Philips goLITE BLU Energy Light

Missed Opportunities

Sadly, a power ring is not included. Just the light.

Dear DC Comics,

Really? You're really going to let this go? Nobody over there has thought to cold call Philips and ask if you can go 50/50 on a special Lantern-themed energy light? NOBODY?

Music Monday: Happy Bat-Birthday

Happy Music Monday! You might have known that Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27. And you might have known that the cover of that issue read "May 1939." But did you know that comics often lied about those cover dates for years and years? And did you know that Detective Comics #27 first came out on March 29th, 1939? Holy... um... oh, we don't do that any more? Aw, shucks.

Anyway, Scott's celebrating the tragic death of Tom and Martha with a special bat-focused Music Monday today. Join in, won't you?

Happy Music Monday! Spring has always brought with it a sort of insanity, so today Scott's chosen to collect five songs of madness. Join him in the crazed bacchanalia that is this week's Music Monday! IEEEEEE!

David Bowie - All The Madmen

 

So clearly this is David Bowie playing Syd Barrett, yeah? This skewed look at madness comes from a guy who had his own issues with being homo-superior over the years, so it carries a hint of authenticity. Also it's great.

It only gets nuttier from here, everyone! See you down the rabbit hole after the jump...

Zike Saber Hybrid Bike (Multiple Colors)

Zikes Bikes!

A bike just isn't a bike unless it's a ZIKE BIKE! And a person just isn't a person until they GET ONE!

Do you have a bike? YES!

Is it a Zike Bike? NO!

Does that make you a total loser? YES!

Should you ignore that last comment and just be happy with who you are and what you have? NO!

Would buying a Zike Bike from Woot immediately remedy your loser status? YES!

Could what we're doing right now be considered a form of cyber bullying? YES!

Do we care? NOT EVEN A LITTLE!

Are we compensating for our own shortcomings by manipulating you into buying a thing we've artificially elevated to the level of status symbol so that we feel superior by being more "in the know" than you about cool things? YOU BET!

ZIKES BIKES!

Get one, YA LOSER!

EXCLAMATION POINTS !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The Debunker: Did Feminists Burn Their Bras?

 

March is Women's History Month in much of the English-speaking world. This means the patriarchy is currently keeping the eleven other months for itself but hey, baby steps. Ken Jennings, like many Jeopardy! contestants, would be the first to admit he knows nothing about women. But he'll be with us all month correcting some misconceptions about history—or is it herstory?!?—that even the most ardent Women's Studies majors might miss on the final.

HP ENVY 17.3" Intel i7 Touch Laptop

The laptops are coming for us all!

Look there! On the horizon!

An army of bloodthirsty, super-intelligent, sentient laptops is moving in quickly to enslave us. We must band together to fight off their nefarious advances!

Actually, now that they’re getting closer and I can see better, they look a little less bloodthirsty and a little more like regular laptops. I don’t think we’ll need to fight them off, but we’ll give them a stern warning to keep away.

Ok, now that they’re pretty close I can see that they’re definitely just regular laptops.

Awww and some of them have pictures of puppies up on their screens! They actually seem pretty docile and sweet. Plus, my laptop has ben running kind of slow lately. Would it be the worst thing in the world if I took one home with me?

And that’s how they get us.
