A Virgin…Mobile party. Solid – an abundance of red, non-virginesque images, fashion integration (engaging local designers to create themed dresses that were master pieces), logo image pillows, hilarious tag lines, hipster dance parties, and of course, Jay Sean. All in all, the Virgin Mobile event at the Berkeley Church (Queen East) was an absolutely stunning good time. All they really needed to sell me were the fancy pillows rather than the fancy drinks (though the Blackberry themed one wasn’t half bad). Enjoyed the scantily clad girls AND boys, alongside the …

 
While I haven’t yet convinced myself to jump on the bandwagon for HD TV as I’m sure the majority of the male population has, I can convince myself that music is worth it. I’ll admit to being a new formed car-and-home music addict, so much so that I won’t let the wheels turn until there’s something blasting through the speakers that’s drive-worthy. In comes HD Radio.
 
Raise your hands if you still listen to radio in the car – because there’s one flailing in the air right now on my end. …

 
Tivoli looks like slick sound from the aesthetic alone. If you’re in the exploratory mood and want to stray away from big brands like Bose, consider Tivoli Audio. While the pricing is a tad higher (comparable to Bose), the products are a new take on function and lifestyle. Despite just recently getting off the market for an iPod dock for home, the iPal and other portable audio devices have me starry eyed.
 
The wood devices pictured above are NetWorks Global Audio Systems, Internet Radio players with more than 13,000 radio channels …

 
Can’t…stop…yelling. But at least it’s hands free. Thanks to Chris I’m the proud owner of this hands free car-clipped blue tooth speakerphone, so I no longer have to fumble while driving or…just not answer for hours. And makes for a lot of: “Hey that girl’s crazy she keeps talking to the sky, freak”.
 
A product of late-night Wal-Mart visiting from holiday season, this wicked device makes for the perfect addition to the Fashion Tech Section of urbanebloc.com (yeah yeah, always thinking content). For under $80.00, this was an easy-install (literally clip-pair-use). …

 
Tis a new look for an aging phone. Got bored one day so I ended up getting a new housing (extra extra chipped bezel I had before). Here it is – the backing is white too (a leathery texture, though I’m certain it’s not real).
 
Reminds me of my old Nokia phone (which I absolutely loved) and when I replaced it’s housing to make it more “urbanebloc-ish”. Now all I need is a good dongle to fob-ify it.

 
I’m all for attractive audio – that’s why I think ipod fever is catching on so strong. An edgier alternative to the otherwise seemingly generic ipod earbuds, would be Skull Candy audio accessories. I can still remember vividly how I got introduced to these. It was when an entire Chinese university class was fighting over buffet-style food displays and lost amidst all the people, I spotted headphones my friend was donning with a skull splashed onto them. A cute skull.
 
“What brand is that?”
 
Then he tipped his head downwards for me …

 
I have to admit,  I was pretty content with my clunky Logitech mouse that I purchased about a year or two ago at Best Buy. When Skanwar saw it, I thought he was overreacting. Until I ended up with the best nonchalent gift ever – the Microsoft Arc Mouse!
 
It’s a glossy beauty. It folds, its receiver is miniscule, and it’s just fun to think about when you’re away (hey, I have digital love). This seemingly awkward device is portable, works like a dream, and most importantly – it meshes so …

 
I would envision Miss Cleo (yes, you know she is – don’t lie. Jamaican-infomercial-like-lady-that-talked-way-loud) telling me that I would one day have a love affair with the cleo. I first spotted the Samsung cleo on the subway, marvelling at the strange shape of the phone (talking through a square must be trying times). Well, miss Wynne has recently acquired one and I must say that it deserves for me to sing praises as of now (sorry Mr. Lean – ps check out his site, he has a comic about the …

 
The last little while if you’ve hung out with me, you’ve likely seen me complain incessantly about my cell phone issues (really, who’s had a cell phone delete all of your SMS, emails, call logs, and PIN conversations over 4 times?) Well, today marks the end of a 5 month-ish era, where I’ve moved up in the world of mobile. That’s right, I took the plunge and negotiated an upgrade from the pitiful pearl (always aim for alliteration) to a beautiful Blackberry Bold. Helloooo mobile browsing and reliable service (well, …

I like to know the time, any time and all the time. As time ticks away I like to savour every minute. Now, you must know that I have an infatuation with watches. I may not know about its chronographic features (say what?), or the precision of its movement. Although, I know a quality watch when I see one and I know that I want a different watch for everyday of the week (currently I’m at five).
 
So when I was looking for my next watch, I wanted a brand that …
