Modern Family Quotes from "Egg Drop"

Luke and Manny have a huge school project to design the best capsule that would protect an egg in a two-story drop, but when Claire and Jay catch wind of it, their own competitive drives kick in… and eventually take over. Meanwhile, Phil solicits the help of Haley and Gloria to sit as plants in the audience during a huge real estate presentation he has put together, and Mitch and Cam meet with prospective birth mothers.

Here are the quotes:

Phil: I want people to leave excited.

Haley: Oh, I think people will be excited to leave.

Alex: That design is my intellectual property.

Luke: What if I'm the container?

Manny: Aren't we all just fragile eggs?

Manny: There was life in those eyes, it was haunting.

Mitchell: Claire is the son my dad never had.

Jay: She's knee-deep in Luke's egg drop project.

Mitchell: We're meeting with perspective birth mothers.

Mitchell: You didn't need help carrying six scones.

Cam: You and me can't make a baby.

Phil: I need you to do a sound check for me.

Mitchell: We promised we would show her son all 52 states.

Cam: We're saving from a life searching for East Dakota.

Jay: I had to get in Claire's head.  

Mitchell: We're a little rusty.

Cam: I really am a clown.

Mitchell and Cam:  Don't go breaking my heart!

Gloria: That was not here!

Phil: A salesman's salesman!  A realtor's realtor!

Gloria: They are not stopping because I'm Latina.

Haley: Or that wasn't a cab.

Phil: I guess nobody needs a mouse pad.

Claire: I made the eggs that made you.

Cam: I wouldn't be a celbration without cider.

Cam: I can sing.

Gloria: All you do is put me on a pedestal.

Jay: We're going up another level.

Alex: They had as much to do with this project as the Manhattan Project.

Jay: You came out of the womb like that.

Alex: You're all just playing for second.

Haley: My feet look fat from this angle.

The "CES Shore"

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, the latest gadgets find they are actually competing for the spotlight with celebrities pitching their new tech endeavors. Among the stars promoting products, both Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio announced they are partnering with audio companies to design their own headphones.

Star of CES: Lenovo YOGA

Is the Lenovo YOGA a laptop or a tablet?

It's neither, but it's also both.  Confused?  Turns out it's an ultrabook and a tablet all in one.

The 13.3 inch notebook from Lenovo has specs similar to other Ultrabooks; fast Intel dual core processors, up to 8 Gigabytes of RAM, a 256GB solid state drive for quick booting and wake-up.  It also promises of 8 hours of battery life, we'll see. It's also very light.

Using the 360-degree hinge, the screen will fold completely under the keyboard. Turn it upside down and you have a spacious tablet computer with a large 1600 x 900 multitouch screen. Turn it around again and it becomes a multimedia player.

It's currently running Windows 7, but the YOGA needs Windows 8 to make the switch to a tablet.

Expect the price to be over $1000 when it hits stores in 2012.  I wouldn't expect to see it until Windows 8 is released.

Courtney Force Ready for NHRA Pro Funny Car Debut in February

Drag racing is about to get a shot in the arm when a bright young star makes her pro debut in a little over a month.

Courtney Force, the 23-year-old daughter of 15-time NHRA champion John Force, will make her Professional driving debut Feb. 9-12 at the 52nd annual O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Winternationals presented by Super Start Batteries at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona in a Ford Mustang Funny Car sponsored by Traxxas, the world leader in ready-to-run radio-controlled vehicles.

Courtney, who for the last four seasons learned how to deal with all of the off-track aspects of professional racing and has proven herself a skilled interviewee, a reality TV star, a spokesperson for Ford Motor Company’s Driving Skills for Life program, a national marketing contest winner, and a fan favorite, finally will get a chance to show what she can do on the track.

“For Traxxas, Courtney represents more than just a female driver on the track. The family that she comes from has been racing, and she’s been a part of racing all of her life. She’s not just another girl at the racetrack; she’s a girl that has real DNA and John Force DNA embedded in her, and it shows,” said Mike Jenkins, Traxxas president. “Take a couple of minutes and talk with Courtney; you’ll see the competitiveness that comes out in that girl. She’s going to represent our company and our brand. She’s been a top pick for us for a very long time -- we’re proud to have her on.”

Courtney had success in the NHRA Top Alcohol Dragster class, including winning a national event.  Courtney spent last season testing in a Ford Funny Car after selected NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series tour events.

Her crew chiefs will be Ron Douglas and Scott Wible.
