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!

Nina’s Favorite Website of the Week- www.eventbrite.com

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

I love event planning! As part of my small business and social commitee duties for my building I plan meetings and events. I wanted a website that I could create an easy URL that folks could remember off the flyers in my elevators for our building social events (not some random numbers/ letters that no one could ever recall). I found this website recently called www.eventbrite.com.  Unlike evite on this website you get a URL that is personalized, sell tickets for your event (if you want), and upload all the important event information/pictures for your guest. It’s pretty simple to use as you just put in all the important information for your event and what type of URL address you want. As a user you also can create a color scheme, post to various social medias, create headers and footers, and truly personalize it to your event. Below is a Mock up event I created for you all to see how easy and simple it is to use plus the URL to check out my fake event :-) http://cutegeek.eventbrite.com/

eventbrite

It’s the best way to have a short time URL for your event and/ or sell tickets to your events. So everyone check out my simple mock up and let me know what you think!

I got a PSP; Now I Can Play Rock Band Anywhere I go!

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

rockband game and pspI finally got a PSP (our friend gave us one) and Rockband Unplugged for it courtesy of the friendly folks at Harmonix and MTV. After E3 playing Rockband Unplugged on PSP I realized it was a must have for me!  For several reasons, first I hate flying with a passion and I believe this is a great distraction for anyone like me or those who travel allot and are bored on a plane.

I am the type that needs to have a few glasses of wine and take 2 Dramamine just to get through security, board the plane and prepare for take off.  Once my husband put me on the smallest plane (2 propeller plane) known to man in a thunderstorm from Seattle to Utah…I was convinced he was trying to kill me by a plane crash (not to mention ironically my life insurance was up’d).  Something to be said when even the flight attendants were white as a ghost and no drink service. ”CRAP,” I thought…I don’t even get a glass of wine before I die!

Innex Skins! A Nina CUTEGEEK fan GIVE AWAY!!

Monday, July 27th, 2009

skinHello Cutegeek FANS; its rare I get this opportunity but I got some cool skins that frankly will not match with any of my technical devices!  Sorry I am not an iPhone chick nor do I own an Xbox (bummer I know but one does has to stop after having a PSP and PS3; though after E3 I have considered getting a Wii)! 

I talk on the phone way to much so dealing with an iPhone that is anything BUT a phone would piss me off (trust me I tested it out)! I love my iPod shuffle but I need a reliable phone considering I live IN the city and frankly you never know what you may run into while on a random outing. Story of my life recently!

So I have these very vibrant colored skins for an Xbox and for an iPhone.  Whomever replies the quickest that is a TRUE cutegeek fan (prove it to me honey) plus has a funny remark shall get these skins (granted you live in the USA because heck I am not rich and I will be shipping it to you)!

This shall be a true test of who is Nina cutegeek fan! LOL. Game on cutegeekers!

Note: The iphone skin is the exact design!

Innex shares success with KIDS IN NEED!!

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I love doing charity!  Personally it is one of the most rewarding things to help someone in need!  Unfortunately I tend to just want to help just about everything including abandoned dogs (or dogs wondering around with no owner) but that’s another tale all on its own (I am no longer allowed to work at dog shelters since I want to take every dog home)! 

So this AM I get this press release; nothing like I have seen before (we launched in March so I am sure this isn’t the first charity initiative) and I just had to post it! So here is the press release exactly like I received in my inbox!!

“Videogame Distributor Donates Percentage to Kids in Need Foundation , Helping
Provide Free School Supplies to Impoverished Children”
 
“City of Industry, CA (July, 2009) – Innex, a major distributor of videogame peripherals and accessories, today announced that it has signed a cause marketing license agreement with the KIDS IN NEED FOUNDATION. Marathon Projects Ltd, the licensing agency for the Kids In Need Foundation negotiated the transaction. This will be the latest partnership agreement under the Kids In Need Foundation cause licensing program.”

“Believing that the meaning of success is the ability to help others, Innex, Inc. has announced that it will donate a percentage of its sales revenue to the KIDS IN NEED FOUNDATION, a charity that provides free school supplies to impoverished children. Moving forward, Innexwill allocate a portion of all revenue, including sales of its exclusive brands (Komodo, Retro-Bit, Exo-Flex) to KIDS IN NEED.” (more…)

MTV Games and Harmonix Unveil Next 15 Songs Featured In The Beatles™: Rock Band™

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Yippee skippy!  I cannot wait till September to get the Beatles Rockband!!!  Always been a huge fan even though I am an 80’s baby, my parents played music from the 50’s and on since I was a child!  Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is clearly one of my favorite Beatles albums (it helped my parents had the CD)! I recall I use to listen to that CD nightly in high school (unlike everyone else in HS listening to pop rock, no offense I am just an old schooler)!  Till this day I swear I sometimes I start my morning with…

“Woke up, fell out of bed, Dragged a comb across my head. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, And looking up I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my hat. Made the bus in seconds flat.” (Beatles Song: A Day In The Life)…and yes I literally sing this with a lil’ dance! I should have a reality show since I am such a dork! I swear I have been meaning to do a youtube of this reenactment! BUT I am hoping one day this song will be available for Rockband!

 So yesterday I got a list of more songs for Beatles Rockband!  (more…)

My IPod Shuffle is Nina certified!

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

shuffleI was born a klutz, in fact it’s rare that I will not have a bruise on me…I run into door frames frequently.  Also as I am getting older I have developed shaky hands which has been the demise of many of my tech gadgets.  If they only could build a cell phone that once you dropped it; it would bounce back up like a basket ball! Man I should patent that idea!

To be honest I can break anything and I have no idea how it happens! Somewhat like when my dog plays with bugs and then kills them and wonders why they won’t play with her, kinda the way I feel about my gadgets. Once I was vacuuming and I ran over my husband mouse (not a real mouse, computer mouse) cord and the vacuum tore it in half!  I was so distraught!

Cut to me and my pink IPod shuffle (yes I know we all say that we don’t need to have pink products but my favorite color is pink in honor of my grandmother).  My shuffle is used about 4-5 hours a day since I live in the city and walk every where.  Seriously you don’t want me driving since I am a hot mess behind the wheel (I never took the driving portion of drivers ed.).  And yeah I know its not the newest one but frankly I still love it!  (more…)
