How lazy do you gotta be to get a DUI without ever getting off your La-Z-Boy???
A 61-year-old dude named Dennis LeRoy was just sentenced to 180 days in jail after cops say he got wasted at a Minnesota bar last year and tried to drive home on his suped-up piece of living room furniture.
The La-Z-booze-mobile was equipped with a cup-holder, radio, headlight and a National Hot Rod Association sticker. It was powered by a converted lawn-mower.
Cops say on August 31,2008, LeRoy pounded around 8 or 9 beers, left the bar, mounted his chair-mobile -- which is capable of speeds up to 20 MPH -- and crashed into a "real car" on the way back to his home.
LeRoy was given field sobriety tests ... but cops say he "failed everything."
The La-Z-Boy driver can avoid jail time if he completes two years of supervised probation -- which includes completing a chemical dependency program, random testing and 30 days of electronic monitoring.

Sling Media and Palm have joined forces to replace Google Maps as the number one Palm OS application. Sure, staring at satellite images of your house on your phone is cool, but imagine watching "Heroes," "Lost," or "The Hello Kitty Adventure Hour" on your Treo -- from virtually anywhere.
Sling Media will be releasing SlingPlayer Mobile for the Palm OS, making it possible to watch television on the 3-G enabled Treo 700P smartphone. The software should be available during the first quarter of 2007. Sling Media's Slingbox gives users the ability to watch live TV or DVR stored media from anywhere, via the internet, right to their PC or Sling Media enabled device.
The next time your co-workers are talking about the Dwight Schrute's latest misadventures at work, you can link up your Treo 700P to your DVR via the Slingbox at home and relive those moments together.

Helio threw down the gaunlet this week with the introduction of the Drift. Sure, you can get a ton of work done with the Treo and Motorola Q, but you can't work all the time, and the folks at Helio know it.
Thanks to the new Drift, gone are the days of standing in front of a random bar, trying to coordinate your friends coming to meet you from different directions. Using the Buddy Beacon program built into the device, satellites will pinpoint your Helio Drift-toting friends on a Google map and display their position right on your phone.
The GPS-enabled Google map software isn't just for playing a sweet game of drunken hide and seek, it can also be used for real-time traffic reports, step-by-step directions to the location of your choice, and satellite imagery for a bird's eye view of a desired location.
The Drift is rounded out with high speed 3G network support, Bluetooth, 2.0 megapixel camera, mp3 player and mpeg support for VOD and videos you made of yourself during your last pub crawl. Combine all that with Helio's MySpace support and you have yourself the best party mobile device money can buy.
