Gotta take it slow this week
What’s up, everybody?!
Did anyone’s computer spontaneously catch fire this morning? No? Well mine did! I’m not sure how long it will take to replace the broken part so updates will be at a minimum this week. I will try to update and like posts from my phone so that there is something to look at while I’m having this down time.
Also, I’ve started updating my...

MALM Bed With SULTAN ALSARP Storage [IKEA Hack]
This is an amazing discovery to a very low-profile bed (which I own). As of now I can’t put anything under my bed because it has a clearance of less than 5 inches. However, one blogger discovered that a full-size SULTAN ALSARP ($270) will fit perfectly inside a full-size MALM ($179) bedframe after taking out the galvanized steel midbeam. The bed also goes for $10 less without the midbeam.

I completely forgot about American Apparel’s Best Bottom contest that sprung up back in January. The winner, BOOM BOOM, from Santa Domingo was crowned back in March. Here is that bottom in all its booty glory:

Deal of the Day: $25 for $50 credit to American...
Check out Groupon where you get a $50 credit for $25 to American Apparel. There’s 3 days to buy this but there’s only a limited quantity available.
Last I read, this LA-based company wasn’t doing so well and on the brink of bankruptcy. You might want to stock up on some basics before this softcore pornography-inspiring empire disappears.

Stately Dutch MILF Magnet [Craigslist ad]
This is a Batavus “PERSONAL” delivery bike. It’s black, has one speed, a coaster brake, a kick stand, chain case, racks, and a dynamo lighting system. I discovered it in the basement of the Smith and Butler boutique in Carrol Gardens last October.
I am selling this bicycle because my therapist suggested I need to come to terms with my attraction to african-american women. No...

New York Teen Earns Six Figures Selling White...
This is 17-year old Fei Lam, and he has sold over $130,000 worth of white iPhone parts since August.
When Apple decided to delay their white iPhone even more, this tech-savvy gadget nerd and high school senior sprung at the opportunity to utilize his passion. He created the site whiteiphonefournow.com to help 500 people (as of this posting) convert their phones.
How’d he do it?...

Adult Chocolate Milk (40 proof)
Boozed up chocolate milk that actually tastes like chocolate milk? I’d be interested to try it and see how it compares to just a chocolate milk + vodka mix (which I also haven’t tried, but I imagine it’s like a poor man’s mudslide). If you buy some, be sure to try out some of the recipes too like this one:
Chocomintini
1 oz Adult Chocolate Milk
1/4 oz Peppermint...

In previous years, the United States did not rank in the top 10 but was...

Layout change
Although the last theme was interesting and colorful, it had its faults and limitations. I’ve opted for a more traditional layout that will now organize posts by topic and my likes displayed at the top of the page. I’m still editing tags and will probably forget to include some posts in these sections, but this is how I intend to organize posts from now on. What do you think?

Mykea: Vinyl designs for your IKEA furniture
It’s nice to have good looking furniture that has great functionality, but it cheapens the good feeling of owning it when you see that everyone else owns it too. Vinyl wrappings are a cool way to personalize stuff whether it be your personal electronics or your furniture. Mykea allows you to do the latter by giving you a selection of available designs from different artists, or you can...

IKEA Minibar [IKEA Hacker]
Materials:
Expedit (shelving unit)
Dioder (lighting)
Hutten (wine rack sawed down to 2 levels)
Rill (casters)
White backboard for background
If you don’t have enough funds to afford a sweet Marin Bar Cabinet, you can always attempt to build your own from IKEA parts with this pretty decent-looking hack. Still too small for my personal bar collection.

Man Dies After Ingesting Enough Caffeine For 70...
A 23-year-old man in the UK has passed away after he reportedly ingested “spoonfuls” of powdered caffeine at a party.
A statement on the caffeine’s packaging says to not ingest more than 1/16 of a teaspoon, but according to testimony given at the inquest, the man swallowed spoonfuls of the caffeine — the equivalent of 70 cans of energy drink. He became ill within a...

Fear of spiders
Oh my god. Just a moment ago I saw a spider crawling on my wall out the corner of my eye. As I grabbed a tissue to dispose of its unsightly creepiness, I ended up knocking it off the wall and into a vase/umbrella holder thing next to my bed.

iPhone trumps average credit card expense per...
The data was taken from a random sampling of 275,000 Pageonce users, and includes at least 5,000 users per platform. And it could mean a whole bunch of things! Either iPhone users spend more money on average, or they have more debt on average, or the simple averaging masks extreme expenditures at the high and low end. BlackBerry and iPhone are arguably the most commonly used enterprise phones,...

Verizon's hidden $70 unlimited text and data plan
Verizon Wireless is testing a new cellular plan that offers unlimited text and data to a limited group of customers for $70. Is it just a one-time promotion by the nation’s largest wireless carrier, or is it the beginning of a new pricing plan that undercuts its main competition?
The new plan offers 450 monthly minutes and unlimited Verizon mobile-to-mobile, texting and data. It’s not...
