Free Budget Calculator

We have all been hearing every five seconds how bad our economy is right now. Even after the feds passed a ridiculous bailout bill, things are slowing down fast(did that make sense?). This has got me thinking, "Where is all my money going?" I definitely do not want to waste any money on unnecessary luxury's and seeing a budget already set up would be a nice help.

The CNBC website has a pretty neat little budget calculator for free. What you do is type in your monthly income and it does the rest. It will split your money up based on average percentages.

If anything, it might put your spending in perspective and show that you can save money!

Wobbles Gobbles the Catwalk

Renee has been on a laughter filled hunt for news anchor screw ups late this evening. After scowering YouTube for anything and everything to do with local news fuck ups, she came across this one. It really isn't a screw up more than it is just the most hilarious reaction to a very funny video.

A local news team is showing video of a London Model falling on the catwalk, not once but twice. The video itself is funny enough but the anchor presenting it just loses it live on the air!

I have written about model screw ups before but this one definitely tops them all.

So she makes her way to the front of the catwalk, does her turn and heads back. On her way she just falls. Bam, down on her knees. Then the fun begins.

As she is carrying her watering can (What the fuck?) her boney ankles swivvel back and forth, like she is trying to walk on toothpicks only to slowly fall again! It reminds me of those motorcycle videos when the guy's front wheel whobbles out of control.

I really hope you get a chuckle out of this one!

Trapster: Avoid Police Speed Traps

I have written about getting pulled over before. You know, when those blue lights reflect in your rear view mirror, taking years off your life. Well, I'm here to reveal that you can hopefully avoid the situation altogether!

I am excited to present a new webapp called Trapster. It maps speed traps on your mobile phone with information submitted by users. I have to support someone with an effort like this because of the way traffic laws are today. Just simply a revenue stream for the state instead of "safety" as they like to say. Just more money that they can steal from us like taxes.

Ok, I'm off my rant now. I just installed this webapp on my Blackberry Pearl and am taking it for a spin. So far it seems to work pretty well. I hope this helps you avoid those costly tickets!

Here is a video demonstration:

Ridiculous Rubber Band Gun

This is probably the most pointless post that I will ever write. Let's just hope!

I was wasting some time at work when I stumbled upon this ridiculous video of the most high tech rubber band gun every created. I mean seriously this thing is so fucking crazy! I wonder how much it costs...

Not only that but there are several accessories like laser sites and a mounted flash light haha.

See for yourself.

Home Shopping Network FAIL

Does anyone really watch the Home Shopping Network? Do you actually order something?

There is nothing that brings me more joy than seeing someone fuck up on the HSN. It has happened plenty of times, like when that guy told us that a giant butterfly was a fucking horse. I have another example for you but this has to to do with the host getting hurt. Yes!

The host is trying to sell some fucking home ladder that folds in a bunch of different ways. In all honesty, he could have just used a fucking chair to reach something but whatever.

The best part is that he continues to speak about how safe and sturdy this ladder is...then he fucking falls on his face.

I do not need to say anything more, just watch for yourself.

Open a Bottle of Wine with the Slide Technique

I'm not a very big wine drinker myself but if what the video claims is true, hell that is pretty cool. There has got to be some limitations on this. For instance it must be a certain kind of seal that will allow you to do this.

Basically, he claims that instead of using a cork skrew, you can simply slide the whole cap, if you will, off. Cork and all. He demonstrates it in the below video.

Can someone verify that this is actually true?
