Giant enemy squirrel

Verizon fails at math

Listen and learn...

Here's the background:

I have a Verizon unlimited data plan in the U.S. and recently crossed the border to Canada. Prior to crossing the border I called customer service to find out what rates I'd be paying for voice and data. The data rate I was quoted was ".002 cents per kilobyte."

I was surprised at the rate so I confirmed it with the representative I spoke to, and she confirmed it "point zero zero two cents per kilobyte." I asked her to note that in my account.

I received my bill and was charged $.002/KB - which is dollars - "point zero zero 2 dollars per kilobyte". As it is translated to cents would be .2 cents or 2 tenths of a cent - which is a 100 times greater rate than I was quoted.

My bill for my data usage in Canada was therefore much greater than I had expected - using the quote I was provided before my usage.

I have tried to resolve this issue with customer service reps on the phone, but noone seems to see the difference between ".002 cents" and ".002 dollars".

Here is the audio of my most recent call with them on the matter. I started recording when they put on the supoervisor - I was a bit ticked at that point.

Who knew what confusion "$1 = 100 cents" could cause?

I'm still currently on the hook for the $71 and change. Hopefully someone at Verizon will figure this out and make ammends.

You can listen to a short version of the audio here, It's totally hilarious

It hurts when I wii

Wii workout: when videogames hurt - This is so ridiculous...

Ryan Mercer, a customs broker in Indianapolis, lifts weights several times a week. But that hasn't helped much with the Wii. After playing the boxing game for an hour and a half, his arms, shoulders and torso were aching. "I was soaking wet with sweat, head to toe -- I had to go take a shower," he says. And the next morning? "I had trouble putting my shirt on," says the 21-year-old avid gamer.

What?! This is blatant stupidity. They say he "lifts weights several times a week", but he's obviously lying. He's really an obese walrus since he had to take a shower after playing Wii sports.

Battlefield Lazytown - Very good music

Evolution of gaming - Goes over some of the main genres; pretty neat

Google vs. Youtube vs. Revver -

The destruction of a psyche - This is so great. Watch as this Japanese man records his reactions while playing Resident Evil 2. [contains text lang.] It's hilarious how he pauses incessantly when there's a zombie around.

Whenever that music starts playing.. I get chills... Every Halo "commercial" so far has had that effect. The new Halo3 ad keeps the trend going. It's so great, I can't describe it. Watch for yourself. DL the HD version, turn off the lights, and turn up the sound.

Happy Ninja Day

Today is the one of the most important holidays of the year. What? You didn't know that December 5th was a holiday? Yes! It is! December 5th is NINJA DAY! Ninja day is a celebration of ninja culture, history, and all the good things ninjas have done for society in general.

To celebrate, grab your black sweatpants, a black long-sleeved shirt, a black sash-belt, and a ninja mask, then act like a ninja all day!

I'll have some ninja pictures up later.
Get out there and enjoy the celebration.
