Passat Oil Sludge … a cautionary tale for anyone considering a Volkswagen

This post is for @rissxrizzles to explain why I will never by another Volkswagen. I’ve wanted to write about this for a while now.

Volkswagen’s tweet: ”We definitely support this decision! RT @rissxrizzles: I think i might get a jetta :)” finally prompted me to share my VW nightmare with Marisa and anyone else who cares to read. Maybe VW will take notice and FIX IT.

Why you buy an @Otterbox for your iPhone

Image of damage spared to iPhone 3GS thanks to an Otterbox Defender

Whatever put that dent in Dona’s Otterbox Defender’s screen protector would have certainly shattered her iPhone’s screen. As bulky as they may be the Otterbox Defender has a rugged appeal that guards our family’s iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4.

NOTE: This post was prematurely published due to either a bug or “feature” in WordPress for iPhone. I wanted to move my local draft to the server so I kept it marked as a draft and hit the publish button. It was auto-tweeted prematurely and, well … that’s why this site is always in alpha. So how do you move your draft to the server without making it public?

Happy 2011! Some Shakespeare via Big Audio Dynamite

I was reminded of this passage from King Henry VI while listening to a song by Big Audio Dynamite. I don’t know which actor they sampled but it was touching.
