The new iPod Nano has everyone excited, but the down side is that it doesn’t come in the beloved pink. If you can’t part with the color this i.Beat p!nk is a nice alternative and even if you just like the look of the i.Beat, it also comes in black.

Genius Scientists create a smart bra

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Well meaning scientists decided to create a smart bra. This bra was fastened to a few women who were size D cup or above to see where the strain and discomfort was. They used a special ‘revolutionary’ fabric containing sensors.

smart bra to detect bounce

Just so everyone is up to speed here, they made a big expensive bra to find out what millions of women could have told them. Sometimes scientists just need to learn a few social skills. They discovered that the straps cause discomfort on the shoulders, due to thin straps holding too much strain and could cause numbness, tingling and longterm damage. Here is a real revolutionary discovery, women with larger breasts bounce when walking 4 to 6 mph. I know I was shocked by that find, to think all that time I thought they stayed perfectly still. In all fairness they found a measurement of how much they bounce which is as much as 1-2 inches.

Hopefully from all this research and hi-tech equipment they can help solve the issue of that strain. If they could also work on a bra that not only makes it comfortable but can look great under that little black dress then I’m sure we could all overlook how much money they spent to create this smart bra. I’m glad we can live in a world where they can create such fancy devices to tell us what we already know.

The Simplistically Chic Felt Laptop Sleeve

Monday, December 10th, 2007

If you like simplicity with your gadgets this cute sleeve is just the thing to keep your laptop protected from the elements. Just using wool felt and a wide elastic loop, it is probably the most simple sleeve to make.

Honestly, I expected this to come from Etsy and was equally surprised when I saw the price. I would think with supplies anyone could pick up from the local craft store it would at the very least be below fifty bucks.

However, each bag is being sold for $65-$75 just depending on the size. It is available to fit 13”, 15” or 17” and comes in light green, hot pink, orange and olive. It still isn’t a bad price and it would be great for any woman who needs her laptop for school and work since it could easily switch between your bookbag and briefcase.
