Christmas brought to me a nook by Barnes & Noble

Admin Starr — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 22:40:13 +0000

I can’t remember the last gift I got that had me as excited and wound up as my Christmas gift yesterday. My husband bought me a color nook by Barnes & Noble. I of course had to explore all the features and discovered that it comes preloaded with some simple but nice game apps. My favorite feature is the LendMe app that allows you to read books that friends and family purchase on their nook.

Right now is the perfect time to stock up on your ebooks:

If you already have ePubs or pdf files you can use those on your nook too as long as they are not protected by the author. I will post more as I do research on this topic.

Thinkgeek – a great place to buy techie gifts

Admin Starr — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 14:19:38 +0000

If you are into sci-fi, weird or just techie type products then you need to checkout Think Geek “stuff for smart masses”. My husband being sort of a techie in a small way (He is a systems admin sr.) he of course drew my attention to this site around Christmas when it was time to get one of the guys at work a gift. It couldn’t be as easy as one of the girls that just made a wish list on Amazon. Nope, he wanted a USB Plasma Ball and I said, “he wants a what?” being the clueless wife of a tech guy.

I love science and everything about it and when this thing came in we had to check it out. Amazing little thing makes you want to touch it for no apparent reason. I felt like a kid again!

I just noticed that they have a clearance section. Today it has over 200 items marked on clearance so something for everyone just about. Rightfully so they have this little gem of an item featured. The Sun and Moon jars are closer to $35 but they sound very cool.

During the day you set them in the sunlight and they recharge and then when it gets dark they come on. I am not sure how much light they toss out but they come in Sun (yellow), Moon (blue) and Pink Moon (pinkish purple if you ask me). They claim they can be left out in any weather so I would say a great look for your flower garden! Although I bet my hubby and the kids would want them in the house somewhere so they could play with them. Making silly faces in the cool colorful light would be tons of fun as well.

Please forgive the mess while we do some construction
