Geek Chic: Glam Up Your Gadgets

There comes a point in every woman’s life when she is handed the ultimate gadget or newest piece of technology and she smiles from ear to ear.  Then, in the next moment, she stops and wonders to herself what in the world she can possibly do to make it look chic.  Let’s face it, the gadget in itself may be cool, but the ways of toting it around are limited, at least if you’d like to have some sort of style.  And, while black never goes out of style, that plain black laptop bag just isn’t cutting it for you anymore.  Take a look at some of my chic geek girl gadget finds that will have all of your friends drooling!

2009 Holiday Guide: Keurig Platinum Brewing System {A Giveaway!}

If you haven’t already checked out my 2009 gift suggestions for the tech-savvy crowd, then you’re totally missing out.  Not only are there a lot of great gift suggestions over there, but you can read all about how I have this really cool iPod dock that plays really awesome sounding music, but all I get to listen to are the Imagination Movers.  Don’t get me wrong, I am very much an Imagination Movers fan, but there is a limit to the amount of times that I can hear “Where are you Puppy Dog” before I go a little nutso.  Oh, fine.  I already am a little nutso.

My friends, meet the iH15.  The sweetest, color-changing, bee-bopping iPod/iPhone dock that there ever was.  This would make a great gift for a teenager, especially, though mine looks kinda adorable in my kitchen.  The best part is while I’m rockin’ out to the Movers, my iPhone is working up a charge.  Sweet.

2009 Holiday Guide: Mophie Juice Pack Air {A Giveaway}

If you’ve checked out my 2009 gift suggestions for the tech-savvy crowd, then you’ve already read my long winded story about how, when there are a bunch of geeks in one place, my iPhone battery dies on me.  The Mophie Juice Pack Air makes my long days at conferences like Blog World Expo and TribeCon SO much easier because I never have to worry about my battery taking a leave of absence.

So, yes, the MJPA (because it just gets WAY too tiring typing all of that out each time) pretty much rocks my world.  So does the company, because they loved that I loved my Mophie SO much that they offered to give one away to one of my awesome CSC readers.  Dude, this would make the coolest gift for the iPhone freak in your life.  Or, you know, just keep it for yourself.  You deserve it.

2009 Holiday Guide: Gifts for the Tech-Savvy

I wanted to kick off the 2009 Holiday Gift Guide with a few of my favorite gifts for the Geek Girl in all of us!  Of course, most of these gifts would work for either gender, so I’m probably not being entirely fair, since most the the men that I know would kill to have any of these gifts!  So, without further ado, here are my top picks for the Tech-Savvy folks on your list.

Livespeakr – A set of small, portable speakers for your iPhone and iPod touch, great for listening to your music anywhere you can imagine.  I use mine most frequently out in the backyard and in the kitchen.  Occasionally it plays some of my favorite tracks, but I find it mostly serves my daughter’s purposes and is usually playing a song by the Imagination Movers.  It has a USB rechargable battery that lasts anywhere from 14-16 hours and works in both portrait and landscape mode.  Sa-weet!

Digital Foci: Pocket Album – A new twist on digital photo frames, this is a digital photo album that boasts a 2.8′ screen and can hold up to FOUR THOUSAND PHOTOS.  That’s right, you can tell your entire life story with this baby, especially if you make use of the folders function to organize your photos.  It’s small enough to slip in your purse and carry around with you, too – it even comes with it’s very own carrying case and viewing stand.

WikiReader — The WikiReader is a nerd’s dream gift (or nerdette, as the case may be).  I mean that in a totally endearing way, because I LOVE it.  Basically it puts 3 million topics at your fingertips – anytime, anywhere.  You pay a flat fee for the device, which includes all of the Wikipedia entries you could ever want – and the best part is that it does not need an internet connection to work.  It has three simple buttons for navigation, and the rest is controlled through a touch-screen interface.  You can even update the device yourself on a regular basis. (PS – it even has parental controls!  Yes, Veronica, you can give this to your High School student after all!)

SmartSwipe — This site is called Chic Shopper Chick for a reason!  For all of you frequent online shoppers like myself, you’ll be eagerly embracing the SmartSwipe – which is a pesonal credit card reader, just like you use in a retail store.  Apart from feeling very high tech (because you will feel very James Bondesque when you use this thing) the SmartSwipe provides you with additional protection and privacy from online phishing.  Basically, it’s a smarter, more secure way to shop online.  This would also make a great gift for anyone in your family who REFUSES to shop online because they are scared the Russians are stealing their information (I’m looking at you Gram!).

LogMeIn Ignition – Just yesterday a friend sent me a DM that said “can you email me the document I sent you yesterday?  I’m not home and I wante to show it to someone.”  Luckily that won’t happen to me anymore because I’ve started using LogMeIn – an application for the iPhone and iPod touch that makes the iPhone the ultimate productivity tool for the busy, on-the-go parent, business traveler or student. No matter where you are, you can have instant access to virtually any internet-connected computer via your iPhone or iPod Touch.  A great gift for anyone attached at the hip to their laptop!  (Love it?  Win a copy of LogMeIn!)

Mophie Juice Pack Air - When I was at Blog World Expo, I had this teeny, tiny, minor little issue of my iPhone continuing to die.  All the time.  Like, no battery at all.  That’s what happens when you have a bunch of geeks in one place, right?  One night my friend slipped one of these little contraptions on my phone and pressed a little button on the back, and voilà!  Insta-battery.  Of course, I had to have one.  A purple one, at that.  This light little contraption functions as a cover for your phone, but also includes it’s own battery.  I plug it into my laptop at night, plug in my phone elsewhere, and the next morning I have the equavalient of two full batteries.  The best part about the Mophie is that you can flip a switch to tell your phone to use the Mophie battery first, so that you can then remove the cover and have a fully charged iPhone to last you the rest of the night.  (Like it?  Win a Mophie!)

iSkin Protouch – Germophobes, neatfreaks, and eye-squinters rejoice!  The iSkin Protouch keyboard covers are made of silicone and have embedded Microban® antimicrobial product protection, which provides continuous cleaning action, inhibiting the growth of damaging microbes, such as bacteria, that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration.  Oh, and did I mention that the letters are printed, nice and big, on the keyboard? Oh yeah, so big that even my mom could read them!  (I’m picking on all SORTS of people in this guide, aren’t I?)  Even better?  The iSkin Protouch softens the sounds of typing, so it would make my French friends very happy, because, as they once told me in college while we were studying in the library — “Americans do everything loudly.  You even type loudly.”  The iSkin Protouch comes in all kinds of patterns and options, even one that allows the keys of the MacBook Pro to light up at night and still be seen.  Squee!

iHome iH15 Color Changing iPod Dock – This dock not only charges your iPod or iPhone, but it plays your music AND changes colors.  You can pick one color or you can let it rotate to all of the different ones.  An awesome gift for a teen, or the perfect item to keep on your desk.  My 2 year old thinks that it’s basically a dance party in a box – between the changing colors and the Disney songs!  It even has a subwoofer built in (I just LOVE that word, I’m such a dork) so the sound is actually really, really awesome for such a small little box.  (Love it?  Win a iH15 from iHome!)

Go Wild With the Dyson Animal!

I am by no means a domestic goddess.  I’ve freely admitted that I’m far from being a neat freak, choose not to share my culinary skills with the world, and am just generally unskilled in that area.  However, for some reason I seem to have an unnatural obsession with vacuum cleaners.  I know, it’s strange…it’s just that for some reason I get an enormous sense of satisfaction from those lines that a good vacuum cleaner will make on carpet.  Not to mention that since Little AG was born, we all tend to spend a good bit of time on the floor (check out the proof) playing, sitting, and yes, even napping.  Having two dogs works against my efforts to keep the carpet in perfect condition too, so having a vacuum cleaner that really works on all of my floors and doesn’t lose suction is so important to me.

I’m already a fan of Dyson vacuums, and have sung the praises of their products on many occasions (check out this post from October when Little AG knocked over a plant in my living room! The Dyson DC16 saved my life – and my carpet – I have pictures!).  This week the brand new Dyson DC28 Animal was released – with brand new Airmuscle technology that was 3 years in the making.  Engineers at Dyson have created a vacuum that works on every surface in your house without sacrificing the powerful suction that they are famous for.  I have owned vacuum cleaners in the past (names omitted to protect the guilty) that claimed to function on hard surfaces as well as they did on carpet – however I never found it to actually be true.  It seemed to either not clean the hard floor well enough OR it was too hard to push on the carpet.  I’m won’t go into all of the technology and science behind WHY it works, but trust me when I say that I tested it out myself, and it’s true.  The Dyson DC28 Animal made the transition from a thick rug to a hardwood floor, and then onto ceramic tile with ease — and it even managed to suck up all of the garlic powder that Little AG had so kindly sprinkled around the kitchen for me — you know, to test out the new vacuum.  What can I say…she’s mommy’s little helper!!!

The new DC28 Animal makes it’s debut this week, and be warned, it comes with a hefty $599 price tag. However, if you want a vacuum that works like it’s supposed to and STAYS in working condition this is a worthwhile investment.  For me, having pets and a toddler makes it a smart investment – hands down.  Have you ever used Dyson products before?  What do you think of them?

2009 Resolution: Get Organized! (A Giveaway)

One of my New Years resolutions is to get organized.  I have great intentions, but inevitably the clothes are no longer in the correct hamper, things come crashing down out of my pantry when I open the door, and my wallet becomes difficult to snap shut because of all of the receipts that I shove inside of it in case I “need it” later.  I realize and freely admit that my lack of organization is not one of my more charming qualities.  This year I need to work on the clothes sorting and cluttered pantry, but thankfully, I’ve got the stuffed wallet covered!

I wrote a post a while back about this awesome product called Neat Receipts – it is basically a scanner and software that allows you to scan receipts of any size into your computer.  Not only does it scan them, but it logs them for you and pulls out all applicable information.  You can read my review of Neat Receipts and decide for yourself, but trust me when I tell you that it is a huge lifesaver for me!

Would you like to get organized in the New Year?  I have a Neat Receipts to give away to one lucky Chic Shopper Chick reader!  To enter, leave a comment here sharing your New Years Resolution.  Extra entries are available for stumbling Chic Shopper Chick and then leaving me your stumble name, following me on Twitter, and blogging about this and linking back to this post! Good luck!

US entries only, winner will be chosen via random.org at the end of the contest. Winners are posted here, please leave a valid email address or blog address if you’d like to be contacted should you win. Winner has 72 hours to claim their prize. This contest ends at 11:59 pm CST on January 14th, 2009.

My Little Pony RC Scootaloo (A Giveaway!)

I grew up with a father who loved cars — working on them, driving them, even watching them race around a track.  I suppose it was inevitable that I would develop a love of things that “go”, but as a girl, it was oftentimes hard to find toys that would do so and ones that were simultaneously “girly” enough.  When I saw the My Little Pony Scootaloo RC On The Go (included in my 2008 Holiday Gift Guide for Kids) I immediately started gushing about how I would have loved to have something like that when I was a little girl.  Little AG will have her turn with the RC Scootaloo this Christmas, and thanks to Hasbro, your little girl will have her turn too!

Hasbro Toys has generously offered one lucky Chic Shopper Chick reader the chance to win a RC Scootaloo on the Go of their very own, or to give as a gift!  To enter, follow the easy-peasy rules below!

Smart-e-Bear makes me Smil-e! (A giveaway!)

When Little AG was little we had one of those stuffed animals that responded when you pushed on its paws, etc.  It was cool for our purposes at the time (to stop the screaming and crying) but as she got older she quickly lost interest because it was very limited in the activities it could do and songs it sang.  We all got sick of the ABC’s.  My other complaint was that it was very hard because of the battery pack and operating mechanisms, which isn’t the best for a toddler or baby.  That toy got a new home a while back, but we recently had the opportunity to review the Smart-e-Bear (ok, we actually have the Smart-e-Dog) which is similar in style to the aforementioned toy, but way cooler for older kids.

First of all, when we took it out of the box I was all but doing a happy dance at how soft our Smart-e-Dog was!  No hard battery packs, and I actually had to squeeze the thing a few times to really understand it.  I couldn’t believe the level of interaction that our Smart-E-Dog was capable of all the while still being so very squishy.  Little AG immediately took it in her arms and fell onto the ground to give it a big Bear (Dog?) hug and started barking at him (yes, we just make animal noises in our house).  Then, she discovered he could actually “play” with her.  We played a few rounds of Simon Says, right out of the box, before we were able to even attempt to personalize it any further.  Yes, you read that right — you can personalize your Smart-e-Bear to fit your child.  That means, if you are all IF I HEAR ONE MORE ROUND OF ABCs I MIGHT JUST JUMP OUT THE WINDOW like I was then you can simply CHANGE it and add something different!  Do you hear angels singing?  I know I did.

Our Smart-E-Dog came with his very own USB cable so that we could plug him into our computer to personalize him.  I kinda felt like I was setting up a really, really puffy iPod.  We did have to register and download the software, but it was free, and very very simple (read: easy to do at 2 am Christmas morning!).  Now our Smart-E-Dog actually says Little AG’s name, which she basically thinks is hilarious.  Every time he says it, she looks at us like “Did you hear this guy?  He totally just said my name!”  We like that.  The Smart-E-Bear software works kinda like iTunes — there are lots of great options.  However, some options come with the bear, others you can purchase for 99 cents – which really is a steal in my opinion — because it means that it will be quite a while before Little AG outgrows this guy.  In some ways, the toy can always be  new!

Oh, and did I mention that the Smart-E-Dog will work with headphones?  Yes, so even if you are sick of playing Simon Says, you won’t be tempted to hide him under a bed somewhere.  I’m also thinking that this little guy will be great for longer car rides and flights.  You can try out the Smart-e-Bear, Smart-e-Dog, or Smart-e-Cat online before you buy to see what you think, and I have to tell you that it’s identical to what our dog does, so it will really give you a good feel for what you’re getting yourself into.  The perfect Christmas Gift for anyone ages 2-6 on your list! Oh, and I forgot the BIG plus for us — he will be able to speak French very soon — great for Little AG who is learning both English and French.

You can buy these awesome little guys on Amazon — the Smart-e-Dog is currently $81.43, the Smart-e-Cat is currently $73.81, but best of all, the original Smart-e-Bear is majorly on sale for $43.99!  I know it can seem pricey, but I really think that the longevity of this toy will impress you, and you will definitely get your money’s worth.  I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Would you like to win a Smart-e-Bear, Smart-e-Dog, or Smart-e-Cat for a kiddo in your life?  Follow the easy-peasy instructions below and they just might find one under the tree!

I’m a Mac!

I’d like to applaud Microsoft for their great effort with their new “I’m a PC” commercials. Some of them are great, and I like watching them. I’ve read that sales and searches for new PCs have even increased slightly. However, I am a Mac girl, through and through. I switched to a Mac a little over 3 years ago and at first I hated it because it was so different from what I was used to. After a month I realized it was just breaking bad habits, and that everything on a Mac was actually easier for me to access and understand. I’ve been a Mac girl since that moment, and I can honestly say I’ll never switch back to a PC.

At one point my Mac did have some serious issues — I had my optical drive and logic board replaced twice. However, when it works, it works. There are no issues with the computer freezing, no programs (except for the Microsoft ones!) ever encounter fatal errors and “have to close”, and there is no such thing as Ctrl Alt Del (that command doesn’t even work on a Mac!) However, Apple took care of me, and when my computer wasn’t functioning properly, they sent me a new MacBook on them. What other company do you know that has that kind of customer service?

So, that is why hubby and I (he’s also now a convert!) cracked up laughing when we saw this commercial today. Great response to all the new “I’m a PC” ads. Way to go Apple! You will laugh too, even if you are a PC!

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjo629JpTyE&hl=en&fs=1]

So tell me, what are you? Are you a Mac? Or are you a PC?

Join the Qlubb!

Are you the super organized type? Or, are you more like me, the super great at wanting to be organized type? Well, no matter your “type”, Qlubb can help you! Thanks to Mom Central I’ve discovered that Qlubb is the go-to website for staying organized. Qlubb can help you organize homeroom parent meetings, playgroups, fundraising committees, faith based groups, etc with ease!

Qlubb.com is a web-based service that helps to organize your real-life groups online, providing all of the functions needed to easily and activey participate within a group. I know this would be a fabulous way to organize our weekly playgroup — right now one of us sends out an email with an activity suggestion and time, and the rest of us respond to the whole group with if our preferences and if we can make it (which amounts to a lot of back and forth emailing). Qlubb.com allows you to connect, plan meetings, assign responsibilities and share pictures (what a great feature for our playgroup!) with all of the members of your group at once. Features include an event calendar, sign-up sheets, member rosters, a task reminder service, and bulletin boards, which every member of your group can access and update from their home computers.

I know I’ll be using Qlubb to help with our weekly playgroup. What could you use Qlubb for?
