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 …

I’ve been looking around for awhile to jazz up my laptop. I’m not into putting stickers on my beautiful aluminum MacBook Pro… or attaching ugly plastic casing to make it look, umm… different. But when I came across Incase’s limited-edition laptop sleeves, I think I found something worth purchasing. Incase teamed up with Arkitip Inc. to bring a little bling to this laptop thing. Don’t get me wrong, the MacBooks are fine just they way they are, but they are becoming somewhat ubiquitous for my taste. …

Blackberry users (or should I say Crackberry users) are known to covet their beloved device. The clicking of the plastic keyboard as you type up an e-mail; the rattling of the pearl as you scroll; the variety of colours to match your lifestyle; and that urge to check your phone even though you know it hasn’t vibrated. The Blackberry has definitely become a companion that once owned, one wonders how can you ever live without it.
 
No matter how sexy the iPhone touchscreen device may be, you remain loyal to your …

Style isn’t just about fashion and clothing – it plays into the greatness that is technology.
 
Always wanted big sound but don’t have the big space to go with it?
 
Sony’s BRAVIA Theatre Micro System (DAVIS50BM) will do it for you.
 
This 1000W, 5.1 surround sound home theatre system offers great sound, and is perfect for any small or big room. It’s stacked with an HDMI output, 200W subwoofer, DVD up-conversion, MP3 playback, and Dolby Digital… are you still with me?
 
Be not mistaken, the speakers are bloody small being the size …

I owe it to you all to talk about the newest and shinest of the Macbooks. Of course I’m entrenched in bitterness, having purchased the last of the OS Tiger bunch prior to the beautifully enhanced Leopard – but now that they’ve revamped the Macbook I can’t help but to feel a sense of being slightly cheated. Why? Well, for starters, my “fake black keyboard” (it’s really a keyboard cover that’s black made of silicone) is basically a staple part of the new Macbook.
 
It’s skinnier, lighter, glossier, has an enhanced …

I have a hip daddy – and by that I mean, my dad’s pretty hip with his two shuffles and ipod nano. For his birthday I struggled to find something good, and through a frantic mall-visit I managed to come up with a solid idea – an exhaustive-feature ipod dock.
 
I must say, I always have a horrific experience when I visit The Source (by Circuit City). I always feel the pressured up-sell or the complete dismissal of my presence when their commission-hungry employees try to “help” me (sorry franchise, I …

UrbanOutfitters likes to spam me, and I like it when they spam me good. That way I get to learn that apparently I have a knack for picking up things prior to them being popular (like that time that I bought into the corset belt and everyone gave me funny looks. They were right.)
Regardless, this one was a good vote of confidence that the lomo lifestyle is re-emerging (about time those out of whack photos came back).
The premise? Lots of plastic and strange effects as a result of them …
