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.
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.
I still haven’t gave up on getting a mini for a car and it doesn’t need to be the latest model - like the 2011 clubman - but I hear that one can get a mini for close to $25K these days - which is almost the same was our ford focus - so definitely worth looking into. But wait a minute - false advertising on Mini cooper’s website? because on Kijiji - it cost like $21K for a used one. So I went to Mini’s website in Canada and punched in all I wanted for my car - now the base cost is $27K and an extra of $5K for miscellaneous - which comes up to about $33K + taxes. So I have to pay about $700 a month just to get that car and just for the car. I have to pay insurance on it - and on top of it - feed the car with gas and regular maintenance. Wow! too much money to be spent on one item for the next 5 years - so for now I guess I have to settle for a cheaper car.
Sometime in June this year - Google introduced Google plus - on trial basis - as a gmail user - I was invited by another gmail account holder to try out Google plus - but being on Facebook already took up so much of my time - I asked myself if I needed another social networking app. I didn’t check it out immediately until some friends added me into their circles - so i decided - what the heck - and to take a few minutes and see what is this Google plus all about. Truth be told till today - I’m still not really making use of Google plus - although according to Google they already have like 1 billion users/signed up? But you can use Google plus on your iPhone just like Facebook and video chat too - those in the same circle. And google had been trying hard to convince people that Facebook is a thing of the past and old news. Just like Google they want to own the internet market - from advertising to everything. So some 19 hrs ago - google announced that it has free games for anyone with a Google Plus account. I’m gonna try it out today - and tell you more about it later. Are you on Google plus yet?
So I heard that the person who was responsible for the Galaxy Tab and smartphones is stepping down and moving to Citibank instead. Smart move or only move?
Our good friend - Gary just upgraded his computer and this was the video card that he had ordered ! pretty cool looking right?
The spouse said that Gary’s video card is much better than his now.
Now Gary can play his war of world craft properly. As per Gary - when your character go into the water - you can see the water ripple. It’s 10 times better than his previous video card - HD3450. Gary paid $260 for the card.

I admired bloggers who does a lot of networking and if you are someone making money online - you know you have to network. Networking is as important as having a good host - and like many of us - we read reviews - we check with our network of bloggers to see who they use and what they think of different hosting companies like for example bluehost - but there are many hosting company around - and I’m sure you know that too - if you are blogging and making money online. So who do you host with - and what is your view on your hosting company? what are the prices you pay ? are tech support good - what about downtime? stuff like that are the things you ask - when you have a network of good bloggers. So yes! go network now - and go make friends - that’s what I tell new bloggers all the time.
I am on treatment for anxiety - and although the medication given to me is for both my anxiety and panic disorder - I still see a psychiatrist on recommendation by my family doctor. I’ve always had panic attacks since I was pregnant with my daughter and as the years went by - I became better without taking any medication nor talking to anyone. But I became very dependent on my spouse and every little thing can trigger my attacks.
Last year - I had a very bad one - and I knew I had to seek help. I pride myself as being able to identify a problem and nip the problem at its bud. I read a lot about my diagnosis and learned about dual diagnosis although my family doctor didn’t tell me about it. But it sure feels that way - because I don’t only have one condition but 2 at least if not more. Some people feel shy about having anxiety attacks, depression and anxiety - but as someone who have all the above - let me assure you - there is nothing to be ashamed of. Do seek help - because i felt better after taking my medication and talking to someone about it. Good luck all!
While it is not a huge celebration back home - Easter is a time to shower the kids here with more gifts - or traditionally - the grandparents are the one who insist on buying gifts for them - for doing well in school. What is your family’s easter tradition? do your in laws buy easter gifts for kids like ours do? I don’t encourage a huge celebration for Easter - but some small and meaning easter gifts is fine with me. But to splurge and just buy toys for them - I really don’t encourage, what about you? I think Easter is a time for families to spend quality time with their family - relatives and friends - what do you think?
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.
