I made a purchase recently and grabbed the Star Wars and Fight Club soap!   How kool is that?  There is also a LEGO block one I have my eye on for future purchase.

Well location services are the rage at the moment but only Foursquare can claim to have a rap song as far as I know.

Think we will be hearing this in the club near you soon?

Now I cannot think of something more geeky then a wallet that is made out of comic books and with Comic Wallet that is what you get.

They have all kinds of options from Batman and Green Lantern to Iron Man and Thor.

I went with a Green Lantern one….here is a little info and some images of the one I purchased.

This is a wallet made from the cover of Green Lantern Rebirth 6. It features the cover graphic on the front of the wallet with Kyle, John and Hal on the inside.

So check out the site and you can also follow Comic Wallet on twitter.  I will of course have something to say once it arrives in the mail so be on the lookout for my thoughts.

I remember trying to get access to all those shady Adult BBS’s in the area, my first zip file came from a bbs, uploading files so I could get credits to download a game, sending private messages/chatting with other local users, having my family pick up the phone and mess up my connection, jumping on a MUDD and playing for a couple hours.  Ahh the good times and who could  forget that sound?….the sound of logging on and entering a kool new world definately a sound of my youth.

Well that is my flashback to the old days.  How about you?  Did you use any bbs systems?  Run one (I set a couple up in my day).  Let us know.  Lets bring out the stories.
