Okay, maybe the Oprah didn’t say so herself, but frequent Oprah-guest doc, Dr. Oz says, “If you have more than 200 orgasms a year, you can reduce your physiologic age by six years.”
Six years! That’s pretty significant! What’s physiologic age? Who cares?!
Okay, maybe not quite a mashup, but it’s fun using and combining web services to do stuff couldn’t do before.
The Pumpkins first album in seven years is scheduled for release on July 10. Keep an eye out for Zeitgeist.

The popular blogging platform WordPress got a update today going to version 2.2. One of the new features is a importer from Blogger that pulls in posts and comments.
I have wanted to make a change to WordPress for some time, but kept putting it off. Maybe I’ll make the jump soon…
Who knows when your landscaping crew of Me, Myself, and I need to use the bathroom while out working in the yard?
Much easier this way!
Got an email promotion from Starbucks announcing a new spin-off web site entitled Let’s Meet at Starbucks. You can invite friends to check out events at various Starbucks locations and also go sample their new orange-themed drinks.
For the upcoming summer, Starbucks has gone citrus with the Orange Creme Frappuccino (regular or light) and the Orange Mocha, hot or over ice. Sounds good. I like the combination of chocolate and orange (or raspberry). These drinks sound like the old valencia drinks which I’m not sure if Starbucks did away with.
How’s that for marketing savvy by bringing back a discontinued drink as a seasonal summer special? Brilliant!
Alas, Cheryl Burke’s run for a Dancing with the Stars champion three-peat is now over. Cheryl and Ian Ziering were eliminated in the Semi-finals of Week 9 leaving Laila Ali, Joey Fatone, and Apolo Anton Ohno.
For awhile, I thought America’s votes could save Ian and Cheryl one more week, but it wasn’t so, and now the King and Queen are gone.

Been busy and almost missed the (minor) updates to Apple’s MacBook lineup.
Faster processors, more RAM – nothing fancy, but you’re still getting good bang for the buck.
After years of service, my Nike backpack is wearing down. Cushioning in the straps are about gone, and they’re starting to dig into my shoulders. Went to look for another backpack that can fit a laptop, and I came across the Oakley Flak Pack.
Not huge but big enough. Has pockets on the top half of the backpack which really, really helps with the weight distribution. Most packs have pockets on the bottom half but after filling up the pockets, the packs are so bottom heavy.
The Apple Store carries this bag, but the Oakley Store in Ala Moana has the same bag (I think it’s exactly the same) for $20 less.
The semi-finals in Week 9 of Dancing with the Stars was sure filled with 10’s. I can’t believe Len Goodman almost gave all 10’s the entire night if it weren’t for an over-sexed Apolo and Julianne. All the dancers brought their best tonight.
Apolo Anto Ohno and Julianne Hough took on the quickstep and the cha cha. Great performances, especially their get-freaky choreography in the cha cha. Their gyrations to Push It by Salt N Pepa was too untraditional for Len who gave them his only 9 for the night. Other than that one-point deduction for raunchiness, all 10’s for Apolo and Julianne.
Ian Ziering had to bring in a life coach to get him to loosen up. I don’t think that helped, but wearing that Elvis wig did the trick! During Ian and Cheryl’s tango, I kept thinking that Ian can’t beat Apolo even with scores of 9-10-9 but then came the jive of the King. Donning a ridiculous Elvis wig, Ian had a breakthrough night dancing and with the judges garnering all 10’s.
Laila Ali and Maksim Chmerkovskiy did an interesting quickstep to Walk like an Egyptian. Talk about high school dance memories! Keeping with the theme of the night, all 10’s. Their stylish cha cha again got all 10’s.
Joey Fatone is still a big guy with a big butt, but he’s an effortless dancer. Joey and Kym Johnson’s foxtrot received all 10’s (surprise, surprise) and their snappy jive was perfect as well.
Who’s going to be eliminated in the semi-finals? This is a tough one, but I’ll go out on a limb and say Laila’s going to go.
The winner will be crowned next week!

Ack! Internet connection’s been down since Saturday. Hope to be back on-line early this week. 🙁
Can’t even steal wireless Internet around the neighborhood. 🙁
