I wish to share with the world my recipe for the perfect winter bar shooter. Vitamin C is believed to help ward off colds and flu, so you are doing a favor for your friends when you buy them a round of Flu-Shots!

1. Pour two Emergen-C* packets into a pint glass, fill with water, and stir until dissolved.
2. Pour this mix in approximately one to two ounce servings into several short tumblers.
3. Add one to two ounces of vodka to each tumbler.
4. Serve!

There you go, an easy way to fight seasonal flu while partying with friends**.

*Emergen-C is a registered trademark of Alacer Corp, and is used in this recipe without their permission or knowledge. Huzzah for ‘Fair Use’!
**These claims are not backed by the FDA, medical studies, or urban legends. Your results may vary. Do not drive, work, think, or call your ex while taking this cold/flu preventative.

Well, so much for the Nook being a game changing eBook reader. Turns out the ability to ‘loan’ eBooks to friends is so close to useless that I have to consider it a gimmick. Apparently, you can loan a book. Once. Only once. Ever. Frak that. Give me all the rights of a paperback, or don’t bother telling me about your eBook version.

B&N Ebook Reader Lets You Loan A Book Just Once

One of the big selling points about the Nook, the new ebook reader introduced this week by Barnes & Noble, is that unlike Amazon they'll let you virtually “loan” your ebook to a friend for up to 14 days (if the publisher allows it). What they don't tell you—some smart readers over at MobileRead sussed it out—is that you can only do this one time per book. You'd better lend wisely—and your friend had better finish that book within 14 days.

I have learned a new and interesting thing about the placebo effect. If I decide in the morning to not have coffee, I can go the whole day and I’m fine. If I have deiced to have coffee, and it takes me too long to fix or buy it, then I get a headache.

Twisted, eh?
