Phone Cases

Like all new cellphone owners - we always loved to dress up our cellphones - some loved to bling them - but I just buy phone cases for them.  So I went out and paid like $30 for my Blackberry phone case - for my new blackberry torch only to find out that it doesn’t fit my cellphone.   My cellphone is a Blackberry Torch 9800 smartphone - while this case is for a 8500 series !  darn!  oh well - at least I can still use my cellphone without the case - but I’m hurting down some phone case again and there are a few places I can get them at the local mall.  I’m also thinking of getting some bling for my new blackberry - but I figured if i do it - it would be impossible to upgrade to another model but I do love some bling.

So even though I’m never a girly girl - I might shock everyone and get some bling bling.

BuckyBalls Pink

Pink is definitely pretty - but you must be wondering what do they do right?  I wondered too - I walked around Staples the other day and saw these on sale.  So I looked at it - and it didn’t really tell me a lot.  These buckyballs has 216 neo-magnet balls and are made with nickel finish.  Well, I found a video on youtube on it - and it looked pretty fun - basically - you just turned them into things and shapes you want. Apparently, these are made to relieve stress but not for kids to play with - guess they are afraid that kids may swallow them - and I won’t rule that out - because I pushed an eraser into my nose when I was a kid.  What was I thinking right?  Pretty amusing - and it would cost you like $30 for them - after shipping.

“U” Lamp Multicolor

A very interesting lamp when lighted up but a pretty simple one too - using multi-color rubber band - the glass is made out of blown glass and definitely a great piece of decor and lamp for a corner table - but to spend $120 for a lamp - well, if i had the extra money - no problem at all.   But when it isn’t lighted up - it sure doesn’t look as beautiful nor as interesting.

Alternative Bulbs

Love these bulbs - from Plumen - it’s supposed to be eco friendly and uses 80% less energy - but who cares about that - when the bulbs are so funky right?  They are not cheap about $98 for 4 bulbs but it’s supposed to burn 8 yrs - so if you calculate it that way - it’s not that expensive.  Now there is no way to change a new set of bulbs I am assuming.  Order them online from Plumen’s website.

Four bulbs included. Pendant lamp cords/fixtures not included. Plumen gives off 11 watts, equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb; 120V. It will burn for approximately 80,000 hours, or eight years. Instructions on recycling options are included.

Techy Chick Buys ATV Quad

I saw this on our local yardsale - for $600 and decided that I should take a look at it - since the spouse had always wanted one.  All it needed was some new bearings in the rear part - and we are good to go.  The spouse also know of some polaris sportsman parts he could get if needed - so we are all set to get the ATV - if the price was right.  I was hoping to get it for $400 - since it didn’t have any papers with it.   A bit risky I know if it doesn’t have its papers - but I think we know the seller well enough to trust him.  So wish us luck - while we go check out the ATV Quad and test it out - and hopefully - we can go even lower than $400.   Summer is not ending anytime soon - and I’m sure we can make use of this bad ass - for hurling wood - in the fall an winter - great machine for plowing snow too - if you have the right parts - the uses of this ATV are countless.

Techy Chick Knows Her Cables

People come into the store every other day and asked if I know anything about cables - haha!  funny they think I don’t know anything about cables - 11 years working with computers and electronics - I better know something about cables right?   Well, I know all about the HDMI cables and the vga to hdmi cables and monitor cables or your DVI to VGA cables, so yes - this techy chick does know something about cables - not all - but most.  So if you need a cable - don’t assume that the woman don’t know about them - because more likely than not - these days - every woman would know all about the cables you need.

Mario DS Stylus

For those who love Mario - there is a Mario DS Stylus that is on sale right now at Walmart - I just saw it recently.  Less than $10 - it’s pretty cute - but a lot bigger than the regular stylus as you can see there and it has a wrist strip on it - so you won’t lose it.  Of course you can buy it elsewhere - but if you have a walmart - they do carry them.
