I stayed awake half the night thinking of how I would address the media this morning when I was announced as the Mega-Millions Lottery winner. Then after just a few hours sleep, I went straight to my computer this morning only to find that some a$$holes in Georgia and California ripped me off! Forget The Italian Job or The Great Train Robbery. THIS is the crime of the century! ;)

From the highest of high tech....
This was on the BBC news this morning, and for someone technologically challenged like myself, it's just science fiction at its freakiest. Have you heard of Google Glass? I had to look it up, and this is what I found:
"Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project. It displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format that can communicate with the internet via natural language voice commands."
And it's here, now. And the new, improved version goes beyond voice commands and can react to simple commands via a wink.
"Imagine a day where you're riding in the back of a cab and you just wink at the meter to pay....or you wink at a pair of shoes in a shop window and your size is shipped to your door," Google said in a blog post.
So here's what I want to know: What do you do when you suddenly develop a twitch in your eye? I don't know why/how those things happen, but they do. So you're walking through Macy's, or maybe through the Ajax Liquor Store or Monique's Sex Toy Emporium one day and you have a sudden twitch, or you sneeze or hiccup, and the next thing you know a crate shows up at your door and your bank starts calling to say you're overdrawn. What then?
I wonder if those brainiacs at Google ever think of things like that?
....to the lowest of low tech
So you're not exactly a mental giant, you've spent all your money on tattoos and dew rags, it's late at night, and you're thirsty. What do you do?
You take your pet alligator down to the corner beer barn and barter. "Hey, buddy, you wanna trade a 12 pack for a 'gator?"
No joke....I really couldn't make this up.
Happy Hump Day everyone. :)
