RevitaLash

Harro! Remember me, the girl with the non-existent eyelashes? Last year I tried eyelash extensions and loved the look. I had long, sexy lashes for the first time in my life! It was a miracle! After a few courses, however, I decided that the treatments were making too big a dent in my wallet. Back to short stubby lashes for me. I still had hope, and rightfully so. A couple of months ago my mother called me up and said she had just read all about a "revolutionary" eyelash conditioner called RevitaLash that will help me grow longer and thicker lashes. I was tempted, but the $100+ price tag deterred me. My mother, however, proceeded to go ahead and buy a tube for my...

The Palm Pre Kicks the iPhone’s Ass

With CES 2009 closing tonight, I think it is safe to say that the biggest announcement/drool-worthy gadget at this year's largest gadgets show was the Palm Pre. Upon first look, the phone isn't too impressive. But if you're curious to take a good look at what the interweb has been buzzing about since its announcement Friday, take the time to watch this video of the keynote: Dontcha just love it? However, no device is perfect. My three main gripes with the Pre are: No expansion card. The 8 GB of internal storage is impressive, but most smart phones now come standard with the option of popping in a microSD card for full utilization of its features. Heck, a 2 TB (yes you read that right...

Welcome Back, Mr. Bauer!

Hello readers! I am so sorry for being away for so long but I have a good reason: I have been working on a super secret undercover project. Well that's not 100% accurate.

If everyone on 24 listened to Jack Bauer, the show would be called 1. In 96 hours, Jack Bauer has killed 93 people and saved the world 4...

Stealing Your Neighbor’s Wireless

Today's UserFriendly forced a nice chuckle out of me (click to enlarge): However funny this may be, I couldn't ignore the fact that the reason for its humor is due to the prevalence of the act. Do you think stealing your neighbor's wireless is ethical? On one hand (from a geek's point of view), I feel that if someone doesn't know the importance of network security, they deserve to have their wireless stolen. However, the fact still remains that you're still using something that someone else is paying for, without their knowledge. I once knew a guy in college who discovered that he was receiving free cable at his apartment. He had such strong convictions against stealing that he destroyed the power cable to his television....

Bring on the Pain!

Back in the days when I had a lot more free time and the luxury of The Bank of Mom & Dad supporting me, I was a regular feature at my local gym. Fifteen minutes on the elliptical, thirty minutes of strength training, and another fifteen on the elliptical (or a few laps in the pool) to cool down. I have never been skinny. In fact, I've always struggled a bit with my weight, because unlike most Asians I was cursed with a curvy body. However, during this year of religious workouts, I was at my most fit with tight limbs and a 25" waist. I didn't have a six-pack, but I had a well-defined line extending down my tummy. I...
