This is one wacky commercial for snack chips that are shaped like ears. I don’t have much to say, except that the dog gives me the creeps, and this does not make me want potato chips in the least!

I was given an old laptop, and I wanted to sell it , but it seems that nobody is buying really old laptops right now… or at least they aren’t willing to pay what I think this laptop is worth. My alternative is to keep it and buy a wireless card for it. Then I’ll use it when I’m on the go. That would be pretty cool. So, I went shopping for a wireless device, and found that the best offline price was in the low $30 dollar range, and that was on sale . I also found out that these cardbus accessories were dated technology that was on the way out.

So, I went online and found this laptop wifi adapter for a hair under fifteen bucks, shipped! I think I’m going to buy it. I’ll definitely buy it if I decide to keep the laptop… and if I don’t keep it, this will help me sell it faster.

To be honest, I wouldn’t use the laptop very often, but if I found myself running around… say, shopping, then I could use it to locate stores and get phone numbers, etc. But seriously, I don’t get out much, so this probably isn’t going to happen. If I really needed to get out of the house, I could chill out at a coffee shop with this thing! Also, it would be great for vacations. It would be perfect for traveling, because I wouldn’t have to worry too much about breaking it, since it’s so inexpensive. Also, if I decide to keep it, I’m totally putting ubuntu linux on it.

When it comes to sawing through stuff underwater, your typical gas/electric chainsaws simply won’t cut it, pun or not.

So what does it take to run a chainsaw underwater? Compressed air! This chainsaw whips out about four horsepower using compressed air- like mechanics use- to cut stuff to pieces. Let’s just hope you can stomach the three thousand dollar price tag!
