Techy Chick

So I  received an email from Apple today asking me to do my pre-order now - a month away.  I was quite gung ho about getting one as soon as they were on sale just like when i wanted to buy a  stone sink for my new house.  But after hearing all the pros and cons and common sense tells me i should wait for the 2nd generation ones before buying - i’m still tempted.   John Chow seems to like the iPad a lot and was planning to buy a big chunk of shares from Apple.  He is usually not wrong about some stuff - but I’m not as rich as he is - so I’m gonna wait for abit.  What about you?

I would love to go back to school and upgrade myself - inspired by a community group back home, we were chatting about building a new town - or more like revitalizing it, the topic about folks like us - even older than go back to school and upgrade ourselves.  I for one am dying to do that and an  online university would be the way for me to go.   Why ? because we own our own business and my kid is very young and to pursue an online mba fits my lifestyle and it is recognized and highly regarded by most employers.  But most importantly I can do my studies wherever I am and not be restricted to be at school in one place and at my own pace.   So yes, if i am ever going back to upgrade, it will have to be done with a reputable and accredited program with lots of help when i need.

Everyone is going vintage these days - we’ve had ppl come to our store asking for if we sell turntables and old records every couple of weeks.  So I thought I should try and look for something we could have at home - I don’t really want anything that is too old with a real needle that one use for the turntable - but i love the retro look for our new home - something that friends and family who visits can go ooos and ahhhhhs.. about it - just like those human growth hormone that i read about the other day.  So someone said to me the other day - she saw this at the Tivoli outlet - and this one sure reminded me of my brother’s first stereo set - that we were so in awe about.  The cheapest I saw at Tivoli’s website was for $150 - so we don’t have to break or rob the bank for it - haha!

I have been searching for the right magazine rack for the basement until there are dark circles under eyes - I kid you not!  The basement is the spouse’s pride and joy .. so i really wanna get something good to go with the decor.  Nice but not too geeky nor too girlish - if you know what i mean. So i saw this - and thought i should have this custom made by a local guy here.  I know the spouse love the darker wood..  but instead of slot - cubie holes.

I don’t know about other women.. but painting a room can be darn daunting.  Just thinking of mixing the paint with oil or thinner .. ahhh..! that already gives me a headache.  Of course, shopping is another matter for us women and even buying a cradlesoft mattress is easy peasy for us.

So when i saw this on Dulux home page, I was very excited… that means i don’t need to wait for the spouse to paint my room.  So if you are looking to repaint your study or even your laundry room, the Dulux Paintpod Compact is the way to go.  It’s portable and sits on top of a paint pack and the pump is battery operated.. and brings out the paint to the roller for application to your wall.  They do have a bigger size paint pod.. for a bigger room - i supposed.. and comes in many colors.  So no excuses you ladies out there.

Does it really work..??  I need one that works.. the dustbusters that I had gotten before never seems to do a good job at all.  Disappointed is the least to say.. but the waste of good money.  The Dirt Devil Kone is definitely stylish..  but does it do its job..??  I need one bad..!!

The Dirt Devil Kone has good reviews.. and at $44, it is said to be  perfect for small clean-ups. And because it’s wireless and rechargeable, you’ll never have to deal with cord fiddling ever again.

How many of us can be as obsessed of Star Wars and afford to theme up your house ..  like Cho Woong did .. but i’m obsessed with my  Skechers Shape ups so i can understand him for sure.

Collectors are a dime a dozen. Collectors like Cho Woong, who can balance their obsession with a good eye for decor, are a whole lot more of a rare breed. Cho’s collection of Star Wars borders on Sith Lord scary, with a home entertainment center that looks straight Empire chic, a display case that would give the Smithsonian a run for its money, and even a Darth Vader bathroom that somehow works as a decor theme…

A laptop left on a sofa has been blamed for causing a fire which killed a man in Vancouver.

According to the Coroners Service of British Columbia, the fire – which happened earlier in 2009 – was caused when the lithium-ion battery in the laptop overheated because of the lack of ventilation and set fire to the sofa.

The coroner – who declined to name the make of laptop – pointed to prior incidents of laptop batteries overheating.

Now that’s what i call innovative and lots of imagination here.  But for any gamer.. they would love something like that in their computer room.. or even the recreation room.  Now I wanna know how i can incorporate this into my computer room.. or even the basement.. to make it look cool . .and how to i keep things from sliding down..?  i don’t want to break my bottles of Pronexin in the meantime eh.

Found at Urban Outfitter for your laptops.. but charging an arm and a leg but the girlfriend needs one for doing her medical assisting certification so she had called to asked if there was anything i could recommend.  But even if it wasn’t expensive.. you will never catch me buying something like this.. nor use something like this.. if i can help it.  I would rather use a portable dinner tray if i had too or the ones that my kid is using.
