What brand?

Man chugs a litre of vodka rather than toss it or pay to have his carry-on checked.

Yes he suffered alcohol poisoning.  Wow, a whole litre.  Like a college idiot… except dude was 64.

Leave the past the past

UPS, the new NASCAR

Posted by eugene on December 12th, 2007

No more left turns.  Or is Nascar only left turns?  I don’t know.  Shows how much I know about stock car (like they’re really stock) oval racing.

Regardless, UPS is using routing software to keep their trucks from wasting time by idling while waiting for left turns.

not a bad idea

Sleep.FM - social networking for sleeping.  Well really alarm clocking.  You can record custom wake up messages for friends, family, network.  I know it’s changing more and more, but I don’t know many people out of college that sleep with a running computer next to their bed.  Though I can see this being used by parents to send their college (and I suppose high school) attending slacker kids a nice wake up message or hell, even a “You should be studying” message at random times.  And then of course this software would be quickly banished from all college computers because college kids are dumb, but not that kind of dumb.
