The land of misfit technology

Posted on April 27, 2010 by ThePeachy1 in Moronic Mondays
Island of Misfits meets technology

I have this reoccurring dream, and it was the winter classic with the creepy stop action elf dude who went to the island of misfit toys.

Island of Misfit Toys

This was almost as creepy as Polar Express.

Except it wasn’t toys, it was all my technological gear, and they were blaming me for them being there, and asking me to let them retire to someplace tropical with shuffle board, instead of that cold sad island with the furry beatsie that had the tooth ache.  ( NIGHTMARE MATERIAL) . Here are some visuals to help you understand.  But be warned the following may make you weep.

Broken Motorola Razor Flip phone

It was only 4 months old when " tragedy struck"

Here is a picture of my phone.  Now it was a birthday present from the Droid ( my husband), and it was an upgrade from what I had, so quit laughing.  I loved my phone as it was the first one to get reception in my house.  Since I live in podunk ville USA. Then it got crushed and the screen got broken by “cruella DUH ville” . Yeah she did it on purpose, and yeah she almost flew out the 5th foor of the hospital cause when you aint got much your protective of what you got.  That was December, I still use it. It was only a couple months old when the “incident” happened.  My husband found a replacement screen, and now it sticks out but I wont get cut on the glass. Although I don’t think they would let me on a plane with this thing..

My lappy.. broken screen and all, a thumb did it.

I loved this thing, it was my connection to the world..

Here is a picture of my laptop.  The little sticker is where the warranty department says they wont fix my laptop that was under warranty ( by 11 days when it happened) because somebody accidentally picked it up by the screen and cracked the crystal display.  That was in December. I still use it. Can I see on it  you ask?  Well of course not, it’s broken, but I have it hooked to a monitor which defeats the purpose of a laptop.  AAAAAND again can’t get  on a plane with it, cause I would have to drag an extension cord and external monitor so they could see it boots, since the screen does not work.

I am not going to subject you to my dinosours printers.  They are a tad old, and constantly out of ink and constantly getting paper feed errors.  So I don’t / can’t print anything even though I have boat loads of printers.

Here is my house phone, which on a technology side is a VOIP, however I spiked the damn thing accidentally dropped it one day and broke the display so the caller ID doesn’t work which means, well I clearly can’t answer my house phone because it could be ANYBODY !  Ironically I  spiked the damn thing accidentally dropped it because the VOIP thing was driving me nuts with the delay and the dropping calls, so I blame technology for this.

These are just some of the digital cameras that didn’t even last a year, thru no fault of my own I must say.  NONE covered by the warranty or return policy.

old digital cameras

They are dead, and probably contain meaningful pictures.

Playstation 2

Wait does this go here? It still works...

This is the Princes’  Play Station 2.  He inherited it from his sister who is in her 3rd year of college.  I really don’t think I need to point out we don’t have ipods, and a DS.

Then there  is my GPS, I think the Brandname is DICK DICK, because there is never a situation where I am actually using it and it doesn’t think I am in the middle of a field screaming “turn around”  “turn around”.  It even thinks my house is in a pond that’s about 1/3 a mile from here. “you have reached your destination” well maybe you have reached your destination Dick Dick… kerplunk and splash.

I want a phone I can text from easily. when I say easily I mean one where each word does not contain some weird spanish/english mix because I hit the button 6 times instead of 3. I want to be able to check my twitter, email, facebook and blog all from my phone.  But I also feel a duty to purchase food for  my family each month.   I would love to be able to print, print crazy things, like receipts, invoices, and math work sheets for the prince.  I would love for The Prince and The Sama to have DSI or DS, I would love to provide an IPOD , IPHONE,  Icar that is not the same age as her and possibly dependable, or even an Ischolarship to her last year of college.

But wait……I do have a lovely digital picture frame which rocks socks so I can see that I have great kids.

Digital Picture Fram

I love this, and yes those are my kids feeding a goat.

Kids  who aren’t jealous that they don’t have these things, aren’t spoiled entitled children who will grow into nasty spoiled entitled adults. Who value hard work, saving money and enjoying what you have.   But in the end, as the Queen of the land of misfit technology, I sure would groove on some kickin technology….

Don’t confuse me, it’s just too easy.

Kashi cereal, GOLEANCRISP review

I am not a health foodie, I am not an  exercise type person. I only run if there is a fire or a sale.  All of this is perfectly clear when you see my hot toned svelte body sexy curvy bouncy self.   On a positive note. I LURVE  food. Unfortunately I love food for the taste not for the “what good things it can do for you” aspect. In turn for my 4 decades of eating what I want and not eating what doesn’t make my mouth say, Thank you, when I do my lab work the people often ask if I need a pillow. Yeah so my blood just isn’t that healthy.  I have an issue forcing myself to eat something if I don’t actually like it.  My tall and still skinny dirty rat dear husband gorges him self on everything from greens to chocolate daily explaining his views that it doesn’t have to taste good, it’s fuel, and as long as it doesn’t taste “bad” then you can eat it .  I appreciate his view, and it certainly comes in handy with my cooking, but I just haven’t been able to get on board.

So when Kashi sent me a sample of their Go Lean Crips !  I was a bit worried on how I was going to a) choke it down, and b) to write a polite but not positive review.

So here we go.  Write it down and mark this date on your calendars for EVER, I was wrong and wrong. Yeah you heard me. Wrong.

I poured it in the bowl and added the milk, and prepared myself by reading the box.  Toasted Berry Crumble. Ok that sounds like a desert I could maybe like that.  Wait 9g of protien, 8g of fiber, 7 whole grains?  OH NO… health food.

It smelled good, fruity and I love fruity stuff.  So I took a bite….  HOLY COWS WITH CALVES IN THE RAIN.  It was flipping awesome.  I mean totally YUM.

My brain was confused, the box I was looking at looked all healthy and my tasted buds were screaming, ” bring it on… MORE MORE MORE..”

Honestly I can say this is not a product I would probably ever just grab off the shelf, so if Kashi wouldn’t have sent me this sample there is  a 99% chance I would have never even tried it.  Thank you Kashi, you made my fuel, health and taste yummy. That’s a combo much needed in my life.

This seriously disgusts me..

From MSNBS " No One helps"

Ok so the blog is all about “Being Peachy”. To yourself, to your family to your friends, to strangers. It’s not hard. It doesn’t take any effort to actually smile at someone or say , “hi”. I realize there’s a boatload of suck out there that stumbles into our lives and can bring  you into a “not so peachy” state of mind. I also realize that as humans we have the ability to decide what we give power to. Yes that’s right, as one of your few rights of simply being born, all you have to do is make a conscious decision not to let things control you. With that right, I feel you have some level of obligation to be a non asshat, or if possible a decent human being. Hold the door for the next person, let a car in line in front of you. Basic simple things right? Would it be wrong for me to expect more? Like checking in on an elderly neighbor once in a while, or if you see something happen or someone hurt check on them? Or is it possible that I am expecting too much. I know we are all busy, but seriously people we get one trip on this big rock it wouldn’t hurt to take a second to be kind.

I don't get it...

Just last month I was driving on the Interstate, I saw an SUV that had rolled over. I cut across 3 lanes of traffic U turned in the median and dove out with a blanket and my cell phone in hand. Thankfully the guy was alright, but he was in shock. I simply made him lay on the blanket and be still while we waited for EMS. I also called his wife and let him speak to her and then gave her directions to where he would be taken. It took nothing from me. NOTHING. I will never even know their names. I don’t need to. But if that was my husband I would want someone to do the same. Who wouldn’t? Right? NO EPICALLY WRONG ! Apparently we as a human race have some issues. Like a total lack of empathy or sense of caring for each other. Not all of us, and not all of the time. When the video below came on my screen I couldn’t believe it.  Now below is a video of what has me so flippin ticked I had to share it. Be warned it’s not a nice  example of  humanity. More of my rant after the show which I snagged via MSNBC

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Ok so how did this happen?  Who didn’t at least call 911 and say there is someone on the ground and they look injured?  This is a prime example of the victim, who was not being a Jerk but instead a hero, ended up dying because people walked by, stepped over, or took pictures of him?  WTH?  Where is the girl he rescued from being mugged? Could she have bothered to call ? I am so disappointed.  I have raised my kids to help, not endanger themselves but to help, and the thought that one of my sons could be left in that situation  well….  it seriously disgusts me.  So come on human race, let’s make a movement to try and be a little bit more peachy to one another.
