Video Review: Mophie Juice Pack Air
May 12th, 2009
(Rating: 4 Stars)
See the video review of the Mophie Juice Pack Air below:
Pros:
- Smallest battery case on market
- Standby switch allows you to charge iPhone only when you need to
- Can leave it on the phone all the time without much added bulk
- Does not add much to the width and height of phone
- Shows charge on LED’s when charging, seems to fully charge in under 2 hours
- It almost doubles the battery life of the phone. (watch 2 hour movie, play games for an hour, and still have enough battery power to use it the rest of the day)
Cons:
- Makes the very sleek and slim iphone fatter
- Expensive, $79.99 for only 1200mAh of battery power (but still should be enough power for most)
- Does not cover the front of the phone
- Micro USB charge / sync cable might be hard to find if you forget to bring it with you
Overall:
Great Build Quality, Standby switch is great, only flaw is the bulk it adds to iPhone. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an extra battery / case that can go anywhere that they do.
The Guide to Driving Etiquette
May 11th, 2009
The following is a guide created for all those out there who don’t know the unspoken rules of the road. If you are violating any of the rules of this guide, we ask you to kindly adjust your driving practices… or get the *&^@ off the road. If you have anything to add, please comment. I plan on adding to this as I remember things.
Intersections:
Don’t enter an intersection if it’s clogged
You see that the other side of the intersection is full, but you pull forward into the intersection because you don’t want to miss the light. The light turns red, and your still sitting in the middle of the intersection blocking one or several lanes of traffic going the other way. You are then instantly added to the shit list of at least a dozen people, all of which, at least for an instant, want to kill you.
What to do?
Pay attention, if the other end of the intersection is clogged, STOP, you might miss the light, but does it matter? You can either wait here, or wait 30 feet ahead, and run the right of pushing a guy who just got fired slightly over the edge and attempting to give you what you deserve.
Don’t change lanes in the middle of intersections, you’re an idiot!
You like to drive really fast, and get where you’re going using the most gas possible. Sure, you can do what you want, but if you try to change lanes in the middle of an intersection, you going to get people killed. Remember, people are turning on red.
Exception: if you’re clogging traffic in one lane, and the light turned red, get the hell out of the intersection and into the other lane.
Passing lane
The passing lane is not for Sunday drivers
The passing lane is where you go when you want to drive faster than others. There are several rules to driving in the fast lane.
1) If you are going slower than other around you, you need to be in the right lane. This also means that if you are on a 4 lane highway, and you are going slower than others, you need to keep moving right until people stop passing you.
2) If you have cruise on and want to move to the left lane to pass a truck. There is a vehicle approaching in the left lane moving much faster than you.
- Right: move into the left lane and accelerate to pass the truck, minimizing the amount the person behind you has to slow down.
- Right: Turn off cruise, let the car behind you pass in the left lane, then turn on cruise and pass the truck.
- Wrong: Stay at your current speed, and move to the left lane in front of the car behind you. Take 7 minutes to pass the truck, and get put on someone’s “People to kill list”
If you are riding my ass, you better pass me
You are passing in the left lane, and someone behind you is riding your ass real hard. After you pass a car, you move over to the left, but the car behind you who was riding your ass either a) takes 10min to pass you or b) he moves in behind you and keeps riding your ass. Listen people, if you are riding my ass that means you are in a F***ing hurry and really need to pass me. If that is not the case, back off.
I’m passing on the right because I’m a speed freak
There are times when you have to pass on the right because people don’t understand some of the above rules above, but, there are also times to wait to pass. You are waiting to pass a car that is in the left lane ahead of you, but they are passing another car on the right. You both pass the car in the right lane, but before the car in front of you has time to move over, you dart into the right lane like a bat out of hell and pass him. Here is why you are an idiot: 1) Most people will move over for you in a few seconds, and you can continue on without messing up the flow of traffic. 2) This keeps the slower car from moving out of the left lane, so cars behind you also move right to pass the car on the left. This ends up totally F***ing traffic flow, and slowing everyone down.
Turn signal use
Use your signal, or don’t bitch about traffic jams caused by accidents
You have to move you hand only about 2 inches to flick the turn signal lever, if you complain about this, you either change lanes too much, or you’re a fat, lazy ass. Your turn signal lets other people know what your crazy ass is doing. Even if you are driving like an idiot, people will know what you are doing and take evasive action to avoid you.
Speeding
Speeding gets you to places faster, you don’t have to speed, but if others want to, let them
Never sit in the left lane going slow, but not care, because you are an innocent traffic regulator. Your just an asshole.
Alternate Feed
If someone lets you in, don’t close the door on others
Alternate feed is fair. You are not exempt from waiting at the expense of others, so let other people in.
Cell Phone Use
Some people suck at multi tasking
In some states, talking on your cell phone is illegal. I’m not going to give you a disclaimer about not talking in these states because speeding is also illegal, and we still do it, so everyone should follow this rule:
If you suck at multitasking you should know it. If you don’t, ask a trusted friend. So here is the deal… if talking on your cell phone makes you a drive like a drunk who just robbed a bank, please either invest in a hands free headset, or stop altogether. You can practice multitasking by talking on your phone while folding laundry and petting your dog.
Traffic Jam
Don’t be that ass that flies by everyone and tries to merge at the roadblock
If you see that you need to merge ahead, turn on your turn signal (do you remember how we talked about the turn signal?) and try to get over. If you fail, move up a few cars and try again. Never fly by everyone and try to merge at the last second, this is what makes these types of jams move so slow. I have taken very evasive action to make sure assholes that do this are not able to merge, and so should the rest of you!
I will add more as I get them.
First Post!!1!!1!
March 11th, 2009
I figured I would title my first post in tribute to the first post idiots out there… I solute you!
Today is day one, and surely there will be no one reading this post. That is why I will keep the content short.
I talked with AT&T yesterday. Did you know that if you go way over on your cell phone bill you can call them and have them remove a bunch of the charges. This is basically a courtesy that AT&T offers to its customers. You are only supposed to be able to do this once, but if you are nice they might do it a few times 
Also, don’t let them fool you with the “You will need to up your plan” garbage, according to the rep. manager, you don’t need to do that. All you have to do is ask the rep. nicely.
