Chopper-Chopped Chris

Sprint vs. Cingular vs. Verizon
Picking a mobile data carrier these days is a lot like picking your nose: disgusting. I was paying Verizon up to $80 per month for unlimited data, and it wasn't a very fast connection (at that). I learned that they were offering a $50/month “all you can eat” plan to new subscribers, but when I [...]

Ten Pound Countdown
I'm checking in as Captain 153 today, with a ten pound countdown in full swing. Remember, my initial weight was 175lbs – with a goal of 145 by Gnomedex.

Airplane Safety Instructional Video
Airplane safety is no laughing matter, especially when you’re sitting next to a passenger who smells like he just got out of a tennis game and forgot to shower. Before taking your assigned seat, you should first look for all emergency exits and restrooms (noting that the closest ones may be behind you, and first [...]

Taking pictures with a camera phone is a snap. Getting your photos from a camera phone to the Web is a little more complicated. You generally need to email them to every service you want to publish to, which becomes a serious hassle and is potentially expensive depending on your cell phone data plan. At [...]

Garbage Pail Kids – New Series
Last night (this morning, rather – right before I woke up), I was dreaming that my brother Ben, Ponzi, and I were sitting and chatting it up in a grocery store aisle. I looked up at one of the shelves and saw a new series of Garbage Pail Kids. Topps had originally killed the series [...]
