I like to sleep snug and cool. If it’s blistering hot, like when I vacationed at Cape Town, I would stay up all night. In a puddle of sweat. This necessitates flipping on my 2.0HP GE air conditioner. It’s not very earth friendly, now is it? I get my cool at the cost of spewing CFCs into our damaged ozone layer. So ultimately, it gets hotter in the world.

So I’m glad that a developer created the Bed Fan to save electricity. Continue Reading »
Review: Get The Bed Fan To Save Electricity

Here’s proof that government does care- well at least sometimes. The UK government mandated that all lamposts be wrapped in nice cushy padding because citizens can’t seem to stop texting for the latest gossip on who’s sleeping with who. Of course that leads to a fair share of cut noggins which can be a drain on the funds of hapless insurance agents. Continue Reading »

Commodity Forex Online Trading

I’m so stressed! Goodness, I just threw my coffee at the busted LCD in the corner of my office. Good thing I got something mindless to do at this weird site that catalogues some of the zaniest things documented on the web.

Mosey over and tell me if it destresses you as well.

Call me jaded, but after relishing vibrance from Altec Lansing and Bose for my 3rd gen Nano, it’s tough to slum it up with a more economical (cheaper) alternative.

The $60 2Go i-5000 is a compact, transforming setup boasting four micro drivers, a three inch bass driver and the antiquated 2.1 system. It’s barebones, so the tech guys, threw in extra value with a remote, and USB /firewire connectivity. This unit chugs well on batteries as well as the plug in charger. With the latter, your ipod gets extra juice for its batts.

Don’t expect sonorous sound quality on this setup. A 25 sqm room is the maximum serviceable area. Beyond that, you’ll feel like someone’s banging on tin cans. Audiophiles won’t give it a second glance.

The 2GO i-5000 feels happiest in an office cubicle or on the front seat of a van on long distance travels. It’s light and bubbly only within confined spaces.

Samsung joins in on the “who’s got the coolest phone” bandwagon with the two-faced F300 and F500. And when I say two-faced, I mean it!

The F300 Ultra Music boasts a plain phone on one side and a music player on the other. Now you can leave the extra weight of that Ipod at home with this baby. You can look cool with slimmer pockets, without sacrificing your perpetual music fix.

But what if you’re a video junkie and lug a video ipod wherever you go? No sweat! The F500 Ultra video descended from the F300 and neatly transforms into a video player. Simply swivel the bottom half to rest on your desktop and whammo! You got yourself a movie player in landscape mode. With a large 2.4 inch color TFT display and DivX video codec support, you can watch Pamela Anderson’s boobs bouncing in full glory.

Who still wants an iPhone now???

Watch what you eat and buy in China. The government’s idea of consumer protection is giving “Certificates of Government Approval” to those rich enough to pay for them. I bet the inspectors never even peek under the hood of what they approve!

You see, I recently visited Guangdong and bought a can of mushrooms. After frying it, I consumed the sickly looking things only to experience severe stomach upsets right after. My guide said (seriously) that manufacturers here tend to use formalin in their food stuffs. Formalin??? Isn’t that to preserve the dead?

The shopping district looked next to Shi’a beckoned to me after the doc pumped me full of medicine so I took a stroll and bought some shirts and jeans. Hmmm… never knew that Prada was spelt “Prrada” and Louis Vuitton sold as “Luis Veeton” here. Quality matched the poor spelling: the darn things started shrinking after a good wash.

Sigh. Any horror stories from fellows visiting this consumer unfriendly land?

After all the glowing reviews, I made a purchase from this pheromone site that promises me feel-good vibes- not just for myself, but also for people around me.

I liked the product when it did arrive. I felt super! It’s literally like Prozac perfume. No matter how stressed I am, wearing this scientific cologne gives me kicks.

The bad side is it took these people almost 2 months to deliver. Now that’s unacceptable. I suggest buying from speedier, more customer-friendly sites, like lovescent.
