Pink Galaxy S2 From Samsung

While the Koreans already have their Pink Galaxy S2 by Samsung last year in November 2011 - we can expect this in February just in time for Valentine’s day.  So for those who don’t know what to get for their girlfriend this Valentine - this will score you brownie points big time. At 499.99 pounds in UK - so I guess for us in North America we will still have to wait quite a bit?

Geeky People Loves Unique Things

If there is anyone who loved funny t shirts it has got to be all the geeky friends that I know and work along with everyday.  They really enjoy a good laugh and have a huge sense of humor and you’ve got to love some of the funny and awesome quotes on the funny t-shirts.  Most of the time when I do buy funny t-shirts they are not for myself - they are usually for my friends and one of the above - I know that I can definitely give to a lot of my friends who dates the most horrid people but instead of giving it to them in their faces - I just give them a funny t-shirt and hope they get the hint.   I also loved to make custom t-shirts for some of my friends too - and I get all these ideas online and order them online.  But for those out there who wants to give their friends some funny or unique t-shirts - you should because it’s way too funny and they remember you everytime they wear the t-shirt.

The WWW Turning Couples Into Strangers

When I saw this cartoon - I said to myself - OMG!  this is the spouse and I.  Well, truth be told not so much I - but the spouse.  Can you imagine watching tv with him and he turns to his netbook and does his own things or he would fall asleep?  Yes!  very frustrating - sometimes I wished I could smack him on his face and shock him up.  So has technology turned couples into strangers?  I did mentioned many a times to the spouse that I communicate better with him on MSN messenger than personally because he always sounds so darn grouchy - I rather not talk to him at times.

I can’t say it’s a bad thing the internet because I met my spouse online - else we won’t have met - but the almost hanging on to the internet for 20 hrs a day - just is not good practice for anyone - even the ones who doesn’t have a family, spouse and a kid.  But I don’t want to be his mother and tell him what he can do and what he cannot do - so what do I do ?  yes! i’ve tried arguing with him - I’ve tried mocking  him - I’ve tried ignoring him - now what else can I try?  I mean it works and he stops for a while and then 2 days later - he goes back to doing what he does best - either on the internet or the tv playing games.

It’s not the WWW - it’s not the games or the console - the problem lies on the person - the spouse is addicted to these things.  Sure a big part of it has to do with work - but really - sleeping only a few hours a day and eating junk all day ?  mannnn!! this guy is going to have not only a health issue - he will have some social issues when he is old.  I just hope he has a lot of insurance and a good health plan.

Valentine’s Gift For A Geeky Girlfriend

This techy chick was asked by another geeky friend what he should get his girlfriend for Valentine’s Day  - and since his girlfriend is very much like himself and would already buy all the games and any kind of accessories for the computer already - he is lost.   I told him that even though his girlfriend might be as geeky as him and not like flowers -  no one can resist a box of chocolate roses - my best  Girlfriend Gifts suggestion.   So for those whose girlfriend is not into the girly stuff - try this chocolate roses because everyone loves chocolate - and chocolate plus roses - perfect gift.

Digital Price Tagging

Digital pricing tags may not be popular here yet but in Singapore and other parts of the world - like South Africa - already started digital price tags.  Japan had digital price tags since 2006 - and some parts of USA has digital price tags.  So what are the pros and cons of digital price tagging?

I say it makes everything easier for the night shift fellas -  who needs to take stock and re - price everything if they needed to go on sale or not on sale.  The cons - would be - the hacking part into the store  - I haven’t heard of any yet - but we’ll have to see eh.  So how much is changing everything into digital price tagging?   I figured it must be a lot - but no one had reported the cost as of yet - but small businesses like ours - I doubt you will see digital price tagging anytime soon.  Even Walmart may not go digital price tagging - since they won’t even chipped their debit and credit card machine.

I Want A Scooter

I am determined to get a scooter this spring - since I don’t want to drive.  I figured it shouldn’t be difficult to maneuver a scooter right?   And I want a swanky looking one too.

But my daughter had other ideas - because she wants to go riding with me - but she was scared just to sit behind me.  So we figured maybe if i had a scooter than had a side car - she wouldn’t be too afraid - and she wanted it pink - I think I can lived with it.

This custom made scooter is fantabulous!  I want to get something like that.

And of course, some Hello Kitty stickers like the one above - now that would be perfect but I know for sure the spouse would never ride in that - hahahah!

Pac Man Lights

For those who grew up in the Pac Man era, won’t you like to hang something like this in your yard?  I would definitely buy one if there is one for sale - so funny and brings back loads of memories.  I looked everywhere for it but can’t find one to buy - so if you know where I can get some of the above - let me know eh.  Alternatively, you can get some of these USB Pac Man lights from Brando.com.

Google Author Authority

I never pretend that I am a SEO expert because I rarely looked into things like that - I blog because I love all techie stuff and being an owner by association to the spouse’s business - being a computer store - with games and consoles and anything gadget - I have to know some techie stuff right?  But yes SEO stuff is just as important if you are a blogger and wants people to come visit you and of course you want to be noticed by advertisers too right?  be it a private one or a long term advertiser - you not only have to write a good post - you also have to make sure that your blog is highly visible on the search engine.

So you asked me what are search engines?  they are like google - yahoo or anywhere on the web where you to go - to look for something - that’s a search engine.  And when people are looking for something or anything - they always say - lets google it - or they tell you - go google it - like my ex-doctor’s secretary told me - when I had asked what do I have to take for my low blood. Yes! go google it is a famous and favorite phrase of a lot of people - so when a favorite food blogger wrote that she had spent the entire day adding google author authority to her site - I had to find out what it is.  So what is Google Author Authority?

In short and simple words for the ordinary blogger - Google Author Authority is a formula used by Lord Google know that you are a real person and not writing spam and what you write is genuine - thus Lord Google will then reward you with a higher PR.  As you all know that a good PR can bring in more money - and private advertisers but there are other factors that advertisers consider before picking your blog.  Contents is important but so is the age of your blog - the longer you have been writing on the same blog - that is where your blog credibility comes.  Not one year or two but more than 7 yrs - I lately noticed because a blog of mine which just turned 8 yrs old had been having a lot of private advertisers looking to place ads in it.

Now Google Author Authority is not only for bloggers it is also for small business with webpages as well  - that is why when I do a website for a customer - they always asked - do you do all the SEO thingie as well?  because they want to be first in the search engine when someone is looking for something they carry - so for those who have added Google Author Authority to its website - than you stand to gain because it will help your site appear in more relevant search engine - without you having to do more work.

So how do you add the Google Author Authority into your site?  Stay tuned for another post on it.
