New Lights

Yeah! I finally got some new lights so I can take pictures of my Coffee Condoms inside during the winter. It has been so dark inside and so cold outside that I haven't listed anything in a while. But that has all changed now! Each light is 500 watts! I can even take pictures in the evening!

So check out my shoppe to see the new Coffee Condom. There will be more going up in the next few days.

Flash Drive

Hello! Gadget Girl here!!

I love my flash drive!



It is a 4gig Flash Voyager by corsair. I still haven't found all the great uses for it, but it does get used alot. One of the things we use it most for here is to transfer files between operating systems. We do have all the computers networked, but sometimes my Mac is hard to find. So it is quicker to just load the files to the flash drive and take them to the PC and download them. We use this mostly for movies and music and sometimes for pictures.

There are a lot less portable apps for the Mac, but I do have Portable Firefox and Portable Abiword on it. Portable Firefox has all my favourite settings and bookmarks on it, so if I am away from my computer, I can still see things as I like them! Portable AbiWord is a very good open source word processor. It is quick and doesn't take up a huge footprint. I use it for quick word processing over Neo Office which is a much bigger and more involved program.

I also have some pictures on it to show off to friends and family with computers. Then if they would like copies of the pictures, they can just copy them from the flash drive!

I am looking forward to finding more uses for my wonderful flash drive!

My Other Identity

Yes, I am otherwise known as Gadget Girl! I admit it freely! I love a good gadget and have acquired quite a few. So I thought I would use Tuesdays to share a few of my favourite gadgets with you.

Today we have a newly acquired gadget... my new Mukka!!!!



I have been wanting one of these forever!! You put water in the bottom, espresso in the middle and milk in the top. Put it on the stove and 5 minutes later you have an amazing, creamy cup of Italian style cappuccino. Yum!!! I am quite the coffee geek, so this is a wonderful addition to all my other coffee paraphernalia! I will describe some of those in future posts!!

I hope you are all having a good week! The weather has been so nice here that it has been hard to find time to sit and do any knitting. Hopefully I will get to some in the next few days.
