So long bad-attitude retail salesperson...

The picture above (from Gadgetell.com) is of the Zoom Box, which is basically a candy machine for stuff way more expensive than a Snickers Bar. This particular one, which was found in the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel, is stacked with iPod's and PSP's. Don't worry, there is no magnetic arm that you have to fiddle with to pick up a box. Instead you just charge whatever you want to your credit card, and it's yours. No games, and no frustrated kids asking mom and dad for another quarter.

For the record, I always got two quarters. Never less, never more. It helped teach me the value of money. And that my parents don't like giving out quarters.

Siruis has so far been a good purchase. I listen to Stern for about a half hour in the morning and then get some music going throughout the day. So far, channel 35, "Chill", is my favorite. I guess that means I'm pretty chill. Finally.

Had an interesting discussion with a friend yesterday about writing more personal things here on The Daily Dave. Thing is I don't know him too well, so I don't think I could really shed any insight into his personal life.

No, actually, I've been thinking about opening up more, even though I think I do give a certain view into my life through my style and the topics I write about. I'm conflicted about it because there is nothing worse than a blog that becomes a soap-box. Well, a celebrity talking politics is worse, but besides that, I mean. So what do you think? You want more openess or should I keep ya guessing?

Does anyone care about this whole Alito guy that's being nominated for the Supreme Court? I know I should care, but with the war and the rising price of milk, I just don't have room in my brain for this kind of stuff right now.

Here's a quick impression of Phil Jackson coaching. "Shoot, Kobe, Shoot!" I could do that for 10 million a year, too.

Okay, time to do the dishes. Yea, big stars do things just like the little people.
