I hadn’t been playing Guitar Hero very long when I slapped some Hello Kitty stickers on my guitar. But for those who’d like a more finished look, there’s the Guitar Hero “Pink Heart” Skin from Amazon.com! It never occurred to me to skin the guitar, even though my Sidekick and laptop are […]

I absolutely do not get the ad copy on this one. Apparently this leash is named for “Jackie O” - you know, Jacqueline Kennedy, she of the most famous pink outfit ever. But why the reference to the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito? What’s that all about? Anyway, for those […]

This camera, by Fuji, is called the FinePix Z5. And yes, it has Miss Kitty White on it. But I’m not sure I like it. For one thing, I am of the opinion that a gemstone rendering of HK should be done in silver-tone metal. White gold, platinum, sterling silver, […]

First, allow me to apologize for going without posting for so long - I was making it through finals and then recovering from finals! I got A’s in four out of five classes, and that’s after 9 years of not being in school at all, so I’m pretty pleased with the results.
Anyway, I wanted […]

I just started a new diet and as a result I need to add exercise into the equation. I’m not sure how good yoga is as a form of weight loss exercise, but it is certainly popular for people who are concerned about health and wellness in general. So if you’re into […]

This little radio is so cute! The Sony ICF-M55 is currently only available in Japan, and who knows if it will ever make it into the U.S. market. It seems like it’s old technology - it’s just a radio - but Sony has put it into a cute little package, so I […]

As cute as the DOC speaker dock is, I see some problems. First of all, it’s only for the Nano. Not even the new Nano - only 1st and 2nd Generation Nanos, the longer ones. Second, as you can see from this picture, it fits in your hand…but it would be […]

Because no two people have the same shape ears, earbud manufacturers are forced to make very minimalist shapes that end up fitting nobody’s ear. To counteract this problem, there is a tiny industry specifically focused on keeping your earbuds in your ears. There’s the PodFitKit (which I’ve tried, it’s great), there’s Earjams, […]
