Apple itself, by the way, was considered after the iPhone to be the second coolest thing on the planet followed by the internet and iPod. The iPhone beat out all comers from the like of Aston Martin, the Lamborghini Diablo, the Simpsons, Sex and the City, Lego, Television, Google Earth and even the Wonderbra!
In conclusion, what more can I say... it beat Wonderbra for heaven's sake! A very special thanks to Newslite, a cool site where things that barely qualifies as news makes the news. I love it!
And that's my 2 cents 4 this Wednesday, July 28, 2010

my dream car is in the top 10? nice! Aston Martin DB9
Thanks Daniel, but as cool as the Aston Martin is, I will take a nice $150,000 plus Mercedes SL550 any old day, along with Helene Fischer or another babe by my side! :o)
While disappointed that neither I, not the Ashley Gang are on the list, it is definitely cool that you are back to writing. Glad to see it.

If it was up to me Paul, you and the Ashley Gang would be up there at number one. Hopefully, I will be able to write one or two posts per week and later, if I can, once a day again. Thanks for your momment!
