When 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. Continue Reading…

By mid-day I realized I should have ate; dumn mistake and should have known that from previous E3′s and CES’s. Admittedly I was a tad grumpy however I was not ready for this. At every show as a women blogger some dude is going to either think we don’t know our products (women make up over 60% of household decision making) or they are just sexest. I ran into one of those booths that will remain un-named. It’s sad that women in technology still get treated this way.
After that bad taste in my mouth I decided I should visit a fun booth; ie Hard Candy…Surely these folks would be sweeter; I mean the word candy is in the product name! When I walked up to Hard Candy Cases I got a big smile on my face; the booth was ran by all women at the time! Their product line was bold but durable; everything a women now-a-days needs! These cases do not scratch and if they by chance do it’s an easy buff out. They also had cases for the iPad and showcased a new all rubber case for Macbooks which felt kind cool. I am looking forward to checking out Hard Candy’s Cases and how these will work with my Macbook. Continue Reading…

This year was my first year at Macworld as a cutegeek blogger and of course Apple didn’t even have a booth…however that didn’t stop the masses to attend the show. When I first told my friends I was going I got the immediate question; “Why are you going since Apple won’t be there?” Another friend sarcastically said “What is MacWorld without Apple…just World?” I had no idea what to expect after all my pals banter…What was MacWorld without Apple? And where is Mr. Job’s?
My questions were answered as soon as I walked into the masses…Software, Games, and Accessories!
