Like the Internet? Want it to stay free? Check this out.

Two days ago, you might have noticed that some websites you normally use were down or just weren’t working correctly. This wasn’t a coincidence or a mere fluke. On January 18, over 7,000 reported websites shut down to protest legislation that threatens some of the fundamental internet freedoms we enjoy today. And these weren’t [...]

How to Kill Your Phone and Other Digital Devices Before They Kill You

“The first victim, or one of the first, was my telephone. Murder most foul. I shoved it in the kitchen Insinkerator! Stopped the disposal unit in mid-swallow. Poor thing strangled to death. After that I shot the television set!” -Mr. Albert Brock (AKA The Murderer), from Ray Bradbury’s short story The Murderer

That’s a quote from one of my all-time favorite short stories where an insane miscreant, bent on violence, wages war against all forms of technological devices – especially those pernicious noise-making appliances. Mr. Brock systematically kills, maims, and destroys everything in his “talking, singing, humming, weather-reporting, poetry-reading, novel-reciting, jingle-jangling, rockaby-crooning-when-you-go-to-bed house.” The story is equally hilarious and ridiculous, but it offers some serious food for thought about how modern innovation is affecting our quality of life.

In this age of rapid technological expansion, new digital conveniences are emerging faster than we can keep track of. So fast, in fact, that we aren’t totally capable of predicting the consequences of such a cultural shift. For example, we just don’t know if the minuscule radiation given off by cell phones will increase the risk of brain cancer long term. Studies have shown correlative results, but are inconclusive. Sure, a lot of people (in a fringe minority) are concerned about it, yet mobile phone use is still rising almost as fast as the National Debt (ok, maybe not that fast!). We’re a part of a grand experiment with life-altering consequences, and we won’t know the final results until it’s too late. But at least we’ve got apps now.

If you’d like to get an idea of how digital technology has changed our day-to-day lives, and you don’t mind risking the immediate onset of depression, please take a look at the infographic below.

The Complete Shake Weight Review

All of my long-time readers know that I only fully endorse training products that I completely believe in. In an industry where shady marketing and scam products run rampant, it’s of paramount importance that people get clear direction regarding what fitness equipment to invest in. You can count on me to call it like I see it.

Allow me to introduce you to what may change the face of the entire fitness industry. This product has been featured on highly-esteemed and prestigious television shows such as: The Ellen Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Saturday Night Live, The Jay Leno Show, and South Park. It’s been used by the New York Jets, Queen Latifah, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Stone, Chuck Liddell (pro MMA fighter), and Charles Barkley (pro basketball player) among others.

Only a product that guarantee’s “firm and fabulous arms and shoulders” in just six minutes a day could receive so much attention. That’s right folks! Introducing the one – the only – Shake Weight fitness training equipment…gadget…tool…thingy.

Dwayne Johnson, sometimes known as “THE ROCK” in certain underground sub-cultures has been quoted ON RECORD saying “there’s something inappropriately interesting about the motion… And it’s by your face.”

With such a precise analysis and the resulting spike in sales from celebrity exposure, there’s no question in my mind that someone needed to review this product.

Get ready to rock…errr… SHAKE. YOUR. WORLD.
