Nano and Touch for Under 100 Bucks

Do you know that you can buy a Nano in Indonesia for under 30 bucks and a Touch for under 100 bucks? You really can, I swear to God! The only problem is they're assembled in China, designed by Apple in California some surreptitious Chinese company. If plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, then these guys have no problem flaunting their honesty.

The alleged 2nd and 3rd generation Chinese Nano. Don't expect the scroll wheel to work like the real thing. The less you pay, the less you get. But you gotta hand it to them, the similarity is abundant.

Now for the Touch, what they fail in software and hardware they make up yet again in appearance. The resemblance is uncanny. China, the Xerox center of the world. Mix it up with Indonesia, the authentic land of the free, and you'll see these products in shopping malls. Side by side with their Chinese-Californian counterparts.

The Time (Or Lack Thereof) of Our Lives

My first blog in weeks. Time has definitely become a luxury lately. Wake up, go to work, sleep, repeat. The vicious cycle of the market research work force (and many other out there, I'm sure). Life outside the office is close to non-existent. The same goes for the pay. Why am I here, I wonder from time to time. Beats the hell out of me. All I know is that this particular job is a natural predator for social lives and relationships (even for the ones you're not in yet and hope to be in). I don't hate my job. But I detest the time demands.

This is one of the very few songs that encourages me to sit back, close my eyes and listen, really listen to every rhythm, every note and every sound.

A Day To Remember

"In a better world I would have kissed her over the ice trays and that would have been the end of all our troubles. But you know exactly what kind of world we live in. It ain't no fucking Middle-earth. I just nodded my head, said, See you around, ____, and drove home."

Move Over KITT!!!

LEDs are the new shades.

They're fun to watch and conspicuous.

Colorful and somewhat magnetic.

Not to mention energy efficient and durable.

And rumor has it that they serve well as a fashion statement too... .

And for you geeks out there, I bet my savings that you'd love to have a wicked cool Knight Rider-esque scanner lights on your belt buckle. Guaranteed to have the ladies running... away.
