Cut Down on Clutter

November 30th, 2010 · No Comments

If you’re anything like me, you have a massive amount of paper clutter. At times, I feel like I’m in some Stephen King movie and the paper will take over my brain or smother me or something. It’s time to take back your life — or at least your desk. One way to keep all [...]

Dance Machine

November 28th, 2010 · No Comments

Forget singing in the shower. It’s time that you took to the main stage. That’s right; I’m talking about your living room.
Sony PlayStation has launched a new game that will make you sing “American Idol”-style. It’s called SingStar Dance. To play, you will need the PlayStation 3, the PlayStation Move, and the PlayStation Eye. All [...]

Despicable Me is Super Lovable

November 26th, 2010 · No Comments

One of my favorite movies from this summer was “Despicable Me.” I’m guessing that I’m not alone, since the film turned out to be one of the biggest 3D movies of the year. It’s hard to believe that it wasn’t a Pixar movie, too, because this one was actually entertaining for kids of all ages.
Universal [...]

My Favorite Thing Too, Oprah

November 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

If you were anywhere in the vicinity of a TV last week, you probably heard the screeches of women getting freebies. Yes, it was Oprah’s “Favorite Things,” people. I am incredibly jealous that I wasn’t part of that crowd!
Of course, we could all use a 7-day cruise and glittery UGG boots. However, I am insanely [...]

High-Def, Low Price

November 22nd, 2010 · No Comments

Why fight holiday crowds when good deals can be had online? There’s nothing like hunting for bargains in your bunny slippers. You are probably reading about all of these fabulous tech deals coming, but I prefer to shop early. One great deal that you can snag right now is Sony’s BDP-S370 Blu-ray player. Remember when [...]

Rock the House

November 20th, 2010 · No Comments

Ah — the good, old home stereo. It may rock the room, but can it actually rock the house? That would be a neat trick. Instead, most stereos are limited to one room. Wiring up your house for whole-house music would be awesome, but also awesomely expensive.
However, Sonos has a much easier, semi-affordable solution in [...]

These Leaves Should NOT Be Falling

November 17th, 2010 · No Comments

Around this time of year, it’s nice to check out the pretty foliage. However, this is one leaf that you’d probably never want to see falling. Maybe that’s because it’s not really a leaf, but a protective skin for your iPod, laptop, or other portable.
This product is one of the many patterns made by GelaSkins. [...]

Stay Cool, Fool!

November 15th, 2010 · No Comments

Believe it or not, I have yet to turn on the heat in my home this season. This is quite a feat for a New Englander! However, I am doing my best to use blankets, sweatpants, and a wood stove to my advantage.
One way that I don’t need to get extra warmth is through my [...]

It’s On Like Donkey Kong – TM!

November 11th, 2010 · No Comments

Nintendo is gearing up for the November 21 release of “Donkey Kong Country Returns” for the Nintendo Wii. To catch a bit of momentum, the company has filed a request with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the catchphrase, “It’s on like Donkey Kong.” No, really!
Of course, the phrase is old-school, but it [...]

Time is Money

November 9th, 2010 · No Comments

The holidays are coming up. That means plenty of new, shiny gadgets — hopefully! However, nothing spoils a holiday like zapped electronics equipment, especially if it’s something that still smells like wrapping paper.
Without a doubt, I love the gifts that are big and flashy. However, I also love gifts that allow me to keep those [...]
