Just in case your murderous houseplant’s incessant singing and bloodthirsty rampages aren’t quite high enough maintenance for you, the folks at ThinkGeek have available a DIY Plant Twitter Kit.

Now your psychotic Sago Palm, berserk Begonia or unhinged Umbrella Tree can pummel you with constant tweets, just like your other, non-photosynthetic friends.

And I quote:

Once the kit is assembled, connect it to the Internet through the built-in ethernet jack, jam the leads into the plant’s soil, and subscribe to the plant’s twitter feed. It will tell you when it needs watering, or scold you if you’ve overwatered it, and report its status in between.

I think they may have gone too far this time.

FEED ME SEYMOUR!

My Moo Minicards came in!

First of all, I have to aplogize for the quality of the photo. Besides being the best device in the world for sending SMS messages, the Sidekick is also the worst phone ever and has the brightest flash conceivable placed directly next to the camera lens, rendering it useless for illuminating your subject in dim lighting. It does, however, isolate and measure the electronic impulses in your brain. More specifically, the ones for memory.

So, my moo cards came in on Friday and I’m very pleased with them. The cards are a little narrower and a little taller than half a standard business card. They’re handy to pass out when meeting a new trick friend without giving out your work details. The boxes come in increments of 100 and you can either upload photos or have them slurped out of your flickr or facebook albums (and others photo sites too). You can upload as many as you like, so theoretically you could have 100 different cards. I uploaded 15 images, I think. I would have used my flickr account directly, but I wanted a few banksy cards, which weren’t in my photostream.

Of all the cards, I’m only disappointed in a few of them. The pics of my concert tickets all came out very dark, as did the picture of my collarbone x-ray. These were dark to begin with, so I can’t blame the folks at Moo, but would have been nice if they would have noticed it and brightened them up a bit. They’re not totally illegible so I’ll still use them.

Here’s the cards on my table along with a mint tin that I’m re-purposing to use as a carrying case. :)

YES WE DID!

It’s total pandemonium in Dupont. Gays are cruising up and down the street hanging out their car windows, honking their horns, screaming like queens and singing Kool and the Gang.

If I was still in New Orleans I’d swear they announced someone made meth that tastes like dick.

Just sayin’.
