How Do You Get to Antarctica?

Looking for an extreme vacation? How about Antarctica? In addition to being one of the coldest, driest and windiest places on earth (average temp is -56º F), it’s also one of the most difficult to get to.

The first step is to reach Christchurch, New Zealand. Christchurch is one of the the closest airstrips and only a 5 hour flight to McMurdo Station in Antarctica. But just because you’ve booked a flight to Antarctica, it doesn’t actually mean your plane will actually land. Due to the extreme weather conditions, it takes several attempts before pulling off a successful landing. That means, if your pilot doesn’t feel comfortable with the weather conditions, you have to fly back to Christchurch and try again another day. 10-12 hours down the drain. They call this the “Antarctica Boomerang.”

I was watching the Today Show the other day and they are trying to send Ann Curry to Antarctica for a segment called The Ends of the Earth. She’s currently at Christchurch in queue for the “Boomerang.” The Ends of the Earth airs on the Today Show Nov. 5th and 6th, but who knows if Ann will actually make it to Antarctica in time for the broadcast. And if she does make it, Ann doesn't know when she can leave.

Ann nervously put it, “The record number of boomerangs is 7 for a single flight... we don’t know when we’re gonna get there and we’re not actually sure when we’re gonna be able to broadcast live, and we’re not sure when we’re gonna get back.”




The most practical way for the average person to see Antarctica is by taking an Antarctic icebreaker cruise around the ice-free coastal areas. Some of these icebreakers are large enough to have their own helipads and have helicopters that can transport passengers to research stations on the mainland.

But once you successfully reach Antarctica, you can hangout with 1000+ scientists and support personnel, and even do some eco sightseeing. Several cold-adapted plants and animals call the South Pole home including fur seals, penguins, whales, mosses, lichen, and many types of algae. Plus the Antarctic Treaty protects the continent's natural ecozone and prohibits military activities and mining. And believe it or not, there are also 31 volcanoes in Antarctica. But don't get too excited. Only 4 of them have erupted in the last 25 years including Mount Erebus in 2007.

Personally, I may never make it to Antarctica, but it will be interesting to watch Ann Curry try. You can track her progress online here: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/21487444

Brrrr voyage Ann!

Corzo, New King of Tequilas

While tequila used to be more Old Mexico than New, it's gotten a serious upgrade to First Class, complements of Bacardi. Since Corzo was launched in 2004, the bar's been raised on what we consider high-end tequila, and that's very, very good for anyone who craves a little kick.

Original tequila may have been known for its intense and bitter flavor, but Corzo's set on dispelling the old-fashioned vibe and instead delivers something that smacks of pure modernity. Bottles are curved and shapely, substantial and smooth, and even possibly sexy, but none of that even compares to what's inside.

Corzo's tequila just keeps getting smoother. Mexican tequila had a rep for being strong and rather harsh, but these three varieties are just right for sipping come cocktail hour. Corzo's got the traditional Silver—a favorite in Mexico—that's infused with vanilla and citrus, but if you like Silver, then Reposado is your next step up. (It's got oak and honey to give it a little extra something.) Loving the sweetness? Then Anejo is what you're looking for, complete with floral notes.

If style counts for anything, then Corzo's got more than points earned on taste alone. It looks like ultra-premium brand Patron has a serious rival, because thanks to sleek design paired with a rather feisty reputation, Corzo's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Worst iPhone Accessory

Hate fingerprints on your iPhone or iPod Touch? Enough to spend $9.90 on some finger condoms? A enterprising company in Austria is selling something called Phone Fingers that prevent smudges and fingerprints on the screens of the iPod Touch and iPhone.



Here's a video of the "Phone Fingers" in action. It has a strange ending.



One more thing, the Phone Fingers only come in black and make the user look like they have a severe case of frostbite.

Silly product idea, weird choice in color and a demo video that ends in a theft... Yep, the Phone Fingers are a gag gift... like the Pet Rock.

Apple's touchscreen technology works by sensing the electrical fields in your skin. A latex finger condom is an insulator and would prevent the iPhone and iPod Touch from detecting any input from your fingers. The Phone Fingers website even says "This is probably the funniest accessory for the iPhone available!" But if you go over to Digg.com, there's a pretty heated debate going on in the comments. A lot of people initially thought this was serious product, not a gag gift. If you have a few minutes, it makes for a pretty entertaining read.

AT&T Offers Free Wildfire WiFi

Due to the California Wildfires, AT&T has stated it will be offering free T-Mobile Hot Spot Wi-Fi services to San Diego, San Bernardino, Riverside, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Orange and Ventura counties.

About 600 locations total will participate. The offer began on October 27th and will last a several weeks.

It's a very nice gesture, especially for people who lost their homes and need to reconnect online and get their life back in order. But I'm not exactly sure why AT&T is offering T-Mobile's service for free. Weird right?


Photo Credit: Malkoff


Did another major telecom merger happen and I missed it? Or is AT&T just offering other people's products for free? Maybe I'll take a walk down 5th Avenue at lunch time and tell people that AT&T says they can get a free copy of OS X Leopard at the Apple Store.

Think it will work?

Guys know that money buys them the car, the house and the trophy wife. This genetic cleansing is how the wealthy stay beautiful.

Microsoft Deal Values Facebook At $15 Billion


According to Mediapost.com:
MICROSOFT ON WEDNESDAY SAID IT is investing $240 million for a 1.6% stake in Facebook--a deal that values the hot social network at a staggering $15 billion. Beating out Google, Microsoft also won exclusive global rights to sell third-party banner ads on Facebook.

Microsoft has had an agreement to sell ads on Facebook in the U.S. since August of last year. Expanding the deal internationally was seen as critical because 60% of Facebook's nearly 50 million registered users are abroad.

Microsoft believes that user base is on track to exceed 200 million and eventually 300 million members, said Kevin Johnson, president of Microsoft's platforms and services division, during a conference call Wednesday.

On the call, Johnson downplayed what one analyst called the "faddishness" of Facebook. "Figured with [Facebook's] monetization opportunities," said Johnson, "you could very quickly get to the valuation" of $15 billion.

Napster Mobile Coming to U.S.

AT&T is making Napster's entire music catalog (5 million songs) available for direct-to-mobile purchase in mid-November via a new service called Napster Mobile. While not compatible with the iPhone, the catalog will be accessible via AT&T's network for the price of $1.99/song or 5 tracks for $7.49.

Matchbox Twenty's new album "Exile on Mainstream" will kick off the service.


Two things strike me as odd about this deal:
  1. It's kind of weird that AT&T didn't try to integrate any music system on their phones with iTunes. They already have a pretty solid relationship with Apple. In the US, AT&T is the only approved mobile carrier for the iPhone.

  2. When it comes to music, are people really ready to leave their iPods behind and just use their phones? Maybe if you have an iPhone, otherwise, probably not. The media player built into my brand new BlackBerry Curve sucks so bad that I just bought an iPod Touch.

Green is Universal

Designer Anya Hindmarch started a wildly popular fashion craze when she designed a simple canvas bag with the words "I'm not a plastic bag". The bag quickly sold out in stores and began to sell for outrageous prices on eBay, but once it became a fad, the real message behind the item seemed to be lost on many. The bag is meant to be used as an environmentally friendly replacement for the shopping bags given out at retail and grocery stores. And I don't mean carrying it to stuff the things you've purchased in. The idea is to actually hand these canvas bags over to the bagger and have him or her use them in place of plastic.

Did you ever stop and think about how many plastic bags you're given on an average trip to the grocery store? A whole lot! But most people don't even consider the idea of bringing their own reusable canvas bags with them. It's actually not a new concept, in fact in some countries canvas is the only choice at the checkout. And you definitely don't have to buy anything expensive or designer to make this change. You can stock up on canvas totes for only 99c each at places like CheapTotes.com.

Here are a few other things to look for while at the grocery store, and the earth will love you for it:

-Buy the paper towels that are perforated down the middle. These allow you to choose the size, meaning you can use a half a sheet or a full sheet, but only if you need it.

-Do you drink water bottles? Try buying the biodegradable kind. You'llhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif know they're biodegradable because the bottles feel more flimsy, but they don't break and they serve their purpose.

-Look for compact fluorescent bulbs to replace regular light bulbs. They're easy to find because they're usually shaped like a spiral, instead of being round at the top. These babies use less energy and will even save you money on your electric bill. They look pretty cool as well!

Pretty easy, right? . You'll benefit the environment and maybe even become a trend setter at the same time!

Hatebook - An Evil Facebook Parody

Tired of Facebook? Got some bad blood you need to vent online? Then embrace your hate and say hello to Hatebook.

Hatebook is a Facebook parody site that looks and functions exactly like Facebook... except with an evil twist.

Here's a brief list of the "evil twist" to give you a better idea of how Hatebook compares to Facebook:
  • if you want to mail message someone on Hatebook, it's called "junkmail"
  • instead of a blue color scheme, Hatebook is an evil red
  • profiles (called "hate profiles") include a section called “Why I’m Better Than You!”
  • "Hate Albums" consist of photos and descriptions of things you hate
  • Are you married? Single? Hatebook doesn't care. Your status options consist of Hater, Player, Sucker, Loser, etc.
After we created a profile, we were greeted with the following message:
"Hello Sucker methodshop! Welcome to Hatebook! Your registration to the Evil Empire was successful. Feel free to pimp your hate profile."
Also, you are suppose to enter in the wrong mailing address to hide from your enemies. I just used our P.O. Box. I don't really mind if someone hates that. I don't really like it myself.



But why just parody Facebook when you can improve it? The German creators of Hatebook have not only recreated Facebook's functionality, they have also improved it. For example, they've integrated Google Maps into Hatebook (Evil Maps) so you can locate people you hate on a map.

Does everybody love to hate? Even advertisers? Time will tell. In the meantime feel free to hate MethodShop.com here: http://hatebook.org/user/methodshop

The $950 Phillips 50-inch plasma blowout

All right ballers…now you can lace your crib with nothing but plasmas on the cheap. And not from some no-name knock off brand no one’s ever heard of. You know, the ones in the shady white vans?

No, actually it’s Philips that’s blowing out refurbed, one-model-year-too-old sets for as low as $949.99 after instant rebate (and only $30 shipping!). Sure, some may balk at the idea of an old model, and one that’s been refurbished, but that size of TV for less than $1k is pretty good no matter how you slice it. And, it comes from Philips, and to say they’ve been around for a while is a major understatement. Make the jump for the set of links.

Insect Robot Spies Spotted at Political Rallies

The next time you are talking trash about American President George Bush or planning a political protest in the US, you might want to check the room for bugs... seriously.

According to an article in the Washington Post, insect like robotic drones have been spotted at political events in Washington and New York.

Bernard Crane, a Washington lawyer, saw one of the drones in person. "I'd never seen anything like it in my life... they were large for dragonflies. I thought, 'Is that mechanical, or is that alive?' "

Who made these robotic insects? Are they being used as high-tech surveillance tools? So far, no American agency in the US government admits to having made or deployed insect spies. A defiant Gary Anderson, from the Defense Department's Rapid Reaction Technology Office had this to say, "If you find something, let me know."

But even if the US government didn't make the bugs, you can bet they are at least trying. There are even rumors that the Department of Homeland Security is growing live insects with computer chips in them. In theory, the robotic insects could follow terrorists, listen in on conversations, guide missiles to targets or navigate wreckage to find earthquake survivors.

Is it even possible to have a robot fly like an insect? I've never seen any military or commercial aircraft flutter around like an insect. But Pete Valentine, a miniature airplane hobbyist, combined 2 robotic bird kits and made a dragonfly-like hybrid [watch video]. And just last month, researchers at Cornell University published a physics paper clarifying how dragonflies adjust the relative motions of their front and rear wings to save energy while hovering.

So should we all get really paranoid and starting killing every insect in sight? Even if the the government does have insect spies, you probably have a bigger chance of getting recorded on someones cellphone camera.

Ameican Music Awards - You Pick The Winners!

It might not have the same prestige as the Grammy's or same notoriety as the VMA's, but the American Music Awards have put their own stamp on the award show world. The show has come a long way since it's first airing in 1973 when Micheal Jackson and Donnie Osmond were the hosts. And this year they're taking the show to a whole new level by letting you, the viewers decide who takes home a trophy.

The nominees were announced yesterday in Beverly Hills by R&B songstress Ashanti and Disney Channel singers the Jonas Brothers. Lot's of popular musicians made the cut, but it was Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Linkin Park and Daughtry who ended up earning the most nods. But who really keeps track of who wins these things? It's all about the music, and you can expect to see Daughtry as well as Rihanna, Celine Dion and Fergie rockin' it out on the AMA stage. And there's sure to be many more hot stars added to the performers and presenters lists over the next few weeks.

Here's a quick rundown of who's nominated for what in the lead categories:

Favorite Pop or Rock Album:
Daughtry/Daughtry
Linkin Park/Minutes To Midnight
Justin Timberlake/FutureSex/LoveSounds

Favorite Fap/Hip-Hop Album:
Bones Thugs-N-Harmony/Strength & Loyalty
T.I./T.I. vs. T.I.P.
Young Jeezy/The Inspiration

Favorite Soul/Rhythm & Blues Album:
Beyonce/B'Day
R. Kelly/Double Up
Justin Timberlake/FutureSex/LoveSounds

The best part about this years show is that it will put the viewers in full control of the outcome. The AMA's have always let the people vote, but in the past they've only taken a poll of select music buyers. This time around, anyone can vote online at ama.abc.com. There is a deadline though, so don't forget to cast a vote for your favorite by November 1st.

What A Girl Wants? Just A Sugar Daddy

This was forward to Pimpwiz and its so funny/interesting/weird that we had to show you:

"What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful(spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy.I'm not from New York. I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all.

Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?

Here are my questions specifically:
- Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars,
restaurants, gyms
-What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my
feelings
-Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)?

- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east side so plain? I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story there?

- Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out?

- How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY

Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth."

The 2-20 Club - The Secret is out!

Have you only heard of the 2-20 Club?
Most likely not because you would have to have more money than most of us could ever dream of owning to even get a shot at joining. The 2-20 Club is an ultra exclusive group for the super rich, and it's been a secret society until now. Just how exclusive is it? if you want to join, you'll have to chock up £100,000 ($203,890) up front and an additional £1,000,000 ($2.04m) to renew your membership each year. And on top of that members have to nominated by an existing member, seconded by another existing member and then interviewed before being inducted.

It may sound like a lot of trouble to get, but for those who can afford it, the perks are just as luxurious as you and I could imagine them to be. Think 200 ft yatchs, two helicopters, four jets (including a Gulfstream G5), exotic cars and a Bugatti Veyron all at your beck and call. Members can use these lush travelling accomodations to vacation on private islands owned by the club. And don't think for a second they'll have any trouble getting into any club, party or award show around the world.

Even the membership card for the 2-20 Club is tailored for expensive taste. The card comes in a box that is covered with Japanese urushi lacquer. Both the card and the box are made out of aerospace grade titanium, which is usually used for F1 racing cars. And the card itself features metal from a decommissioned space rocket in the center. Hey, all that money for membership fees has to go somewhere, right?

So why all the secrecy up until now? Well it seems that one of the members was pushed out of the group after causing £650,000 ($1.32m) worth of damage to a yatch when a party got out of hand. Of course the identity of this person hasn't been revealed but hell hath no fury like a multi millionaire scorned. This evicted member planned to reveal the details of the club to the public. But the rest of the committee was one step ahead of him or her and decided to break the story on their own. Slick.

Think you want to be a member of the 2-20 Club?
The membership is capped at 20, and unsurprisingly only 11 have been accepted up until now. Hopefully you can make your first billion before the other 9 openings are snapped up!

Lara Green - Myspace Minx

PimpWiz would like to introduce you to Lara Green from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina.

Lara knew from a young age that she was destined for greatness and not one to be held back by her fears has been pursuing her dreams ever since. She recently conquered her fear of heights by sky diving and her fear of sharks by scuba diving. She moved unaccompanied to New York City where she currently lives, loves, and purses her goals. Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world.

Lara is also a very active person। She plays numerous sports, and has played basketball for ten years and she told us to tell you that she will take you to the hole every time ;-)

Her other leisure pursuits include painting which she likes to do in her underwear.

As in that wasn't enough, Lara is in the process of getting a book of poetry published entitled “What it Feels like to be Naked” portraying the most vulnerable points of life. Recently, she has taken up Bikram Yoga and Salsa dancing.

Watch out for Lara Green cause she is coming to get cha!
