p1753ex3 Celebrity Weighing Scale Why is everyone in this country so weight obsessed… and why are we all so obsessed over how much Celebrities weigh? Pick up an issue of Star magazine and you’ll notice pages dedicated to who looks good in a swim suit and who doesn’t, who lost a few pounds recently and who gained. The Celebrity Weighing Scale mocks our celebrity-weight obsessed culture by replacing measurement units with the names of celebrities, historical figures as well as a few fictional characters. If you stand on this scale and land on Yoda, you rock. If you land on Gary Coleman – how will you be able to look at yourself in the morning? The Celebrity Weighing Scale is available in blue or white and retails for $34.95.

Pinger Aims to Replace Text Messages with Instant Voice Messages

pinger Pinger Aims to Replace Text Messages with Instant Voice MessagesPinger is a free service that allows you to send a voice message to anyone with a phone, without having their phone ring. Essentially, it’s like a sending a text message but it’s with voice instead of text. Once you sign up, you import your contacts (Gmail, Outlook and most popular email services are supported). Pinger than supplies you with a free personal local number which you use for sending and receiving messages. When you’re ready to send a message, you dial your personal number, say the name of one of the people listed in your contacts and leave the message you want sent to them. Pinger also allows you to send the same message to multiple people at once. Each person gets a text message letting them know that they have a new voice message which they can listen to by calling a number instructed in the text message. Furthermore, all the messages that you ever send and receive are stored in your Pinger.com account so that you can access them at any time via the web. Overall, we can definately see how Pinger could be useful in certain situations. Voice messages are definately more personal than text messages, and thus are generally a more affective way to get a message across. The fact that Pinger works with every mobile phone is a nice touch as well. However, maybe we’re just cheap but Pinger isn’t something that we would use if we had to shell out cash for it.
