Meeting Interesting People Online

I get to meet a lot of interesting people online – while I am gaming or when I do my online work – and in fact – I met my spouse online some 17 yrs ago.  So when someone told me that he knows about  some Psychiatric Technician Jobs online – to recommend – I don’t doubt it at all.   In this time and age – it’s so convenient to move away – for a job – you find online – after all, I’ve met people who played online games and get married.  I read a story on a mahjong community – how an Asian couple met while playing mahjong and they got together – hit it off and got married.  So yes, being online can be really interesting – but of course, you have to stay safe too – and make sure you know the other party – before giving out personal information.

Mod Foosball Table

For almost $2000 – you can find yourself this very modern looking foosball table – but I don’t think I would let the spouse or kid spend that kind of money – sorry! Made by RS Barcelona – said to give you a real feel of the football game with better control of the ball – made of lightweight steel – it looks really classy and I bet you can transport it to another friend’s place for a drinking session or while waiting for the world cup to come on tv – so if you are a die hard fan of the world cup – check this foosball table out.

RedBox Increases 20%

Red box increased their rental by 20% as of today.  So folks you are not getting $1 for 1 dvd now – sorry!  no more cheap movies for you and in a few years – they will continue to raise their prices.  And even though they reported millions in revenue – I think their overhead is just as high – and i’m sure there are people who don’t return their movies and they can’t just swipe their credit cards as easily as you think.  So I don’t know how long they will continue to rent cheap dvds – we’ll just have to see.

Princess TV For A Princess

We’ve bought a princess tv for our princess for Christmas from a local yardsale – but I don’t know if we should give it to her – for her bedroom – for she is only 8 yrs old this Christmas.   I know a lot of parents do that – have the tv in the child’s room – but we don’t want to do it because we don’t like her watching too much tv.  But the tv was too cute to pass – so I bought it anyways.  But you can be sure that she isn’t going to be in the room watching tv a lot – until she is a lot older and has friends that she can invite home.

Mighty Dwarf

The supplier told the spouse that we had to get one of this to display and show our customers – this is a mighty dwarf – that works as a speaker on any platform.   This small little thing really plays some cool music and loud.  Retails between $65 – $75 – depending on the brand – this comes in several colors.  i tried it out and was pretty please with it.  Place your SD card or hook up with your MP3 player – or iPods – as for me – I hook my laptop to it – so that I can hear my movie better.  Even though it’s a small little round box device – it weighs a little – but it’s not too bad even if you need to carry it around.  Check it out yourself.

BlackBerry Playbook

Whenever I go to the mall – I always visit the Source – because I get to check out the latest gadget and since I’m in the market for either a playbook or an iPad – I figured I should test it out at least before deciding.  Of course, there were more than just one tablet to choose from, there were several  tablets on display when I was there this week – and liked all of them – truth be told.  The Blackberry one is about $599 – so not any cheaper than the iPad – but it is certainly smaller – easier to carry.

7″  LCD screen and it was light – when i held it – lots of apps and you can get take pictures with it – but who really takes pictures with a tablet right?  but of course, there is wi-fi – but you don’t need another account to get on the net – because it can piggy back on your existing account – so that’s a plus for me.  Check out the video below and you will see what i mean – I’m not really into the iPad – truth be told – so the blackberry one may just be something I will consider.

HP TouchPad Tablet @ $99

If only I had known earlier – I would have definitely gone to get one by hook or crook – but I was late reading the news and by the time I saw it – Futureshop was already sold out – bummer!   $99 I could have gotten a few for Christmas presents or even resale them at the store.  The 16GB ones went for like $99 and the 16GB ones went for $150 only !  darn cheap if you asked me!

So why did the TouchPad go on sale – and at such low prices?  I think it is because it cannot compete against the Apple iPad and Google’s Android OS – plus it is a bit more bulky than others and the software is under-developed – so I was told.  Even though HP is committed to continue to developed and support the tablet and the WEBos – you never really know when it will be obsolete either.

Gaming Mouse By Logitech

I was looking for a gaming mouse not for myself but for the spouse – only 3 months to Christmas and this year – I am darn sure I want to start as early as possible.  A gaming mouse would be a great gift for a gamer like him  – so when i saw this gaming mouse from Logitech, I of course, need to read some review about it – to check it out.

You can pre-order this directly from Logitech – it’s called the Logitech G300 mouse – going at $39.99.  It has 9 programmable controls and 3 on board profiles- meaning the gamer using it – can do more and faster.  The way it is shaped is made for the palm and fingers to maneuver easily.  Plus witha 2500 dpi optical sensor – and some durable buttons as we know gamers can sometimes be hard driven master on the buttons.  Combined all of the above together and the good pricing – you will definitely find that you can play a lot better.

Hello Kitty Animated Mini Speaker

It’s too cute not to buy this Hello Kitty Animated Mini Speaker – I just have to own one – but don’t expect this to bring your roof down or anything near it.  When I ordered it online – it doesn’t say how many watts it is – just that it can be used instead of your headphones.  But for less than $30 – what the heck right.  Die hard fans of Hello Kitty can shop at Sanrio.com – for your favorite items.
