BBK AM99

It may seem like the name of a new and ill-named MP3 player, however the title of this article is that of a piece of DIFFERENT electronic-ware. My mind is boggled by something, and it's not relationships for once. No, for once the techno-girl is stumped. How does an electronic dictionary, readily available to anyone in China cost them a mere $20.00 (apx. US value) and it cost anywhere from $100-$400 to purchase here in the United States? This little gem:
Retails for $99.00 here. Ridiculous. I just want an easy way to communicate with Yixuan. Is that so much to ask? She has her own dictionary that she survives on and I thought I'd reciprocate that by purchasing my own. I knew Japanese ones were crazily expensive, but not the Chinese ones. How does our country stand on its' own two feet if it can't learn to provide easy communication between countries and cultures? I don't understand our country sometimes.

Bible: Remastered

Something new in the world of Christianity is difficult to come by. The religion has been around for thousands of years, so how does one improve upon that?
Korean company Xell has had a product on the market for awhile now that could revolutionize the way one reads their bible. The Digital Bible Player – shortened to DBP for your speaking ease – has been supplying Korean’s with the good Lord’s teachings digitally. The new launch adds an mp3 player and FM tuner so you can bebop to your favorite tunes at church or even listen to the football game you so desperately want to hear. There is also an E-book reader, allowing you to load other literature and read that at the same time. Not much of a chance in getting this little treasure to the states any time soon, but keep your eyes peeled if you speak hongol and want to read the bible with out the risk of those pesky paper cuts.

Thanks to the folks over at Akihabara News for this tid-bit.

Crazy Thanko strikes again...

Those crazy folks over at Thanko have come up with another seemingly useless creation. The USB powered eye warmer. Yep, an EYE warmer. I know how often my eyes get cold. Whenever hell freezes over I get the chill. I feel rest assured now that the next time this happens I'll have my handy USB eye warmer by my side. You can check it out in English HERE.

Or just take my word for it.

Somewhere over...

Find yourself fighting that pesky little Leprechaun every time you try to snatch some gold from the end of the rainbow? Check out this new product for sale over at my favorite hang-out Strapya. I think they decided it was time to branch out into gadget selling. Who knows - maybe they'll be selling Thanko products soon. I'd love that.
