I’m sorry, I had to. That song is too damn catchy for its own good (but you already know that). I’m not getting a new iPhone 5 just yet, but I am in the market for a fresh look for fall and winter. Really feeling the leather backed one, lower right.
I haven’t had a land line since 2003, so saying I depend on my cell phone is an understatement. It’s my only line of contact. But here’s something you iPhone-users can relate to, after an extended conversation those bad boys get HOT. They’re also really awkward to hold when you’re trying to do other things at the same time.
Enter the Curve BT iDock. Just plug your iPhone into the base, connect via Bluetooth, then roam freely within a 30 foot radius. It’s super sleek in either black or white and goes with just about any decor. It even charges your phone at the same time. And I have to admit, it’s made my business calls much more enjoyable and less sweaty-eared.

It’s well known that my thumbs have a bit of a blackish hue to them. I can give sustained life to notoriously difficult things like African violets and orchids, but also have a knack for growing massive tomato plants than bear no fruit and kill succulents with a sideways glance. Maybe Click and Grow is the answer to my problems, because it doesn’t get much easier than growing plants without watering or fertilizer. Nope, that’s not a typo. You just pop in some batteries, fill up the water tank, and do nothing. Sounds like my kind of gardening! Choose from several varieties of herbs, vegetables, and flowers.
Lately I’ve been eying turntables, one of which I haven’t owned since I was 12. (It was part of my all white stereo!) Some music just sounds better on vinyl, especially the songs of my childhood. (I remember buying 9″ records with my mom. At K-Mart!) I came across the Barky Turntable the other day and thought, “Yeah, now that’s a looker.” Wonder how it sounds?
Currently I find myself with the latest iPhone, which never happens and likely won’t last much longer. I’m always at least a generation behind, normally two. But I digress. I would have thought by this stage of the game and all the technological improvements that have been made, that battery life wouldn’t be as sad and short as it is. Within the first week of owning my 4S I was already noticing a decline in the charge life.
For the past few weeks I’ve been using the white mophie juice pack plus. I’d seen battery extenders and attachments around the web, but never bit. mophie contacted me about trying one of theirs after seeing me complain about my phone’s battery life (or lack of) on Twitter, and because I liked their clean design I said sure. Basically the juice pack plus acts as a regular ol’ phone case until your battery starts to die, then with the flip of a switch you add several more hours of texting and tweeting and Instagraming to your near future. It’s that simple. When you plug it in to charge, your phone gets juiced up as well (which I just learned.) It adds a little length and depth to your device to accommodate the battery pack, but I hardly noticed it. So the jury’s in, if you use your phone a lot and hate making time in the middle of your day to charge it the mophie juice pack plus is probably for you.

This tiny camera is amazing! The Fuuvi Bee shoots stills as well as video and is smaller than my phone. There’s even a microphone and tripod screw. Want, want, want. You can pick up your own right here.
