Tidbits

  • Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…

  • A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles.  I wanna play!

  • Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places.  2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.

  • A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…

  • An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies.  I smell a lawsuit.

  • Will trade beer for Crumpler bags.  Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

Itching for a Spending Spree

February 01, 2007, 2:41 am

Man, January is barely over with, and I’m already back in consumer mode.  Le sigh.

First on the list, a Dell UltraSharp LCD.  Work spoiled me, and once you go dual screen, you can’t go back.  It makes web development sooooo much easier.  So I borrowed an 19” from my brother.  Very impressed with how MacOS handles a second monitor.  Now if only Parallels will support full dual screen, I’ll be happy.  So Dell, please put your 17” or 19” higher-end LCDs on your Days of Deals sale, cause I need something with DVI input.

And Apple announced their coloured iPod Shuffles today.  I was tempted when the grey one first came out, but figured I already have enough iPods.  But but.. there’s an ORANGE one.  Orange!!  Ooooh how can I resist?  Mike offered to paint my old stick shuffle orange.  I declined.

I guess the third item on my list isn’t really on my shopping list, just my wish list.  The Toyota Blade is a luxary high-end hatch from Toyota that’s exclusive to Japan.  I hope it comes to North America sometime, we really lack any higher-end hatches.  The Corolla is suppose to get a redesign for 2008.  Though I don’t think it will ever be as nice as the 2008 Nissan Atima Coupe.
