I just bought a bluetooth headset for $5 -- a Samsung WEP200.

So far, it's mostly been useful for cooking and car errands when I'm prone to get a phone call, but want my hands free and don't want to fumble with the phone. In other words, I'm the dude you want to punch. <duck>

I used a little electrical tape to hide the LED, which is obnoxious and pointless AFAICT. Now it just looks like a large hearing aid, and not some faggoty piece of cyborg geek ear jewelry.

I'll want to punch you a little less if it's not one of the headsets that has different flashing lights and the must-have platinum casing...

People seem edgy today.

I'm in a great mood.

I agree. It's Friday bitches. Stop being babies.
