from Osor by prank calling him for MONTHS, until, he figured out who had been calling him. All the girls who were involved in the scheme were offered to dinner so he could finally meet the girls he had wondered so much about.
After the dinner, my grandfather walked out with the "main" prank caller, who spoke to him the most, holding an umbrella over her head, and they all went to see a movie.
When the movie was over, my grandpa was holding the umbrella over my grandma instead.

DO NOT LET SPRINT CHEAT YOU OUT!
They told me I had a defective battery (but really because the default battery SUCKS)
They persuaded me to buy a FIFTY dollar battery replacement that couldn't even charge within the phone (It had its own charger), nor improve my battery life!
Frustrated, I went on eBay. What was one of the first results? The battery that would soon be my savior.
Its price? $7.75
After using it for months now, it hasn't lost hold and the general hold lasts from 6 AM to around 8-11 PM (Depending on use.) That's around 15 hours!
You can buy one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300600202955?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1310wt_1139
I guarantee you will be MORE than pleased! Plus, it was from NJ, not Hong Kong.
No, i'm not affiliated with this company; the most interaction ive had with them was a positive feedback on eBay. I'm just thrilled with the item and I don't want anyone falling into sprint's trap!!

I've been trying to do this for months! Finally, facebook released a way to do this without screenshot addons and "Auto-click Old Posts" extensions that dont even work. 
Just go to: https://www.facebook.com/settings?ref=mb and click "Download a copy of your Facebook data."
A few hours later, you'll receive an email with a link to do so.
Why should you do this?
You never know when your account is going to be reported and deleted.
You never know when the government is going to shut down the internet.
You never know when you want to make your facebook page into a photo poster (My original goal)

This song relates to Robert A. Hawkins, a disturbed kid who decided to go on a killing spree at the Westroads Mall in Nebraska. In his suicide note, he wrote "I'm going out in style"
Psychological issues or not, Foster The People's song was created not in dedication to him but placing others in his thoughts. Hearing my 3 year old sister attempt to chant "All the other kids with the pumped up kicks You'd better run, better run, outrun my gun" is NOT comforting. It is telling others to who are being made fun of, picked on and bullied to pick up a gun and SHOOT!
