Projected to be released in Mid 2009. This phone is a must have if you did not go for the 3G Iphone hype. This baby is capable of Video recording, 8 megapixel camera, and 16 gigs of memory included for that cutie at the bar you met and GPS to find her house after she gives you her address for a late night nightcap.
Ok, so we’re starting a new series here on Contemporary Man. I happened to be browsing the net the other day and came across a series of videos in which this guy goes around interviewing women about what they want in a man. We’ll be posting those videos on here for your viewing pleasure.
On a personal note I’ve come to the conclusion that women have no idea what the hell they want. They’ll claim they do and will jump at the first opportunity to tell you if you ask them, though 9 times out of 10 it’s some rehashed bullshit fairytale list. “um, well, lets see…I want a guy that can walk on water, make me cum just with his smile, provide me with 10 closets so that I can store a lifetime of clothes that no longer fit, doesn’t mind turning off the TV two minuets before the end of the game just listen to me go on and on about why my drunk, snobby friends hate each other, is ok with letting Mr. Fuffels (a fat disgusting cat that farts all night) sleep with us, and is confident enough to not get jealous when my best guy friends slap me on the ass and call me babe. Ok, yeah it’s a bit much but some gals are like that. So anyway here is the first video on what women want in a man. Enjoy.
Summer is here and you can’t go wrong with grilling. I had to look around for a good Rib recipe and this should be it.
Makes about 2 cups of dry rub
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup paprika (sweet or hot)
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons ground red pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 cup salt
1/4 cup cracked black peppercorns
Make your spice rub and cover those ribs in it ASAP. The longer they sit in the spices, the better, but let them sit at least an hour. Let them sit up to 24 hours if you want. Wrap them in plastic and refrigerate them until it’s almost time to put them on the grill. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before putting to grill.
No, you will not go blind from too much porn but please exercise the use of the hand responsibly guys. What porn does do is it may eschew your view on what the perfect woman looks like, what the perfect position is, the perfect size, and how long it’s supposed to last. When those things creep into your mind, it hurts your confidence. Do not be one of those guys that ask for an evaluation after you have sex. Women love confidence, not the position of the enabler.
They have a saying, “Idle hands lead to the devil’s work.” The best way to keep your mind from venturing off into lady land with your Palmalive dish detergent is to keep your mind busy. Do chores, get outside, call long lost family members, whatever it takes to keep yourself sidetracked. Just think twice before going to the porn store to blow (no puns intended) you cash on that Super Jugs Magazine.
You may need a stylish carrying option for your laptop that is an alternative to the college backpack – this may be worth looking into. This bag is capable of holding up to a 17″ laptop and several slots for magazines, DVDs, and moleskins. It uses a one strap across the body. Good for that internship or trendy coffee shop around the corner.

Bitch session time!!! If you’re going to call yourself Burger King…indeed suggesting that you are in fact the King of Burgers, why the fuck are you not going to sell me a hamburger in the morning if that’s what I want? I don’t want your gross ass egg muffin shits. I want a hamburger…from the burger king. If you can afford to have your silly ass mascot making commercials where he’s tackling football players or scaring the piss out of innocent folks on a stroll, you can sure as hell afford to have a hot tasty hamburger waiting for me when I go to the burger king…to buy a burger.
After a long night of clubbing and partying I just want to be able to go to a place and order something that their sign suggests they probably sell. In Burger King’s case…that would be hamburgers! When I get a craving in the middle of the night for a taco (not the pink kind) and I go to Del Taco, guess what I get….that’s right, tacos!!! It would be a bit strange for me to order tacos from them only to be told “I’m sorry sir, we’re only serving pancakes right now.” What the fuck am I going to do with a pancake!? If anything you’re lucky if I don’t fucking slap you with it.
All I’m saying is, how hard is it to put a burger together in the morning? It’s not as if the hamburger God, suddenly gives your employees the cognitive genius to all of a sudden remember how to make a fucking burger after 9 am. Make burgers available in the morning or I’m taking my business to a place that sells food that actually makes sense.
It’s a travesty if you don’t own these items but just as bad if you went to the bargain bin at Sears. Some items you just can’t skimp on. Always pay just a bit more because the women will notice.
1) Watch – nothing is worse than pulling out your phone to tell someone what time it is.
2) Cologne- graduate your smell from aftershaves and axe sprays. Preferably one for the night out, one for work, and one the weekend. And always spray conservatively.
3) Sunglasses- be smart, spend just a bit more for reliable, name-brand and not knock-offs.
4) Umbrella- one with a quality that will not twist in the wind and you can share with a damsel in distress.
5) Wallet or money clip- the wallet should be a high quality leather. Replace once it becomes worn. Refrain from over-filling with membership, grocery cards, and Panda Express receipts. Money clip in a higher quality metal, rubberbands are a no-no.
You know, I’ve always been a PC/Windows kinda guy. I loved being able to get into the guts of the operating system and hardware to try to figure things out. On top of that, being a gamer, PC was the only computer to have to really play the latest and greatest. The thing I might have hated the most about Mac was the damn one button mouse…I really hated that damn thing. Don’t even get me started on the hockey puck mouse either!
So I’ve never been a Mac fan. Seven and a half years of working in the game industry has only served to strengthen my loyalty to the PC and the Windows operating system. For a long time though, I’ve had people telling me about how much they love their Mac.
So a few days ago a game designer buddy of mine and I were talking about how shows like Star Trek tend to drive people’s imagination about how we pursue technologies. We got to talking about all the different technologies on the show and their real world equivalents being developed today. I was surprised when he mentioned Macs and how closely they resemble the functionality of the computers on the show.
This got me thinking, and now I have to agree. The thing that made the computers on the show seem so amazing and futuristic wasn’t their complexity, it was the simplicity with which they could be used. You never saw Worf or Spock installing drivers, dealing with a blue screen of death, or have the computer tell them that it couldn’t raise shields cause it needs to install a critical update.
Their computers were stable, always ready to use, and demonstrated the same user friendliness that Macs do today. So while I can’t say I’m a convert, I can say that I got a new found respect for what Mac is doing. Besides, all prejudices aside, Apple is one hell of a technology development company. The iPhone, itunes, iPod, and various computer platforms suggests Steve Jobs has an idea of what he’s doing. Who knows, maybe that new tablet from Mac will be the first one for me.
The picture is just a mock-up of the rumor that Apple will be releasing a Macbook tablet. I don’t believe that it is
much of a stretch considering that the iPhone is just a mini osx. To transfer the technology to a tablet would be a fairly easy job. The rumors say that it should be arriving in October but that’s not Job’s style. He likes attention so I think that there will be an announcement at Macworld in January.
This would be great for artists and even muscians. Those that want a tablet now should take a look at Axiotron and their Modbook.
