Techy Chick Makes Time For Friends

Blogging is awesome to be honest - I’ve come to meet a lot of people that I wouldn’t have - if it wasn’t for blogging.  I wouldn’t know what to do intellectually if it wasn’t because of blogging and because of blogging - I’m kept aware of things around me and also I’m very much in touch with anything that is techy.  I like my blogging friends a lot and some become really good buddies who sends me food from home that I otherwise cannot get here.  And I also learned of products that I wouldn’t have if not for blogging, like EZBloomers.com custom floral arrangements .  I loved sending flowers to friends and family on special occasions and I wished they had this info some 20 yrs ago - when the spouse and I start dating long distance.  I would have sent him more gifts and flower arrangements to his mother and aunts on Christmases and Thanksgiving.  And because of blogging I think I have more friends than I did when I was in college.

Sony Bringing Back The Old

I grew up wanting a Sony Walkman and when i could afford the fat one - they had the slim ones coming out - and I wanted that too - but they were way too expensive then.  Then they came out with the midi player and I was more envious - but little did i know that 20 years later - I could now sit back and laugh at myself for wanting such a bulky and heavy looking thing.  But Sony is bringing but the old walkman style player - with its latest cool looking and light weight walkman  - designed for those who are very into sporty games or just very active liftsyle.   Said to be water resistant and has a wire free design - this MP3 player is great for those who goes to the gym.  It has a 2GB storage and one can easily transfer music with the software that comes with it.  Supports both music from the itune and window media player and the best part of it is - that its battery can last up to 11hrs of playtime and 3 mins of charging gives you 90 mins of playtime - now that’s pretty awesome right?  how much is it?  only $60 USD - not a bad price at all - I can get one too - awesome!

Easter Present For A Techy Kid

So you still haven’t bought any presents for your 7 years old for Easter?  well try the Hello Kitty MP 3 player for only $34.99.  But some people gave their review saying that it was cheap plastic - and can be easily broken and also it uses only AAA batteries - so it will get expensive - but if you are not looking for a long term music machine for a kit - this would do for now, afterall, most kids love the colorful face plate more than a plain color shuffle right?  Check out Sears.ca for this product.

With Spring Comes Rain

That’s what everyone says - and it’s true for it had been raining every other day - lucky for my kid - she has gotten her rain boots while I’m still looking to buy thru’ the  kamik rain boots catalog online.  My kid loves the spring - because she can jump into the rain puddles and splash herself silly and wet.  How I wished I was a kid still - so carefree and watching my kid playing in the rain with her friends and their rain boots and rain coats  just makes me so happy - for I was never as lucky as my kid - to have all sorts of bright color rain boots.   But it doesn’t mean that I can’t get a rain boots and play with my kids eh - that was what my spouse said - so I’m looking for a bright color rain boots - preferably in bright spring colors to match my kid’s rain boots.

Baby Loves Music

Now why didn’t they have this when my kid was a baby ??!!!??  I would have gotten it for her - for sure - for it records your voice - or even the grandparents if you so choose to - that way - if you leave your kid with your babysitter - and he or she misses you - the teddy bear MP3 Baby Bidou player can play back the message for her.   Better still for me - I can ask Grampie to sponsor - with that exact excuse muahahahha!!!  But seriously, the MP3 player is kid friendly and comes with some classic baby’s music and songs.  Plus, it won’t annoy you because you can set the volume at whatever level you choose.  So move over Fisher Price - here comes Baby Bidou - and it has a built in speaker - all for the price of $59 from Think Geek - order online lah! of course!

Please make a pink one!

Geeks & Health

One thing a geek knows is anything about the world wide web - they can just find anything they need on the net.  So if you need to fix a N64 system or tear your laptop apart to remove the screen - they would know where to look.  In fact, geeks are very concern about their health and they know all about Mesothelioma lawyer and can find you any information about them - nothing deters them when it comes to working on the web - and finding information on the net.  So if you think that geeks only knows about gadgets and techy stuff - you are wrong - they know just about anything you can find on the web.

Personal Space In The Office

I love my desk in the office/store - and because of that I’ve lots of trinkets and gadgets that I get online - but co-workers and customers alike loves to come into my personal space and look at the stuff I have on my desk.  I wished I had some no trespassing signs that I can place between the entrance of my work space and where the customer/s should stay - that way - I don’t have to be rude or upset - because I can’t tell them to stop invading on my personal space.   What do one have to do to keep unwanted guest in our work area?  pray tell.

Working For Microsoft

If there is anyone I would love to work for - it has to be Microsoft.  Did you see the Christmas party they give to their entire staff and family?  Have you seen the Microsoft camp grounds?  it’s like an entire city by itself - everything and anything you need is in there.  My girlfriend’s spouse works for them - that’s how I know.  I don’t know if they used BCBS NC as their carrier for their health plan - but I heard that they have very good coverage - not only for themselves - the employees but their entire family. Unfortunately, small stores like ours cannot afford such comprehensive health plan coverage for our employees - therefore, I always encourage the young people here to work for folks like Microsoft or even Google Inc - look at Matt Cutt!  I bet he has got good health plan coverage from Google besides the good pay.

Wireless HeadPhone For Ipod Shuffle

With this wireless headphone for my ipod shuffle, the spouse told me that there is no excuse for not going for my walks and burn belly fat that I complained about everyday. I used to say that I only have an ipod shuffle and that I dislike the conventional headphone - so when the spouse saw the above - he pointed it out to me - and for $50 - comes in pink color or white - I can get a friend who lives in Japan to get it for me.   Burn that belly fat - is a must and for just $50 - I cannot complain can I?  But I hear that there will be copycats selling generic ones soon - so I am going to wait for the copycats - sorry I’m pretty el cheapo - but for those who can’t wait - shoot me a comment and I’ll get the friend to buy it for you.

Juicy Couture For Your MP3 Speaker

I’m not a fan of Juicy Couture but I know of someone who is crazy about it - she has everything of Juicy Couture.  I don’t really know what’s the fuss about it - except that it is expensive.  But with a kid - who loves pink stuff - and shimmer stuff - I won’t be surprised if she got into it too.
