I’m home sick today. So I thought I’d end my sabbatical and return to LifeClever with an iPad post:
Like a lot of folks, I pre-ordered the iPad for an April 3rd launch-day delivery. Big mistake. UPS didn’t deliver until 3pm. And by then, my friends had picked up their magical iPads from the Apple Store and were making mad love to them.
But delivery had a bonus.
The iPad box is shipped inside a larger box. To keep it from moving around inside the bigger box, the smaller box is bookended by two nifty cardboard brackets.
The brackets happen to hold condoms perfectly. Just what this single man in San Francisco needed. It’s exactly what Apple intended.
Thank you, Steve and Jonathan.
Badump badump badump… Do I sense a heartbeat here on LifeClever. ;-)

Adorno: Spoken like someone who never has the time or opportunity to use condoms… Maybe if you’d make some ‘condom time’ you wouldn’t have time to troll the Internet trying to insult people.

Considering your last blog post (in August) was about how devastated you were to be out of a five year relationship (in your own words like being in a divorce), this whole “condom” post seems a little petty to me, and not very relevant to your regular blog content at all.
Taking a passive-aggressive jab at an ex-lover, maybe?
Just sayin’…seems a little inappropriate here. No hate for the gay guys, I just think stuff like this perpetuates a stereotype of shallow promiscuity in the gay community.
I like the site though.

@Kellye:
It wasn’t meant as a jab in any way. I’ve just been so serious the past year, that I just wanted to bring a bit of humor back into my life and this blog. ;-)
Also, I wouldn’t consider myself promiscuous… those condoms have been sitting around for a quite awhile! ;-)

Did you just happen to have that many condoms lying around for quite a while? Remember, they do have an expiration date!

I don’t see a connection between Condoms and Gay. But if things go right for me, I should have a pre-order of the iPad when it’s available here in Australia and perhaps get the box too to hold all my boxes of matches. That must make me a Gay smoker.

Kellye, it’s stigmatized comments like yours that keep people from being able to talk about safe sex and sexually transmitted diseases.
For the record, LifeClever is about “design, productivity, and ways to live better.” note: ‘ways to live better.’

random first time blog reader here.
i consider it bizarre and homophobic to say that posting about condoms indicates anything whatsoever about being gay, promiscuous, or having a lack of respect for a previous partner. when i have male partners, i use condoms with them in long term relationships and find it bizarre that in 2010 anyone would not. not only would i not feel offended upon reading that my male partners were using condoms w/other people, i’d feel happy about it and confident that i’d had good taste. this isn’t the 1950s… not using protection against STIs is ridiculous regardless of your sexual orientation. why would you want your past lover to be unsafe or at risk? geez.
i didn’t/wouldn’t buy an ipad (have a kindle, don’t see the point) but i have friends who did and i thought this post was both amusing and useful.

Geez. I didn’t expect to see the topic change so quickly. The funny thing is…condom holders would actually work well with them.

I’m jealous, I mean that’s a lot of condoms. I’m not sure I’ve ever even used that many.
