Slugging

Posted by AdamT | Filed under Comedy, Uncategorized

Every now and then a trend arises that is considered revolutionary.  Hitchhiking in the seventies, Ride-Sharing in the nineties, and now Slugging.
When a commuter (Slug) in DC does not want to ride public transit, or to drive, they may wait at a set location where they will be propositioned by a person in a car. The driver usually wishes to get another body into the car so that they can drive in the HOV lane.  The offer will be a destination only, and the commuter will get into the vehicle of the person going his way. Born of an encounter of cheapness with poor planning; this trend has risen and developed its own fratish rules.

Rule #1 Slugs do not talk.

The Woes of Vista - Preformed by Apple

Posted by Jonathan | Filed under Comedy, Software, Technology, Video, Vista

Now, I’m not an Apple fan. I would prefer to use WindowsXP or even a Unix based system. But I have had to deal with Windows Vista on my sisters computer and so far I’m not a big fan, so here’s a little fun at Vistas expense.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Because of all the problems with Vista in the last 11 months since it’s release some people are asking to switch back to XP. I would be one of them until all the bugs are worked out of Vista in 3 years :)
