Adventure With A Techy Chick

So the spouse bought a new 4 wheeler for the spring – but because the weather had been so spring like even though it’s still winter here – we had been fooling around on the 4 wheeler.  We need some Alpinestars Boots for extra protection because him and the brother-in-law loved to rough it out in the woods and going into puddles and mud is their thing.  So the next time they want me sitting behind them – I need proper protection boots.

For those who’ve never been on a 4 wheeler – you really should try it – it’s one of the few fun things I do with the spouse and it definitely gives me a rush of adrenalin – good for the health.  It’s not dangerous or anything but wearing the proper footwear is very important – since we are out in the woods and on outdoor trails.

Bringing Back Some Childhood Fun

When we were kids – we didn’t have much to play with – because we were quite poor – but we always had a yo yo to bring to school and learned all sorts of tricks and had hours of fun with it.  I remember having made good friends with my yo-yo and my yo-yo kept me company and the more tricks I learned to do with my yo-yo – the more impressive I got with my little friends and it also taught me focus and how practice makes perfect.

This year, my daughter who is 8 years old had been asking for a better yo-yo to play with – and learn tricks on.  So I’m going to get one for her and bring some good old childhood memories – and create some good memories with my kid.

Saving Money With Techy Chick

We’ve always known that LED lights are a lot cheaper in the long run and this year – we’ve changed every light at the store to LED lights.  Even the flashing lights on the display windows had been changed to LED bulbs – so we are not worried that the flashing lights are turned on 24hrs a day.  Now that LED lights and bulbs has come down so much in prices – it would only be smart to change everything over to LED lights not only for money reasons but for safety ones.  Don’t know where to get LED lights/bulbs?  try  this place led from ledsupply.com for they have lots to choose from. Saving more and safety first – now that is a really smart move we’ve made and I’m not regretting it thus far.  We will be changing to LED at home too – I feel that it’s a must.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
