Hump Day Hook-Ups

I'm still jet-lagged from the trip but I couldn't pull myself away from my beloved Google Reader, which had thousands of feeds waiting for my return. Dealzmodo Ahoy: HDTVs Will Get Stupid Cheap Next Month, Gizmodo. My jaw dropped as I read this, because we had just purchased a large screen LCD television last month. $F@(*SKJF!!!! Why New York Pizza is so Tough to Replicate, Neatorama. I've had "New York style" pizzas all over the country, and I don't think I'm being biased in believing that NY truly has the best pizza (even better than Chicago).

Hump Day Hook-Ups

I'm currently sitting at Athens Airport waiting for my flight to Mykonos so I have some extra time. You didn't think I'd neglect a weekly feature just because I'm on my honeymoon, did you? ;-) Flashback: What the World Was Like When the First iPod Was Released, Wired Gadget Lab. I have a 5-year old 3rd generation iPod that still hasn't crapped out on me. In fact, the only thing wrong with it is that the battery dies after about 15 minutes...
