Earlier this week, American Airlines began offering in-flight WiFi on domestic flights in the US - for a fee of course. Now we’ll all have to do work instead of catching 40 winks or checking out the latest box-office releases… Bummer…. The good news though, is that AA banned all VOIP services, meaning the sales guy sat next to you, you know the one, he ordered a vodka tonic (and then pulled out a hip flask to keep himself going) and spent the last seconds before they closed the door yelling at his poor associate, anyway, I digress, AA banned all VOIP or so they thought. It took about a week before several people realised you could use Flash audio to get around the protocol ban. Damn…. So if you’re big into annoying the guy sat in seat 3D (ie, Me) then head over to Phweet and get busy… just do it quietly.

I just got my hands on a pair of Adidas CSC sneaks (thx Chad)… They completely rock. These rare shoes (try and find a pair on Ebay!) are a collaboration between CSC and Adidas to create their own version of the Top Sala. This black shoe features red and gold accents, which are traditional Chineses colors as well as the team’s colors. Only 350 pairs of these special shoes will be available worldwide. They were released on June 14th and you are pretty much SOL if you need a pair. Sorry guys. In the meantime, I’m still looking for a pair of Ivan Lendl’s or Forest Hills….

As the proud owner of a Porsche Cayenne, I took a look around the interweb to see where I could chat and discuss Cayenne things with fellow owners. Amazingly there was no online community for Cayenne owners. Until now. The Cayenne Club is a place where you can discuss mechanical and technical things about your Cayenne. So if you have an S, GTS, Turbo or the brand new Cayenne Turbo S, head over to the Cayenne Club and join the growing community.

Valentine’s Day is like herpes: just when you think its gone for good, it rears its ugly head once more. No wonder some people prefer to call it VD. Yes, it’s that special time of year when chocolate manufacturers and greetings card companies encourage you to demonstrate the extent of your fondness in cold, hard, cash (or the satin-covered equivalent) on February 14th. If you despise VD then you gotta check out the Anti Valentines Day site at meish.org…. I’ve no clue why they are so mad, but damn, they have some pretty funny cards for you to send to your soon-to-be-ex.

This year, celebrate or commiserate by sending an anti-valentine. Stick two fingers (or one, if you’re that way culturally inclined) at any organisation with a vested interest which prescribes how and when to show your feelings. This year, don’t say it with flowers: say it with bile.

The Internet People video is wonderful. Wonderful and incredibly scary. I love the fact that internet humor and video has come along way since the All Your Base phenom of 2001, however it’s scary to see how many of the memes mentioned or lampooned in the video that I (and you) remember… Probably 90%. I think it should be renamed Internet Life, since most of us spend a great deal of time on the net. Scary stuff dudes. For those not familiar with the Internet People video, I’ve embedded it after the jump - along with links to most of the memes from the video - not that I put in the time, I lifted the list from someone else - kudos to the OP.

And here’s a full on list of most of the Internet People references…
