Tech: Protip: Don’t bring your iPhone prototype to the bar, idiot

  • This phone could be the next iPhone. It was reportedly found on the floor of a bar in San Jose, which is effin’ hilarious. If it turns out to be true, it seems like a little bit of a step back from prior designs. Somebody’s getting fired today. source
  • UPDATE: MacRumors is reporting that this is a Japanese counterfeit phone. It sure looks like one.

Culture: Kurt Vonnegut’s unpublished short stories see the light of day

The excerpt from “Birdie” features the protagonist in the midst of a colorful bar conversation – you know, the kind of colorful bar conversation we’re often involved in. Vonnegut died in 2007, and “Birdie” is his second posthumous work. • source

  • A bar in Little Rock, Ark. will host services at a local bar on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Beer might be part of the menu, but they need to check out their liquor license. (Someone say BYOB?) source
  • It’s Easter this Sunday. So all you Christians who go to church once a year, why not fight the urge to not go and perhaps get a little tipsy at the same time? Jesus died for your sins; toast him! source
