We are always looking out for high tech stuff – just like the wife looking for  best diet pill all the time -  so when we saw this recommended at Apartment Therapy  – of course – the wife also had to take a look at it.  She is like the kind who wants to look cool without being too technical – but you know where I’m coming from right. And at the price of $24.99 – you can really go wrong at Quirky.   As I’ve said before it’s cordless – so it’s safe even in a baby’s room – and it wakes you up by lighting up the LED light in it and sound.  And what’s good about cordless alarm clock?  when the kid needs to get ready for school, she can bring it in – and time herself – and you don’t need to go shouting at her first thing in the morning and hurt her feelings – like the wife said – i’m so getting it!

Designed not only for the savvy you but also as an outdoor décor don’t you think? This Joule work stand for the iPad is not only stable but has a solid base but made so simple with clean and elegant design. Easier to use and it sure makes your iPad stands out when you need to use it in the kitchen or even outdoors when you are enjoying the sun and having a sandwich. No worries about it tipping over your iPad because the base is solid aluminum – use it on your desk top or kitchen counter or anywhere flat. Great present because you can even have it engraved. Unfortunately, it is a wee bit expensive for my liking – at $129 !! But I’m sure it would sell out soon because only limited quantity i heard.

That would be what a normal parent would/should do but nope not in this town of ours. Instead of teaching their kids, they come breathing fire down our throat and called us a crook *slap forehead*. It’s like someone selling a stone sink to the wife and i didn’t liked it but instead of talking to the wife – i bring it back to the store and throw it back at their faces. What is the world coming to these days? Parents wonder why their kids turn out the way they do – now here is an example.

I bet I could take that Orlando vacation I’ve been planning, come back 3 weeks later and STILL not have my new TV. Oh and get this, he says if I haven’t heard back by Monday that he will change the delivery escalation to a credit escalation so I can get my money back. Fat lot of good that will do though since it was paid mostly by gift cards, I can’t just take my money elsewhere. And now there’s also no chance of getting such a good deal like they had during boxing day. A 52″ LCD for $1199? Doubt that’ll happen again until next Christmas. Yay for me, I get to just keep on waiting!

I was browsing the main website earlier and was surprised to see that they have a lot of new styles available that I hadn’t noticed in the local stores. Winterized Crocs complete with fake fur linings (and minus all the holes) would be perfect for outdoor use when the weather turns cold in a couple months. So put those Crocs coupons to good use and treat your feet to something sweet.

Press release info:

Optoma’s Pico Projector utilizes the latest LED technology resulting in a colorful and vivid image. The small and powerful unit is based upon DLP technology assuring the highest possible contrast.

“The handheld Pico projector represents the latest advancement in the mobile device display industry. We view the Pico projector as a completely new and exciting market – one which dramatically expands the reach and potential of projection products into new end user applications,” says Dr. William Coggshall, founder and president of Pacific Media Associates.

The product will be first shown at Texas Instrument’s InfoComm 2008 booth C909 and will be available in limited distribution in Europe and Asia in late 2008, with a worldwide launch in 2009.

Wireless mouse is the in thing in our store and the wife would love one of this when it comes out in August by Microsoft. The Mobile mouse 6000 was recently released in conjunction with a similar 5000 model. Both use BlueTrack and are comfortably sized without being too bulky to cart around. The 6000 features Microsoft’s first nano transceiver, which extends only 0.8 centimeters from the computer’s USB and stores handily inside the mouse itself. But the Mobile mouse 4000 is quite similar but comes in 5 colors and is powered by a single AA-battery for 10 months, the 2.4GHz wireless ensures connection up to 15-feet. I better do more Clinicallix reviews, so that i can buy one for the wife when it comes out.

Ohhhh, it’s the first Friday after Thanksgiving (in the US) which signals the start of the Christmas season. So it’s not that I’ve been under a rock, it’s just that I’m not a stinky American =)

While browsing a website with pictures can’t compare to actually wandering the outdoor markets and haggling with the vendors, Asia Pelago is a great alternative for those who won’t be actually traveling to Asia but would like to decorate their home with unique and interesting items.
