Over the weekend, I went out and got bright fuchsia highlights in my hair, something I've wanted to do forever and finally plucked up the courage to actually do. And, I know people notice it (by people, I mean work). But maybe 2 of them have said anything. Weird, and an oddly significant testament of the professional mentality surrounding proper work attire. I'm not sure what to make of that, really.

Anyways, enough about the inner workings of office politics, of which I am the last person who should ever make commentary -- let's hit up some cool stories!

File this one under 'iPhone apps everyone should have on their cell phone': The Bad Decision Blocker erases numbers from your calling list for up to a week to prevent you from calling someone you maybe shouldn't -- like a boss or feuding boyfriend -- but returns them to your list after a week. By blocking the number, it stops you from making a bad drunk phone call to someone you're going to regret in the morning.

Yesterday, I tripped and fell into geek heaven: ThinkGeek.com is my new favorite online store. They have *everything* you could possible want in addition to things you never knew you wanted but all of a sudden need! Case in point: Ninja Star push pins -- because who doesn't want their desk to look like it was targeted for a super spy attack in the middle of the night? !!!! Stay tuned for some awesome reviews of must-haves...

Twitter is dismissing rumors that it may be bought by Google.

Kindle owners are up in arms over the price of some e-books. When shopping on Amazon.com, look out for any e-book over $9.99 -- it'll be tagged with a protest badge from the group asking for you to boycott until the price drops. It's hard to disagree with them -- why in the name of Merlin's baggy pants would you buy the ebook of a title for $14 when the paperback version costs $10?? Come on publishers, embrace the future!

Hmmm ... light week so far. I'll keep my eyes pealed for interesting stories to tell you about on Friday. In the meantime, do some awesome geek shopping at ThinkGeek.com -- at least get a few laughs! :)
