Bootlegging lemonade as a 7 year old?
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When health inspectors cite you for it, get famous.
Julie Murphy, a 7-year-old Oregonian, set up a lemonade stand on July 29 at an art fair in northeast Portland. County health inspectors shut her down, however, telling Julie and her mother, Maria Fife, that they needed a temporary restaurant license, which costs $120. The penalty for selling food without a permit, they warned, was $500. At 50 cents a cup, that’s a lot of lemonade.

She spent less than 2 weeks of her 3-month sentence and it makes national headlines? My goodness.
After serving 13 days of a three-month sentence in a Los Angeles county jail, Lindsay Lohan was released at 1:35 this morning and driven straight to a rehab facility. According to the Los Angeles Times, sheriff’s spokesperson Steve Whitmore confirmed that the 24-year-old actress would go straight to a court-ordered treatment facility upon release, but he would not name the program.

If she sued over the E*Trade commercial where a baby named “Lindsay” was portrayed as a “milk-a-holic”, I surely anticipate she will sue over this one. Except she will likely win. Silly Hustler, not getting approval.. It was only a matter of time and Hustler beat everyone to the punch with “Lindsay Goes to Jail”, [...]
Darth Vader makes a hasty cash withdraw
Speaking of Darth Vader (see post below), I’m almost through my 7-movie Star Wars set at home. I went movie-chronological order, starting with the later trio of Episode I, II, and III — except I threw in the CGI ‘Clone Wars’ between II and III, and then continued with the old Episodes IV, V, and [...]

Regardless of what you think about the whole iPhone 4 antenna debate, there’s no denying that it’s fueling a massive amount of creativity on the Internet. My three favorite lines from this video: “Are you seriously defending the new phone by saying that it almost performs as well as the old phone? Is that what [...]
Did we test this?

After seeing photos of an iPhone bursting into flames (faulty USB connection port on the phone) and the myriad of antennae problems and “fixes”, it’s safe to say the new iPhone 4 was never tested. I am, however, loving the new operating system that I upgraded to on my iPhone 3GS (which still works wonderfully, [...]
Danimal vs Animal
OK go’s drummer Dan (Danimal) vs Animal from The Muppets — staring contest, who wins?!? Here’s what one blogger learned watching OK Go shoot this video: 1) When the Muppets are ready to stop performing (at least in a setting like the Webbys) before the puppeteer takes his hand out of the muppet, someone puts [...]

View this cute text-to-speech video about how good the new iPhone 4 is. I got a kick out of it, my coworker got a kick out of it, and I’m about to listen to it again. There’s some pretty hilarious quotes. See how ignorant some Apple-lovers can be! Enjoy!~
The iPhone 4 has perfect reception, what are you talking about?
As per Steve Jobs, there is nothing wrong with the reception on the iPhone 4. You’re just holding the phone wrong. All of us, who have had iPhones for several years, have been holding them wrong this whole time. It all makes sense now! Depending on how you hold your iPhone 4 during calls you [...]
