My New Macbook Is Here!

December 16, 2008

I finally got my new Macbook! I finally decided on a previous generation version that was refurbished. It was cheaper than a new one but just as good. Looks totally brand new! I posted pictures on my Flickr so you can get a look at it. I also got a hardshell case for it and a mouse. I’m just soooo love with it. It’s going to take some getting used to a Mac vs having used a PC all of my life but I’m so excited too.

I know I’m going to be spending the next few days just trying to transfer my files over and getting used to the new system. So, far I really like it though. I really love the menu down at the bottom and the mouse is really awesome. So easy to work with. My only complaint is the trackpad, which is better on the new Macbooks which I tried out in the store, but that’s what the mouse is for anyway.

Which totally reminds me! They sent me two mice! I only ordered the one but now I have an extra. I’m trying to figure out whether to keep the extra or sell it. Anyway, it’s late so I should go now! Here’s a picture for the road!

Gadgets that I reeeeeeaaaaaally want!

November 12, 2008

This is a post of all of the gadgets that I really want, but can’t get right now. I will have them someday, it’s just a matter of time.

1. MacBook – I currently own a Dell and while it serves it’s purpose I truly drool for a Mac. It’s pitiful really. Windows has just really been getting on my nerves lately. I really want the black one. My next laptop will certainly be a Mac, no more PC’s for me.

2. The NEW iPod nano – I have the third gen iPod, which is fairly new so I can’t really justify myself buying this one anytime soon. But as soon as i run out of space I’m getting the new one! It’s so much cuter! And the colors are gorgeous. Since I’m currently a little over half way into my memory, I figure a few more months I can excuse myself and get a new one.

3. Nintendo Wii – I love this console! It’s so much fun and totally cute! And of course I love that it’s cheaper than the PS3.Anyway, I think I may be getting this one pretty soon anyway. Something to match my Nintendo DS.

4. Polaroid PoGo – I saw this in the store and I want it! I’m always taking pics but I don’t currently have a photo printer. I like this because I can print pictures from both my camera and my cell phone. I’m not a really formal picture taker so I would like something like this because the pictures are small enough that I could use them for something simple like a collage of pictures or just stick them anywhere. Plus the printer is small so I can take it with me. It’s so cute!

5. Xbox 360 – I really want this console as well. Especially since the price drop! There are some great games on here that I’d love to play. (To hell with exclusive games!lol) Hopefully this holiday season that I’ll be getting my wish.

I know this is a short list. I may update or change it in the future, depending on the changes in my life.

Mini E Cooper is coming out!

October 24, 2008

Many of you probably don’t know, but the Mini Cooper is my absolute dream car! It’s so cute and small but still has so much power! I’ve wanted one for years. Well, I’ve just found out that BMW is releasing an all-electric Mini later on this year. They are only making 500 at first to try and test them out in real world situations. I’m so excited! The only downside is that they are only two seaters, but that really isn’t bad for me because it’s not like I’m hauling around extra people everyday anyway. What I like about this electric car is that it doesn’t look like some kind of toy or spacecraft like other electric cars do. It looks just like the regular Mini, only with two seats. To see the article in Wired, look here.

LG Dare

August 15, 2008

I am officially the owner of a new phone, the LG Dare! It’s so pretty! I looooove it. I’ve had it for about two hours and I can’t stop playing with it and messing with it. I’m so excited! I’ll probably take pictures later and upload them to my flickr account. I’m so happy! I’m going to go play with my phone now.
