Cordless Charger For iPhone

I was reading up on some diet pill reviews when i saw someone on the local yardsale looking for a iphone charger - and thought of this that i had seen on Thinkgeek.com a few months ago. I haven’t had a cellphone for a long time now but the best friend had one for a long time now - so she was all into getting all sorts of gadget for it.   As you can see here this wall charger not only charges your iphone but it holds the iphone as well on the wall for you - so you don’t need to have it lying all around and worry someone may knock it off a desk or a chair.  I hear it charges the iPod too - and it only cost $29.99 - pretty cheap - i’ll have to say.

This is how it looks while charging - pretty neat eh - no messy wires or cables - i like it.

Geeky Kids

The kid’s birthday is round the corner - so we need to be getting some party favors but what to get can you get for a bunch of geeky kids around 7 yrs old?   boys included of course.  So while i was shopping for cheap health insurance , another mom recommended a website for me to get these star wars pens. These pens are for kids 6 and up and they are made with LEGO parts and can be mixed and matched to look different everytime you use them.  The ink catridge is also replaceable - so yes a wee bit expensive - but definitely something for keeps.

Gundam

So i was going thru’ some life insurance quote with my best friend and she had brought along their kid - so we were happily chatting about other things - and i was commenting on the transformer figurine that he had brought back from Japan - in which he retorted vehemently that it wasn’t a Transformer - it was a Gundam.  Okkkkk.. I went - haha!!  and explained to him that this old fart isn’t quite up to date.

So this 4 yrs old boy told me - that the Gundam is way cooler than the Transformer and went on a history about it.  You see they just got back from Japan - living there i mean - and this kid had grown up with the Gundam. And there is a Gundam statue measuring 60 ft tall and weighing like 35 tons right in the middle of Odaiba - Tokyo.  I hear that most of the male population in Japan is just crazy over it.  You find the Gundam toy just about anywhere in Japan i heard.   So the next time you head out to Japan - look out for it.

Notebook Cooler

As you all know we own a computer store, so when at first a customer asked me about a year ago for notebook cooler - i had told him that we didn’t have any nor had i heard of any.  He definitely looked like he had  joint pain when i said that - i mean for sure he must have had done his research and the spouse corrected me immediately.   Now that I am using the notebook permanently - i too know that i need a notebook cooler now.   As the notebook gets older and even after blowing dust out - it still doesn’t want to cool down - then you know you need one.  A notebook cooler cost like $35 - and this is a Thermaltake brand with a 23cm fan in it.  It is supposed to be quiet - and improves the overall heat dissipation.   It is very light weight.. and supports from 10 - 17″ notebook.   So if your notebook is overheating - get a notebook cooler quickly before it fries anything up.

Messy Car

Anyone has messy car? with wires of the ipod or even the cellphone charger in the car or whatever nots that is hanging in your car and here you are worried sick that one day - it will all be tangled up and caused the man to have an accident because of all these messy wires? yes !  that would be me of course!  paranoid some may say - but i say precaution is better than cure.  So here i was doing my colon cleansing reviews and came across this picture of a cable buddy and i just had to get it.

This soft, pliable spool of sorts is available in 3 sizes and should work perfectly for everything from headphones to extra-long power cords. Each size holds a different thickness of cable and are reasonably priced between $3.70 and $5. The Bobino has won multiple awards for it’s design and efficiency of use and it’s quite easy to see why!

Dell’s Warranty

If you are by any chance getting a Dell - make sure that it is new - now if you are getting it previously owned or even if you are buying it from a relative - please note that it’s not as easy as buying  big and tall clothing .  Why? because Dell does not warranty your computer - even though they sold an extended warranty to the original owner.  You see about a year ago, we bought one previously owned one - when the keyboard started to go bonkers - we called Dell up because of the extended warranty - but guess what ?  Dell make us go for a merry-go-round and kept telling us that the original owner is not what we claimed to be.  They refused to help us - politely.  I’m not impressed with Dell at all - i did get my keyboard and power supply fixed by with another computer store - but i will never buy a Dell even if they were new.  So watch out if you are buying a Dell.

Zombie Blood

The spouse laughed when he saw me looking at this to order online in preparation for this year’s Halloween.  I told him it’s not really that far away because we are already almost half a year over now. It would be funny to have and dress up as zombie and have this hanging around our neck - afterall, it’s only $4.99 and i see no harm in it.

Zombie Blood Caffeinated Energy Potion is loaded with iron, protein, electrolytes, and other fancy things to have the same nutrients and consistency of real blood. Throw in some lime flavoring and greenness, and you have the recipe for realistic Zombie Blood! Of course, we did make sure this blood is filtered so you won’t be getting any mutagens or viruses or anything else that might turn you into the walking dead. All you’ll get is energy, great taste, and stares from passers by. Because that’s the best part of enjoying a Zombie Blood Caffeinated Energy Potion - the gawking from onlookers. Time to guzzle some Zombie Juice!

Desk Top Air Purifier

I’m looking out for these - desktop air purifier by Vion, supposedly to come out for sale in June - but i can’t find anything about it online.  The Japanese site of King Jim doesn’t really say much more about it - except that it can be used in your bedroom, washroom, smoking room and even your pet room.   Does it really work - i’ll have to see more reviews about it first.
