Last Minute Gift For My Sister
Last week I asked you to help me find a nice laptop bag I could use as a last minute Christmas gift for my little sister and Arianell found a fantastic white Telli Laptop Bag that is near perfect. My criteria, which was that the bag be reasonably-priced, a nice shape and size and chic, was more than met.
The TEELI 15" Ladies Slimline Laptop Bag is superlight and slim, so it's perfect for my sister's Macbook.
Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Spoon Sisters' iPod Holder
It's always hard to find the right iPod and gadget case, but if I've learned anything, it's that mesh, arm straps and "carry with you options" are hardly ever the answer. The Spoon Sisters' iPod holder is known for its dual pockets, which allow you to carry your MP3 player and cell phone, MP3 Player and digital camera, or any combination of today's "must have with you at all times" electronic essentials. Does it deliver on style?

Have You Spent Money on Virtual Goods?
I recently read an article about the increase in spending on virtual goods and gifts. According to the piece, analysts estimate that this kind of virtual spending could bring in $1 billion this year in the US alone — and nearly $5 billion worldwide.
From Facebook apps like the popular FarmVille — which allows players to run their own virtual farms — to competitive games like Sorority Life — where players have to dress a group of college sorority sisters to compete with rival sororities — the article explains that players are likely to buy items to improve their performance in the game or to build up a collection of goods that will impress friends.

What Was the First Pic You Took on Your Camera or Phone?
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but methinks the first photo snapped on a new camera or phone is usually worth less than a buck.
PopSugar Community member Lydiat recently shared the first pic her sister took on her new phone, and I chuckled when I realized I have a collection of similar premiere pics. Whenever I buy or review a new device, my instinct is to take a quick shot of my desk, my shoes, or the street I'm standing on.
What's Worse: Poor Cell Service or a Bad Internet Connection?
There are two unavoidable spots in my commute where I lose cell phone service. . .everyday.
Where's Waldo Gets Turned Into a Video Game!
It's been awhile since I've been this overjoyed about a new video game, but it's not everyday you find out that one of your favorite childhood books is going to be turned into a video game! Growing up, my sisters and I had the entire Where's Waldo series of books as we'd flip each page trying to find Waldo — wearing his signature black-rimmed geeky glasses, red and white striped shirt, blue pants and matching hat — hiding within colorful illustrations that kept us just as amused as Waldo himself.
Not much info on this game release, but it is said to be like an animated version of the books and will be released on both the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS (woot!).
