New chick on the block

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Hi everyone!

My name is Daron and I’m new in town, so I wanted to introduce myself and tell you some of the things you can expect from my posts.

Like Radiris, I’m a 2007 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University. I studied Chemical & Biomedical engineering with a little of this and a little of that in between. I grew up in Philly and now live with my 2 cats (altho I’m MUCH more a dog person!) outside of the city, with part-time weekend residence in NYC. I am just making the transition from engineer to project manager in the medical device industry…so you cant actually buy any of the products I have helped design, but if you ever find yourself on an operating table? They are the best! (more…)

Web Wednesday: Rent the Runway

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I admit, I heard about this site before from the amazing blogger of NOTCOT, but I was shocked when a lot of my friends had no idea what it was.

If you’re a budget conscious fashionista – here is how to get your fix of some of the latest and hottest couture dresses for a fraction of the cost.

Favorite Website of the Week: CreditKarma.com

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Living the advertised life comes with a high price in the US. We see nice things & we want nice things. We get nice things & then we want more nice things. Many of us live within our means, but too many of us don’t know what that means.

CreditKarma.com is here to help – not to make you change your style of living or anything, but to help you keep track of your credit score and finances. There are many tools to help you accordingly plan your financial goals through calculators, credit simulators and also special offers from credit cards.

I visit this site at least on a monthly basis to find out how my ’score’ is doing.

Although it is a weighted average of your score, and while the site does not require the extensive background check that other websites may ask of you, I guarantee it. There is nothing to lose and a piece of mind and an improved credit score to gain.

We Did It!!! Woohoo!!! Women Are Almost Over Half the Workforce!!!

Monday, January 18th, 2010

According to The Economist – “Women are gradually taking over the workplace…Coping with this quiet revolution will be one of the great challenges in coming years…”

Congratulations to all the women, and all of their supporting partners/families/friends who motivate/support them to continue striving for more despite it typically being the road less traveled!

I’ll end this with one of my favorite songs “Anything you can do I can do better; I can do anything better than you…” (Annie Get Your Gun)…Don’t forget it and don’t underestimate us. (more…)

Favorite Website of the Week: ShopItToMe.com – Your Own (Virtual) Personal Shopper

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Many of us have multiple email addresses – one we use to sign up for random stuff we really have no interest in, one we use for our resume, an AOL or Hotmail one from the 90’s and then there’s the one we actually like looking at – on a daily basis.

welcome.us

ShopItToMe.com is a website that allows you to pick the brands you like (they have top brands), the items you’re interested in, a specific sex, the price range & the frequency of the notifications.

CES 2010: Canon – Making Life Better One Shot At A Time…

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

I should make them pay me for saying that – that would be a perfect slogan for them!

I have been an avid fan of Canon’s for quite some time now. I love them so much that last August I attempted to buy ‘the cutest’ camera on the market (which was not Canon) and ended up ignoring it because of how unsatisfied I was. In less than 1 month I purchased two digital cameras and I love my PowerShot SD780 IS more than anything in my bag of wonderful gadgets.

Its shots and videos are breathtaking. They capture more greatness than you think.

I will be posting many pictures and information regarding new products that I saw at both conventions.

Stay tuned!

Review: The Motorola Endeavor HX1

Monday, January 11th, 2010

HX1_Gray_r3qtrMotorola recently sent me a sample of the Motorola Endeavor HX1 bluetooth headset to test out. I have never been one of “those” people that walk around all day with their bluetooth in their ears regardless if they are on the phone or not.  I secretly believe these people either think they are (A) important or (B) cool.  Let me just inform you that if you are indeed that person you are neither.

UNLESS you have a Motorola Endeavor HX1 that is.

That’s right I have now become that annoying person in the line at the grocery store or that person eating alone but chatting on the phone with her little headset in. I do however take it off when I am not on the phone.  I may be a tech geek but I do draw the line when it comes to fashion.
