Nina’s favorite website of the week: www.shapeways.com

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I received an email about trying out the www.shapeways.com website. I didn’t know what to expect as I had never heard Shapeways before. With Shapeways you can upload a 3D image you created, download their software, create it and within 10-14 business days you will receive your printed 3D product. They also have models that you can purchase as well if you don’t have a 3D image. Eventually I created a 3D cutegeek rubber stamp and an stylist with my initials (the minimum purchase is $25.00). I have yet to receive my products as I just created them but I am anxious to get them in the mail! And the best part…wait for it…free shipping!

I have been receiving continuous updates and looking forward to giving you all part deux of what I should receive.  Stay tuned cutegeekers!

Product Review: Character Flash Drives from the Bone Collection

Monday, March 8th, 2010

 IMG_2023While I was at Macworld I had a chance to check out the Bone Collection’s products and the one the that stood out the to me was the USB Flash Drives. They had many shapes/ forms made from silicon material and they sent me samples for review of the Panda Bear, Mini iPhone (yes I had a Zoolander moments with it), Dinosaur (when I was a kid I was a huge nerd about Dinosaurs), and an elephant.

 IMG_2045In my creative humor we made a video of the flash drives; see the youtube here. One has to wonder what is going on in my head half the time…

 IMG_2099What is so cool about these flash drives you may ask? Well first off the material is fool proof; as far as I know and tested the silicon material makes it durable.  Each flash drive came with 2GB of memory and also the silicon cases are removable (just in case you want to be serious). Below are the product specs and I think for any Macbook users (or an other portable PC)  this is a cute accessory.

+ Support USB 2.0 and compatible with USB1.1
+ Windows: 98/98SE, Me/2000/XP, VISTA
+ Mac: OS 9.0/ 10.0 or later
+ Linux: kernel 2.4 or later
+ No external power needed
+ LED indication for data access
+ The cover will never lose
+ Anti-dustproof
+ Washable silicone (not including flash)
+ Change the coat for flash
+ Life time warranty

Product Review: Phone Leather from the Bone Collection

Friday, March 5th, 2010

 Bone Leather

Bone Collections sent me their Phone Leather 3GS Case for the iPhone recently. Have you ever been the last person on the planet to adapt to a gadget (which is rare for me)?! Admittedly I do not have an iPhone as I prefer to click actual buttons…crazy I know but I have shaky hands and it would take my friends days to decode my texts using an iPhone. Don’t get me wrong, I think the iPhone is an AMAZING product and endorse it to everyone plus the applications are phenomenal.

Fortunately I knew someone who owned one; my great pal Mel. She invited me over to make calzones with her (yes this cutegeek can also cook); I realized this is the perfect time to test this iPhone Leather 3GS case out. She currently owns a hard case which after she took it off realized it was scratching her brand new iPhone. I opened up the box for the Phone Leather 3GS case and since it’s a simple silicon case we slipped it on in no time. (more…)

News: My Adventure on the Plastiki

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

IMG_2002

I went to the Plastiki press event in Sausalito last Friday. I was truly intrigued by their initiative to sail a boat made with recycled plastic bottles and how they would power their technology so we could track them on their journey to Sydney using  HP products.  The room was jam packed with media internationally plus local San Francisco press. Mayor Gavin Newsom walked on stage and introduced the crew lead by David de Rothschild’s vision. (more…)

Review: Taipan Sleeve for 15″ Macbooks by booq

Friday, February 26th, 2010

booq

When I had booq send me their Taipan sleeve I thought how the heck will I make this interesting…The Taipan by booq is simply a sleeve so what could I do to get our fans interested? Just descibe it and post as many pictures as possible was my easy solution. I believe sleeves are important because us ladies tend to throw our technology in our totes and purses.  I go through a notebook every 6 months to a year due to my wreckless behavior so this made me realize that I need a sleeve to keep my PC longer.

Review: CS40 Headphones

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

IMG_1923When I got the request to pick up some iFrogz Ear Pollution CS40’s at Macworld to check to them out for cutegeek; I was excited. As you may know I punctured my ear drum by a random q-tip incident a couple weeks ago therefore I am now fascinated with the iFrogz Ear Pollution CS40’s headphones. Though I love my JBL ear buds I realized it may be time to make the big switch to headphones. When I first put them on I thought to myself that these earphones feel like giant marshmallows or pillows on my ears.  I realized I look like a huge geek walking down the block but then again I am a cutegeek.  I also realized that people with headphones similar to mine give each other the eye contact high five in the city.

I decided to first try them on a plane trip out of SFO. Nothing says “do not bug me at an airport” like a set of headphones and after being on a flight with a crying baby I was lucky I got these iFrogz  Ear Pollution CS40’s headphones.  The sound almost canceled out the 2 babies in my row plus the sound quality is amazing. I have to be careful though because my ear is still ringing so even though my marsh mellow headphones have all the power to drown them out I had to keep it in the low. (more…)

My Interview with MindTouch CEO Aaron Fulkerson

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Aaron

I had the opportunity to interview the CEO of MindTouch Aaron Fulkerson via telephone.  I was intrigued with the new MindTouch Cloud software since I watched a demo at Macworld and also interested to chat with him. His bio was pretty impressive as he started his first business when he was 9!  When I first got on the phone Aaron  jokingly stated that he had a hard stop due to his hip hop class. HA HA! Though a busy CEO he still had time to check out my bio which immediately gave him cutegeek points. MindTouch is an open source alternative to Microsoft SharePoint that was created in 2005 by Aaron and business partner Steve Bjorg. As Aaron explained some of MindTouch’s clients include major companies like Microsoft, Intuit, U.S. Army, Mozilla, Intel, U.S Department of Defense, BP and Harvard (plus several more). (more…)
