Slog - Comments on The Week in Geek http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/the_week_in_geek_6 As we all know, there's really only one weeky-in-geeky story this week, and that of course is the introduction of this revolutionary, mind-bending product. Okay, very funny. Really, it's the iPhone. For sale in Seattle in less than 5 hours, blah blah blah blah. I freely admit that I want one pretty badly, but still--blah blah blah blah. Seriously though, there hasn't been any other technology news this week. Those cereal straws are fucked up, though, right? Note: To celebrate the release of the iPhone, this installment of The Week in Geek has been totally phoned in. Ha! Eat it....

I've only tried the Fruit Loops variety though ...

I've had the glasses straw for awhile now and am not to just go ahead and trade it in just cause there's a new kid on the block.

I saw these yesterday at the Quality Food Center. Fruit role centers doesn't sound so good. I wonder what the overall milk/cereal ratio winds up to be compared to cereal in a bowl.

And nothing else did.

Froot Loops, Cocoa Puffs, Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries -- I'd eat a whole box of the shit every morning. The last time I tried some Crunchberries the roof of my mouth was sore for four days.

You know, I'm an iPhone skeptic, but I agree it's pretty cool. But you know what's going to kill it? AT&T Wireless. It's like buying the most exciting new Mac ever, and then finding out it only works with Prodigy.
