…because surfing the net on your laptop while driving isn’t illegal in CA – yet.
Autonet Mobile is the first internet service designed for your car. Unfortunately, it is too overpriced for me to even want it. I mean, maybe for that long roadtrip with youngish kids, but really? A one year contract at $30.00? It is pretty cool though….
Anyway, here it is:
If you have trouble using Google, here is the site for you:

And here is some weirdness:
And here are some facts and figures about Valentine’s Day for your Valentine’s Day reading pleasure:
- The lovers’ holiday traces its roots to raucous annual Roman festivals where men stripped naked, grabbed goat- or dog-skin whips, and spanked young maidens in hopes of increasing their fertility.
- In the Middle Ages, there was a belief that the first unmarried person of the opposite sex you met on the morning of St. Valentine’s Day would become your spouse.
- Hallmark began selling cards in 1913. Since then the market for Valentine’s Day cards has increased beyond lovers to include parents, children, siblings, and friends.
- Americans will spend about $14.7 billion in retail sales on Valentine’s Day in the United States.
- The average U.S. consumer is expected to spend $103 on Valentine’s Day gifts, meals, and entertainment, down from $123 per person in 2008. (from seattlepi)

Oscar: She had done a background check on me, she had it printed out.
Jim: No…
Oscar: Yeah. And she was asking me about stuff, line by line, while we were having dinner.
Toby: That is unbelievable.
Pam: What is going on?
Jim: We are doing worst first dates.
Now you too can have the upper hand on your next first date.
Want to get an almost free digital converter for that dinosaur TV or yours?
Then check this out….couldn’t have said it better myself:
“….if you still want the luxury of watching TV on your TV, but want digital quality picture, buy the digital converter box ($50 at Wal*Mart, $10 if you have the government coupon [dtv2009.gov]). The picture is amazing, you can get about twice as many channels as with analog, and the best part is that it is completely free. You might need to upgrade your antenna to get the most out of it (we recommend the GE Quantum Antenna HD3 for about $30).” -A.Skrivan
What is wrong with you?
- Cable is ridiculously overpriced.
- Most of it isn’t worth watching.
- You can only watch what they want you to watch when they want you to watch it (unless you pay more for TiVo).
- Commercials are forever.
- You could be using that money to _______
Hulu.com:
- Ridiculously free and legal
- Has most major channels and a bunch of movies.
- You can watch it whenever and where ever and pick up where you left off.
- Commercials are 30 seconds (or non-existent if you have Safari-ad blocker)
- Since you’re not paying over $60 for cable you can always rent additional movies you want through Netflix or Blockbuster.
