One celebrity I never get to use in my regular Match the Celeb With the Cell Phone feature is Oprah Winfrey. Why? Because girlfriend "didn't" have a cell phone — until now! On a recent episode of her show, Oprah revealed to financial guru Suze Orman that she finally got a CELL PHONE! As reluctant as she was to come over to the cell phone dark side, Oprah decided it was time and showed off her latest tech toy at Tuesday's election night victory rally in Chicago.
From what my geeky eyes can see, Oprah either has a shiny and new BlackBerry Bold or a BlackBerry 8830 World Edition model. How cute is the matching case/outfit combo? She's already working the trendy tech accessories! I wonder what made her realize it was time to get techie? Maybe her new found love for the Kindle?
Although I've said before that I wouldn't ditch my computer for a slim and watered-down netbook, I can see the appeal. For some folks, toting around a five pound machine conjures up thoughts of neck stiffness and shoulder realignments, while spending upwards of $1700 for an ultra-light MacBook Air can really break the bank, especially in these volatile economic times. And whether or not Steve Jobs thinks that netbooks are gaining in popularity, the fact remains that they are!
So if you are going to spend your hard earned cash on a tiny mini netbook, the least I could do is help you decide which one is right for you. Check out my guide to the best mini notebooks out there on the market today. No need to thank me, it's all in a day's work.
If you remember the craziness of the wedding season at Sugar, then you remember the myriad possibilities there are to add a geeky touch to your wedding. Sure, a lot was fun to look at, but sometimes you don't stuff that's so overt. You could wear this Nintendo Garter ($23), and the only people who have to know are you and your groom. And your groom's buddies post-wedding when he brags about how awesome his new bride is, wearing Nintendo lingerie and all.
What do you think? Would you sport this under your dress?

I'm significantly more interested in weather-related tips now that, you know, the weather is starting to suck. Umbrella Today alone has already saved me from some downpours! But since I live in a place like San Francisco where the weather report changes every three seconds (yes, literally), I am grateful for ForecastFox.
It's just a free add-on for my statusbar, telling me how the weather's lookin' in my neck of the woods, and internationally, if I want it! Stay dry, kids.
I don't know if I could ever be as comfortable displaying my mess of cords like the apartment dweller in this admittedly breathtaking photo from Desire to Inspire, but I'm definitely less anal about having visible cables running from my beloved tech to my outlets.
You can try and try to hide and gather your cords, but at some point, you have to become all Zen about it and say, "I have visible cords and that's fine." Trust me, you'll sleep better. How do you feel about your cord mess?
