The big day is coming for all you apple lovers out there. I just received an email that you can pre-order your iPad here and get free shipping on the iPad from the Apple Online Store OR reserve your iPad here and pick it up at your favorite Apple Retail Store. I am interested to go to the Apple store here in San Francisco and check out the iPad.
Ever had a moment when you want your friends to hear a song you have on your shuffle and oh snap you don’t have speakers with you?! Fear not my fellow music lovers! I recently got the Tune Bug Vibe and instantly fell in love with it’s sleek design! I love any technology or kitchen appliances with brushed metal and the Tunebug Vibe has a nice small brushed metal housing case.
When I unboxed the Tunebug Vibe I was pleasantly surprised; it came with a USB charging cord! NICE! I love when you can charge your devices with USB and not have to deal with AAA or AA batteries!
After I charged and plugged it into my shuffle I tried it on different surfaces around my condo (like a huge geek). I noticed that with the larger wooden surfaces the sound was much louder than my kitchen’s marble surface. I believe just like the larger speakers with the wooden casing it just sounds better acoustically on wood surfaces. Even though the Tunebug Vibe is tiny the sound boast the quality of a larger speaker. Per my picture below you can see the speaker is definitely small (yet powerful!).
I tried it with my shuffle, my HP Glisten Smart Phone, and 3 different Notebooks one of course being a Macbook. At first I had trouble with my Macbook (I am not going to lie) however after going into the sound menu on my Macbook it worked perfectly fine. If you looking for a small yet stylish speaker for your portable devices the Tunebug Vibe is made for you!

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!
While 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.
In 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…
What 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

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…)

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…)
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. (more…)
