Well we’ve all been seeing the awesome iPhone commercials with all those Apps, those awesome apps like … a level! OK that may sound silly to you, but the iPhone apps offer more than something for everyone. The newest and coolest Apps would ensure a better quality of life for everyone who can afford it, and if you can, I think it’d be totally worth the bills!

So now … I want to get an iPhone! (With a nice leather pink tight-fitting case, thank you). Do you want one as well? Check out the recent ads…

Do you want one now?

This new Mac Book looks great, mix the Mac Book green with pro and make it small (13″ width, widescreen would be nice) and it could be my next computer.

It’s a good thing the economy is the way it is though, because there is no mention of this machine on Apple.com whatsoever. Or any sign of it being purchasable in the near future. No “Froogle” or news jumps out at me. (And I’m demanding and require that for it to count as marketed.)

The worst thing is that Apple.com’s search doesn’t make any sense, they promote random movies when I search for what should be Apple products. Is this some lame iTunes tie-in? That’s just what it is, lame.

Add a page for every product and/or ad you serve to TV Apple, god, I thought you were smarter than that!

At least(???) we can enjoy the above ad, but it’s kind of like the fairy tale that is the rest of our hopes for bettering our planet. It’s not like I don’t trust Barack Obama, it’s just that well, it’s lame duck season, and unfortunately that doesn’t mean hunting.

A foot note, kudos to YouTube for their new video embed. Not only does it work well with WordPress, but it matches almost any site, which is so tempting now that there are so many other embeddable video sites! I just wish the Google affiliation with it could fit into my layouts (sidebars) like these vids do my posts!! (However we can go straight to YouTube to get Google code for single videos or multiples, so although it won’t fit most sidebars, it’s a great step!) (Of course, getting revenue from embedding YouTube videos into posts is also huge incentive!)

*Update* Vote for this story on these social / “green” sites here:

• @Digg
• @ PlanetChange
• @ MindBodyGreen
• @ Care2

It’s all fixed now. I know about when this happened, too. I should have known to check on the site when views dropped to 0, but we just came back and then i hadn’t posted in a few days so I thought it was normal. Well, at least it wasn’t??? Heh.

Enjoy the site, yeap, no real new posts at the moment, but maybe I’ll try to update as soon as I can to make up for the lack of everything.

Normally even I wouldn’t think fashion could sway away presidential votes*, but …. ???WTF??? is that “tie”???!!!

I mean Hilary Clinton needs to go on “What Not to Wear”. Picture that blue suit from her “no decisions” speech unbuttoned and flapping away from her hips. *Shudder*

I don’t think Clinton (as in Clinton Kelly of Stacy and Clinton from WNTW*) wanted her to get more votes from the publicity (*see, not Hilary Clinton herself, she’d fight to get Iraq to vote for her if she could). I’m hoping that’s the reason she didn’t go on to get a makeover. *innocent smile* Shame, really.

Video Star, John’s original blog post.

The Hot Mac Ad Guy is in a movie: Accepted!

And apparently his name is Justin Long.

The movie looks stinky but it’s nice to see the (more) ads, I guess.

There’s only one this week, but that’s pretty good, although you never know what might pop up!

Pursed Lips featured a laptop bag by Case Logic that’s half stylish details, half practical business; which is pretty good.

I’m a big designer. Ella and I became friends designing online. Oh, I mean graphic/web designing, not L’s beloved fashion illustrating.

Anyway, I helped design this layout. I design various things online and Ella was stuck at how to create this vision. I loved that vision and realized it would actually be quite easy. (From that, she lured me into this blog, actually into being very, very excited about this blog.)

But I was stepping into something bigger than I realized. We use templates because of the blog being on a script with its own “classes.” Well, this causes problems when the designer doesn’t understand every nook inside the code. And I’m now here to help.

This brings me back to my laptop, which I wasn’t going to mention, even though I’ve been wanting to, until my big reveal with a big review (and apparently, we need to reapply to Dell (yeah, no Mac) affiliates (no monay, no link) …

I spent the last few days since receiving it setting up all my settings And I spent most of today [yesterday, now] setting up the wireless Internet (note that for later). Throughout the process of setting things up, I kept playing with resolutions, because it is a widescreen (benefits and downsides, but I’ll work it out so that it’s the best choice, trust me, I know) it’s different, and because it’s so tiny at 12″.

Once I got online this afternoon, I further played with the resolutions. Then I logged on to Lipped Media sites. And I noticed …

They do not work in 800 x 600 resolution. I know they were supposed to be optimized for it.

So Ella worked on it, got really stressed, hurt her eyes from switching back and forth and decided she needed help. Well, I’m here! (Darn it.)

And I jumped back and forth between two machines, ’cause I ain’t using 800 x 600 on a large monitor! (And I didn’t have enough design tools on the laptop, yet.)

So we pulled all-nighters. Now you see that most of the sites (I lost all energy with only Pet-Pet left. I’m so bad, they get few hits, I’ll “hit” ‘em, tomorrow) are working fine.

So, all afternoon it was annoying computer stuff, then all night it was frustrating CSS. What. a. day.

And that’s probably why I’m writing this rambley post. No good. Should I even publish it? I’ll ask Ella to work her editing skills on it. ;-D!

*Snooooozzzz*

[* Ella: Cute story---not sure what more to do with it. I'm afraid of cutting too much. I'm not sure how publishable it is, but I know we both worked so hard, we kind of want the story out! ]

I like my pink iPods, shiny phone covers, girly sizes (oh, lots of guys like those, too). I like accessories/decorations and I love cases. I like cases even more than I like the gadgets (thingums), sometimes. I even have many different makeup cases (and I need to resort to using them for my “toys” (boy word, again)).

I like anything designer (don’t have it, though); I like unnecessary things, as well as functional. I love the way electronic devices improve my life or entertain me, but I just might like things more for the fashion.
