If you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, it’s now easier than ever to sync with your Google Calendar. Before I was using NuevaSync which is a great service that’s free and works with Google Calendar, Google Contacts, and Plaxo. But now you can sync directly through Google as long as your iPod has firmware 2.2 or higher. Here’s how…
First of all, back everything up that you need to. Upload any contacts or calendars from your phone to your computer because the iPod will delete them all during setup. It’s kind of annoying, but it’s great once you’re synced up. I went through this process myself and everything went smoothly.
Here’s the link to the official Google page from where I took these instructions and pictures:
Sync: Set Up Your iPhone or iPod Touch
1. Open the Settings application on your device’s home screen.
2. Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
3. Tap Add Account….
4. Select Microsoft Exchange.

Just to show that they don’t care about old people, nearly 500 US TV stations will begin broadcasting in only digital early (since Congress passed the delay).
Nielsen recently reported that 6.5 million U.S. homes were unprepared for the upcoming transition.
Just who are the people who are left not able to do this switch? For heaven’s sakes, they’ve been advertising this switch thing for over 2.5 years. Anyone that doesn’t have cable/satellite/a digital converter box probably deserves to be without TV for a while. I am willing to bet that even when the switch happens, there will still be several millions who didn’t see it coming…

If you didn’t already know, Iowa has a stupid law that says anything over 5% ABV is considered a liquor. That means according to Iowa Law, the only things that are considered beer are the Light Domestics, etc (AKA urine). This means any specialty beer is most likely considered a liquor, and is taxed more, causing less beers in Iowa.
This is CRAP! I myself like specialty beer, and if only we changed this law, life would be better…

CNET recently wrote about that the RIAA and MPAA are no longer going after the little guy, but instead are enlisting the help from ISP’s. Today, CNET wrote about an ISP owner in Louisiana who doesn’t mind, as long as he is compensated for his work, but the big companies are slow to pay for protection:
guys you have sent me 3 threats now without proof. We all know IPs are easily spoofed. I have asked for your billing information so we can have a contract signed and full understanding of what i do. If you want me to work for you you should expect to pay. I dont work for free.
All that was needed after that was a “Love, Your Friendly Neighborhood ISP”.

So I was reading through Cracked’s Music Trends That Must Be Stopped, and I read about #2: Warbling Diva + Menacing Dude Rapper = PROFIT. In the article, it has a link for the “Music Video” called “Smell Yo Dick” (NSFW), and it is the WORST SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD. Terrible. People like this should seriously be taken out back a beaten with a stick. Please stop making the world worse for all of us. Please.
