My goodness, it is hot.

My goodness, 10,000 pushups in a little over 3 hours at the age of 6 is incredible. Actually, anybody who can do 10,000 pushups must be Superman. I just have a hard time believing that Superman is so tiny!

Little Miss Sunshine, one of the movies I really want to watch, is getting some really good reviews. See the Little Miss Sunshine review on metacritic.

Like every week, there are new secrets.

I like Cafe Metro.

Meebo is fantastic. I don’t think I’ll ever use the AIM program again. Google Talk me.

I’ve always wondered what RSVP meant. Now I know.

Well well, Keira Knightley has boobies and a tan–in the US only.

I love the idea behind this World Time Clock. You just flip the clock onto one of the 12 sides to see the time it is in a different part of the world. Each side corresponds to a specific time zone. With this, all of your time zones will be shown on one face. But how do you manage all 12 without going through memory?! The clock comes in black, red, stainless steel, and a nifty travel size edition. Thanks Joyce for this.

HAHA! Turning a WiFi freeloader’s internet completely upside down sounds so fun! I just wish I knew what I was doing if I were to do this. I wonder if Norman knows what this thing is talking about.

Business Week online has a neat little feature on the top 100 global brands. Check out the top 100 global brands slideshow. Also look at their special feature on the web’s most viral ads. If it wasn’t just looking at viral advertisements, I could easily think of so many more videos that have been huge internet phenomenons. Maybe I’ll make a small post about my favorite internet viral videos tomorrow. Stay tuned for that.

This is absolutely fantastic. The CEO of Morgan Creek Productions, the production company responsible for hiring Lindsay Lohan for the movie, Georgie Rule, has written a hilarious letter to Lindsay Lohan basically telling her that she should get her act together and start showing up for work instead of heading out late at night to go party.
See: People, E! on Yahoo! News, and ABC.

I don’t write much about celebrities here, but I just had to put this out there: Haley Joel Osment is old! Oh yeah, and he got into a car accident…driving his 1995 Saturn. WTH.

Man, I am tired. And there are SOOO many things on my mind. 8O

I’ve been using Google Talk for a while now, and very recently, I have more or less been using it as my primary online communication tool (with the exception of email). Since my move over to full-time web-based email through Gmail, I have found that using Google Talk is very useful productive. And since many of my usual contacts are using Gmail acocunts anyway, Google Talk just makes it that much easier to contact them and plan things (through Google Calendar).

Up until now however, Google Talk was kinda bare-bones, meaning that it was purely for chatting purposes only. It didn’t have some of the other features of other chat clients, like file transfer, for example. Well, the old Google Talk has come and gone, and the new Google Talk test version includes several new and useful features like file transfer (YES!) and a voicemail feature. It also has a way for you to include what you’re listening to at the moment in your profile, which is kinda pointless I guess, but it’s cool I guess.

Check out what’s new in the latest version of Google Talk, and then download it from here. When you install it, hit me up on it. Talk to you guys later!

*EDIT: HOLY CRAP! The voicemail option is sooooooo awesome! The voicemail comes into your inbox as flash audio. There’s virtually no loading time whatsoever. Check out the image below to see what it looks like in your inbox. EVERYBODY MUST DOWNLOAD AND USE GOOGLE TALK NOW. I INSIST ON IT!!!!

*EDIT AGAIN: You can leave a voicemail up to 10 minutes long. HOLY MOLY. Google is going to take over the world! This is so fun!

How a menstrual cup works. In the second photo, is that grey stuff in the rectum poopoo?!

Sorry if this embarasses some of you who are viewing from work or even home. The human body is the human body, no?

Anyway, check out this interesting little “body gadget” I first learned of the other night while talking to Joyce (who is still way too far away in Melbourne, AU <-- That's Australia, for the numb nuts).

It’s called a menstrual cup and a woman sticks the device INTO her vagina during her period. Unlike a pad or a tampon, the mentrual cup does not absorb blood. Instead, the device collects blood in the “cup” part of the device so that the user can empty out the contents and reuse the thing for up to 10 whole years! The most popular brand of menstrual cups is The Keeper (Err, I guess you can order yours today from their website).

Yeah, I know, it’s nothing new at all. In fact, the menstrual cup is quite an age-old idea with women all around the world still relying on its capabilities to handle Aunt Irma’s monthly visit. I’m only posting about it because for the first time in a very long time, I learned something new about feminine hygiene. Of course, the whole idea of the menstrual cup is still kinda gross, and Joyce and I were definitely gagging at the thought of how it must be like to use (…).

In a woman’s lifetime, she is likely to use 15,000 sanitary pads or tampons. The Keeper® is the economical, environment-friendly alternative. Over 12 BILLION pads and tampons are USED ONCE and disposed of annually, clogging our overburdened landfill sites. An average woman throws away 250 to 300 pounds of tampons, pads and applicators in her lifetime. The great majority of these end up in landfills, or as something the sewage treatment plants must deal with.

And…

A bell-shaped cup can also “hurry on” a woman’s period by one or two days, because of the mild suction that it creates. Some women have also reported shorter periods from this mild suction.

Haha, I know it’s a horrible thought, but I keep thinking that tampons and devices like the menstrual cup above must feel like…a penis…inside you…all day. 8O
Anyone who wishes to confirm that thought or disprove that thought to me is totally welcome to. But hey, it’s all cool if its your preference over another product. Who am I to tell women what to wear and use, right?
