The big gadget news this week is Amazon’s announcement of the release of the Kindle 2. As you hopefully know, I am a huge fan of my Kindle, and the Kindle 2 makes some improvements in the design and functionality – and is selling for about the same price as the other one - [...]
I am going to be one of those crazy old cat ladies – I know I am. If you happen to keep an eye on my Flickr feed, you know that we have *a lot* of cats. We do live on a ranch, so I can get away with telling you I have 18 cats, [...]
Ah well, yeah, I am still smoking. I have “quit” countless times and have used every helper I can find. Hypnosis (quit for 2 months), nicotine patches, nicotine gums and Nicorette. What on earth keeps me coming back to real cigarettes? The lovely breath? The ashes all over my office? The coughing? It’s like a [...]
Tis the season where I start dreaming and scheming ways of getting to the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas, in January. It would be about this (picture one millimeter between my index finger and thumb) hard to talk my hubby into taking off to Vegas that week, but my inner debt hater is rationalizing [...]

Take, for instance, Oprah’s most recent [...]
If it doesn’t plug into the wall or have a battery, is it still a gadget? Methinks so. This is a gorgeous pen from Cross – the Century II Starlight Breast Cancer Awareness Ballpoint Pen. And yes, I am lusting. Cross is donating 10% of the proceeds of the sales of this pen to [...]
So we Jones’ are in need of a new point and shoot digital camera after an unfortunate incident in Grand Cayman involving me, a jet ski and some sting rays. Let’s just say Mama is not going to be jet ski-ing in the ocean again. It is just not fun.
This, however, is fun. This is [...]
Ever since I read about Jason Calacanis and his fatblogging adventures, and his homemade workstation with a treadmill underneath, I have had an increasing lust for one of these – I think they are a BRILLIANT idea. I am SO sedentary. I sit here all day and type. Yeah, I get up to take care [...]
