Miss the runway coverage on Fab because we're between fashion weeks again? Have no fear my dears, I have THE runway video for you — and it's all Legos, baby. Oh, those walks, those turns!
Did you know that digital TV viewers in the UK spend an average of three and a half hours a week channel surfing? The results didn't indicate whether the participants (aged 16-20) had DVRs, which I'm assuming would alter the total amount of time. Ever since my TiVo entered my life, I no longer have to worry about bouncing around from channel to channel, hoping to find something that peaks my interest — because I always have hours of taped shows that I know I'll love.
What about you? Do you still spend time channel surfing?
Nowadays, personalizing ecards is a must — the more flair you can add, the better!

When I spotted this site on Neatorama, I knew these cards would be a fun way to spread festive cheer for upcoming holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Mushy Gushy is really easy to use. And best of all, it's free!

Now that you're singing Fergie's tune in your head, I'll direct you to this pimped-out LaCie 500GB External Hard Drive ($150). It's gold, it's artsy, it's totally chic. For any geek, this would be the next best thing to getting an actual gold brick under the tree this Christmas.
I need help finding a laptop. This wouldn't be my main computer, (I have a desktop PC I use all the time), but I have started writing and I'd like to be able to just jot stuff down whenever I feel like it, so it seems like a laptop would be a good idea. I might also decide to keep my web design stuff on it, but I'm not sure yet. I need something basic, but I'd like it to be fast, have a comfortable keyboard, and I want to be able to put some graphics work on it, too. Oh, and it needs to be under 500 dollars, and I don't like the new tiny ones.
What a mission! Check out my recommendations when you read more
