1000 tulle dresses of the Chanel empire descend upon you!

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Frankly, I’ve had enough of the Blackberry/iPhone debate. I have it almost everyday with a very special person in my life. How about another delay, Blackberry 9000? AKA the Blackberry Bold. We all know the iPhone is chock full of goodies the Bold has only begun to broach (what new visual display?), and my fingers are slim enough to type on the iPhone with nary a typo, even on long emails, so no complaints here.

The iPhone made the smartphone cool, it made it fashionable. Because what were you using then? The Palm? You are not Jack Bauer, there is only so much you can do on a Palm. The iPhone is so fashionable that Chanel has made an app (for free) featuring their latest couture looks from Fall/Winter 08/09. Because you know, in case your personal shopper at Barney’s swore there’s no gray chinchilla gloves this season, you can prove her wrong just before throwing your iPhone at the incompetent wench. And if I was vacillating on the Blackberry/iPhone fence, then this app pushed me over to Apple’s side. It’s so…useful. Seriously, if you have reservations about jumping on the (Apple) bandwagon, you should know that it’s not sheep-like behavior to be an acolyte of the very thin, very rich, and very fashionable world. It really just makes you cool. And if you have an iPhone, congratulations, you’re already halfway there! However, if you find yourself griping about unwitting roaming data charges, then maybe you should bypass this one. I installed it anyway, because I like to be an early adopter of “cool”.

Cute + Geeky = Win

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Just saw the cutest thing on the net - Of course, I say this at least 3x a day…because as you know, the internets is chock full of interesting things. And maybe I just happen to look for cute + geeky things. That’s a really really awesome combo, not every product can pull that off. It’s totally not the same as cool + geeky, because let’s face it, that’s just too easy. Almost everything that’s geeky is considered cool nowadays, right? Right?

Anyway, this made it to digg front page few days ago. Since it’s wedding season and all, I figured it was worth a blog post.

Here’s the link for more info.

We Play Games Too

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Recently, Forbes published an article about the fact that women play video games too. In fact, they are the driving forces behind such mega internet hits as “Diner Dash” and popular Facebook games (Scrabulous). In fact, these casual games are growing 20% year over year! It finally seems like game developers are clueing into this fact, developing casual “games for girls”. I mean, it’s something I always knew, it’s not that girls don’t play video games, they just play different types of games! But don’t be so quick to label girl gamers as just “casuals”, I know plenty of girls that can kick butt in WoW, Halo, and other “hardcore” games as well!

Oh, and Happy Easter from mmochi!
