Wednesday, August 9, 2006 5-9pm – The False Profit Happy Hour @ Il Pirata (2007 16th St @ Potrero). “Strong drinks, hot pizza, good Italian food, and an outdoor patio… Plus laptops, glitch-hop, breaks, and bass to soothe the rat race. Throw something in the tip jar and start building Equity today.” Dr. Toast, Maer, and Bertzerker. http://false-profit.com/equity

For thousands of years we have had clock radios, toaster ovens, ovens with clocks…. but why not a toaster with a radio built in? Finally, such a thing has come to pass. I only wish they had taken it to the next logical step – a toaster alarm clock radio, gently waking you with the comforting smell of fresh toast. But then, perhaps sleepily reaching for the snooze alarm and thusly putting your fumbly digits in a burning hot toaster might not be so good.
