Sure the dictionary has a pronunciation key in it but we don’t always get it right and god forbid it’s in another language all together. We live in an age of excessive multimedia so why not listen to how the word is pronounced? Well, now we can but they need your help adding more words. It’s a great idea and I will be adding words all the time.
Since I am an American living in Ireland I end up correcting people all the time who pronounce American things wrong. You’d be surprised at how many people say the word Michigan wrong. They all say “Mitch-again”. My favorite here is a beer called Smithwick’s but they pronounce it so fast it sounds just like Smidick’s.
Add your words now and who knows, you may be leaving a audio mark in the history books.
Now that was fast. The shoe barely hit the floor and someone already made a game out of it. I love how that stats afterward you play show that America is number one country for hitting Bush with a shoe. You just have to love freedom of speech. Now the Iraq people can hit Bush with shoes all day long and never get in trouble.
When I seen the clip of George Dubya get a couple shoes thrown at him in Iraq I was thinking to myself “Who throws a shoe, honestly?”. It was as if they were reenacting the scene from Austin Powers. It looks like I was not the only person thinking the same thing. This is very funny.
I don’t normally write about mobile phones here unless they have some special quality I feel is worthy of writing about. There are so many sites dedicated to mobile phone news and I just don’t have the time or interest in each and every new phone.
The E1181 phone has caught my eye though. The phone has a mini digital camera built in that you can detach and use to take pictures. What I really like is the fact that the mini camera stays connected to the phone via a wireless connection of some kind. I can only assume it’s bluetooth because from what I can see it doesn’t actually say what kind of connection other than a wireless one that allows up to a 30 foot radius. A gadget with a gadget built in is always a good idea in my book.
I suppose the practical applications for such a product are minimal since you could easily just take photos with the phone itself quite easily. I suppose you could hide the mini camera somewhere and actually spy on people or even let someone else use the camera while you keep your phone on your person. You could also use the phone to talk to someone while you continue to take photos. Either way I think this is a pretty cool gadget and worthy of some space here at the iSpy site.
It looks as though we won’t see one of these state side or even here in Europe anytime soon since it’s only making it’s way around China at the moment.
These look like they would be a lot of fun. Basically it’s a massive human / hamster ball that allows the user to walk on water. They are produced in the UK and you must also buy a blower that fills the ball with air. I suppose you could always try and blow it up yourself but I don’t think it would work very well.
I would really like to see one of these things being used in some waves at the ocean. I bet that would be fun until the wind or a tide towed you out to sea where all the dolphins would try and play with the ball, knock you around a bit and pop the bugger and then it wouldn’t be fun anymore.
Pricing on these are as follows:
$710 USD per ball, $199 per Blower (Includes delivery)
£349 per ball, £69 per blower (Plus VAT and delivery £7.50 per item)
525 Euro per ball, 135 Euro per Blower (includes delivery)
I have a video after the jump as well if your into that sort of thing.
How can you tell if your macho enough to call yourself a MAN?
What defines us as men? (aside from the obvious biological reasons for course)
I found this interesting take on 20 things that make you a man interesting and a little funny to say the least. I have listed them all below for you to read. You can click on the more link or even visit the main link as well.
My daughter is six years old and she will be seven very soon and for some reason she wants a pair of pajamas that zip up and have feet or a onesie. We seen some at a local store but after trying them on we decided they would not fit her. Of course the tag said ages 3-4 and she’s going to be 7 so that’s to be expected. Then, by chance, I seen Jumpin Jimmer Jams at a site I read daily. It turns out they sell one piece pajamas for adults and kids. I guess we are not the only ones who are looking for these things in larger than normal sizes. These look promising and I sure hope they arrive before Christmas. I have even considered getting a pair for myself. I do love a good pair of warm jammies.
Oh yeah this is officially the creepiest thing I have seen all week and I went to Italy this week so I seen some pretty creepy people. No offense to any Italian people but when your not familiar with a country and it’s people they can all look so different to you. I must admit most of them were very beautiful people but in the heart of Milan (or any big city) your bound to see some weird one. Nothing I seen this week prepared me for what I just made at the Manscaping site developed by Schick.
If you ever wanted to know what you or anyone else you know would look like with facial hair, here is your chance. They also have a “3D” version that makes your eyes look all creepy and then they follow the mouse around the page. The process is simple and the output is interesting to say the least. You are required to register for free in order to save what you see or share it but you can have a go for yourself.
We all love stickers right? Well I know I do. Even if my kids decide to place them all over my keyboard, monitor, doors, television and more. Something about a sticker just fascinates me and I don’t know why. Perhaps I should seek therapy.
If you love stickers too you should seriously check out the website www.stickertotheman.com. Basically, you give them your address. They send you a bunch of stickers for free. You then take a photo of one sticker showing where you put said sticker and they place the photos online. Sounds like a fun project.
We’d like to get photos from as many different cities around the world as we possibly can. It is perhaps our way of vicariously getting to see places around the world. Depending on the kind of response we get, we’ll probably keep getting different/more stickers printed when we run out of a batch.
Well it’s that time of year again and the brilliant folks over at JibJab.com have done it again. This year you have a few more choices and you can add more elves to your mix. I have made one and after the jump you can see for yourself how much fun this really is. I encourage you all to go elf yourself and please share the fun with all of us. I’d really like to see yourself elf’d. It’s fun and it’s free.
This year you have a choice of dances to choose from so you could send out three different version if you have the time and energy. Who knows, I may make a couple more when I get the time.
I posted another version from last year here if you remember, if not that’s ok I have a link.
