now i have to find a new doorbell situation.

Pulse: Bamboo Laptop Powered By AsusTek
ok. despite the reason that this laptop has a bamboo casing because it's jumping on the Green/renewable resources/eco-friendly gimmick bandwagon, and my supreme loathing for this latest marketing fad and gimmickry, my love for bamboo supercedes it and i love this.
Debuted in Taiwan last year, i just may keep an eye out for it in 09 and get a job so i can get one of these.
....or do it johnny dangerously style and put bamboo contact paper on my macbook.
If you are on Nissan's Intelligent key network, you are in the lucky group to now have your intelligent key integrated into your wireless phone.
However, misplace this phone, and you can't go anywhere or call anyone to come and get you. (via CEATEC Japan 2008, which begins September 30)
let's hope it has everything i need, erm, want in a phoney phone: internets (duh), lots of extensions, apps, camera, video (if it becomes www.qik.com enabled, i'll be so happy) and MULTIMEDIA MESSAGING. stupid iphone does not have that and it's just retarded of them.

if you know me, then you know that i'm the least DIY kind of person ever. ever ever. i remember when Ready Made magazine first came out and it seemed really cool and hip until i saw that you had to MAKE all the stuff in there. and DIY stuff always takes more time to do it than it's worth. then does the first time never comes out exactly right. so all that time wasted. and then it LOOKS all DIY. i prefer things to look manufactured, and finished, not hadmade. i'm not really of the "shabby chic" or "rustic" aesthetic. i like things to look laser cut or at least stiched nice and tight by the small hands of the children in the sweatshops. they get a good start, right at the critical period where kids just absorb things like languages and they develop a lot of dexterity.
i mean, i have mad respect for the peeps who actually do it themselves, and some of my best friends are way crafty. i admire them and their work, for sure. i just don't have in in me to come trhough like that. my style is more towards ultra modern, which pretty much is the opposite from the whole DIY look. not a rough hewn edge in modern lines.
but then i came across this: the DIY cable organizer this is, to me, the perfect DIY project. it takes something you already have, less than 3 tools, none of which you have to go dig around in a toolbox out in your garage for, it only takes a few minutes to make, and it's actually useful, and bonus, it's really geeky, which overrides the lack of cute of the final product.
admittedly, i'm a gadget freak,
and so i am always battling the constant tangle of cables and wires, so
this is so perfect for me. i mean, i can sit and do this at work on a
break, and then even get my desk organized.
the comments led to this, however:
