New York Passes Same Sex Marriage Laws Today!

Today, a bill was passed today that would allow gay and lesbian couples to be legally married in the state of New York. Many citizens were excited of the news and others... not so much! New York is one of 6 states to pass a same sex marriage law in the US. New York is also the largest state to pass this law. New York also has a large gay community including bars, groups, underground nightclubs and much more. Many states are trying to pass this law but many states are rejecting this law due to religious beliefs and personal preference. What do you think of the new law?

New Tech Alert! Virgin Mobile to pick up the Motorola Triumph!

Big news to frugals and tech geeks out there! Virgin Mobile is yet again paving the way for new Android phones! Introducing the Motorola Triumph. An Android phone that looks a lot like a Droid X (the same maker of the Triumph, might I add), minus the QWERTY keyboard. And this one sure does blow the other prepaid Android devices out the water! The Triumph packs in a punch according to Motorola's website and its loaded with Facebook widgets, stock Android software (rest assured Motorola users, Motoblur is NOT going to be on this device), a 5 megapixel camera on the back AND, get this, a VGA camera on the front for Skype and self portraits, AND HDMI out! Which is A LOT for a prepaid phone. Usually prepaid carriers don't have the nice bells and whistles as contract phones and most prepaid phones, let's be honest, are a piece of crap. But on paper, the Motorola Triumph breaks the barrier of piece of crap and finally gives us money savers out there, a deal of the decade! As of now, there is no price range for this phone but I've got a good feeling judging from the price of the LG Optimus V and Samsung Intercept (2 previous Android devices on Virgin), this phone will probably be ranging from $200-$300 at launch. Now I do know that the phone will be released July 19th. Perfect timing for back to school time and those who are college bound this coming school year!

UPDATE: I just got word that the Motorola Triumph is now on preorder at Best Buy for $299.

Meet Kathy Beth Terry!

You probably don't know her now, but you definitely will in about a week or so. Meet Kathy Beth Terry, the alter ego of Katy Perry. A nerdy girl from the late 80's and early 90's who swoons over Jonathan Taylor Thomas (of Home Improvement and Lion King fame) and Hanson. And enjoys doing Sudoku puzzles, and hopping on a Skip-it (sounds like the awesomeness of the 90's to me!). So why does Katy Perry need a "alter ego"? Why to promote her new video of course! Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) is Katy's (ahem Kathy's) latest single that is hitting the radio stations and, from the looks of it, a potential summer jam (If it is, this makes it Katy's 3RD summer hit, the other 2 being "I Kissed A Girl" and "California Gurls") The video will feature the nerdy yet adorable Kathy Beth Terry along with a cameo featuring another Friday star, Rebecca Black, who plays a rich popular girl that lives next door to Kathy who is throwing a party at her house where the video takes place. Another cameo appearance is in order with Kevin McHale, best known for his role as the wheelchair bound Artie on "Glee". The video is set to premiere this Tuesday, June 14th at 12:01PM Eastern Time on funnyordie.com
