Used (and loved) by many a minimalist and design enthusiasts alike, it has become one of the most popular screensavers of the past year. image source And today, I found the perfect physical accompaniment: I love it — it’s the perfect mix of retro, minimalist, and functional design.

Winner of the DVD Player Giveaway!
I received an overwhelmingly positive response to the Geek in Heels DVD Player Giveaway, so thank you to all who entered! Unfortunately, I could not count all entries as they did not adhere to the following rules: Only one comment entry per person would be entered, however… Twitter entries were counted as many times as […]
Win a DVD Player!
Alright, I know that DVDs are on their way out but I still cling onto my 500+ DVD collection because I love movies that much (I have no taste and will watch anything). Our old Toshiba DVD player was decent, but all that changed when we upgraded our television to a widescreen HDTV LCD. With […]
Why We Chose the Miele Over Dyson
Our beloved Roomba has died. Correction: it is “disabled.” It has lost a lot of its suction power, its parts constantly need replacing, and it’s nearly not as “smart” as it used to be. So we made the difficult decision to get a replacement vacuum. I have experienced my share of vacuum frustration over the […]
The iPad
Today, Apple announced its highly-anticipated tablet device. My first thought: are there any women on Apple’s marketing/branding team? It was worth taking 5 minutes out of my busy day to put this together: In all seriousness now… will you be buying an iPad? I personally think it’s superfluous; I am perfectly happy with my laptop […]

The official site describes the I-10 as “classic styling, slim design.” I’m always on the lookout for good, compact point-and-shoot cameras that are not Canon so this is a nice surprise. If […]
Motorola Droid Review
J isn’t one for extravagant gifts, but this past Christmas he gifted me with something I had been drooling over for a very long time: the Motorola Droid. I convinced J to order the phone through Amazon, since its $149.99 pricetag was a lot more attractive than the $199.99 offered by Verizon Wireless stores. (Note: […]
How Many iPhone Apps Do You Use?
I admit it — I’m a cell phone whore. And as much as I love my HTC G1, I hate, hate, HATE the T-Mobile network. The problem is made worse by the fact that I had switched over to T-Mobile from Verizon (the best network in the U.S.) for the G1. I refuse to switch […]
My First DSLR
Earlier this week I decided that things just could not get worse. Yes, there are a lot of horrible things happening in my life in addition to the drama that has been shadowing me for the past few months. And no, I am not exaggerating. But as they say, the only way to go from […]
The Mobile Phones of My Past, Present, and Future
One of my favorite things to do while battling insomnia is to make lists. Endless, pointless lists. Last night I did a mental rundown of all the cell phones I’ve had since my first purchase during my freshmen year in college in 1999. (Before then was pagers. Having access to Korean import stores, I had […]
