Yesterday I spilled coffee all over my company-issued MacBook Pro AND on my personal iPhone 4! The iPhone survived (mostly on the screen sans the home button anyway) but the MacBook did not.

I’m a bit relieved that it was not my personal MBP, but still I feel guilty since the AppleCare warranty will not cover this…

I want one of these.

I never really wanted to use a case for my iPhone 4; I was compelled to get one not because of the media-sensationalized “Antennagate” (a.k.a., the “Death Grip”) but because of so many reports of the *back* of the phone easily breaking.

At first I got one of the MiniSuit iPhone case, which gets the job done, but makes the phone thick!  I ended up getting a Bumper (for free, of course) and just applying the BestSkinsEver back protective cover.

Both cameras aren’t getting that much action lately, so instead of gathering dusts, I might as well sell them to GET MOAR CAMERAS LOL.

I took delivery of a brand new Herman Miller Caper XR.  So, what do I think of it so far?  Well, one thing’s certain: it forces me sit properly; no slouching or it hurts my back because unlike the seat which is made of mesh material, the back is hard plastic that contours to the sitter’s back.  It will take a bit of getting used to.

New Facebook virus…YAY!  This, my dear 3 readers, is one of the many reasons why I’m NEVER going to have a Facebook account.  EVER.

My new iPad is still awesome.  iPhone OS 4 out this summer!  It’s a bit a of letdown not to support multitasking in 3G…the rest of the new features are good enough to want a new iPhone…(yeah, right)

Still struggling with Hackint0sh, Bluetooth, and the new Magic Mouse.  The Targus BT + MM wakes from forced sleep but NOT from idle sleep.  In fact, sometimes you lose BT unless you remove then reattach the dongle; sometimes the machine won’t wake up at all, forcing you to reboot.  ANNOYING…but not enough to give up Magic Mouse where I got accustomed to already.  I’ve been following this thread and one poster (deviantosx) suggests to DISABLE wake from Bluetooth and just wake up by pressing the Power button if you’re using the Bluetooth keyboard…or if you’re still using a USB keyboard, you can still wake up by pressing a key.  Kind of half-baked for now…but at least Bluetooth doesn’t die…yet.

When I needed a ceiling fan for our family room about 7 years ago, I was all set to buy whatever brand Home Depot had…but when I visited a friend’s house with their newly-installed ceiling fan, I just realized then that not all ceiling fans are created equal.

The ceiling fan was beautiful, moves air efficiently…and very quiet.  The brand?  It was a Casablanca.  I almost had a heart attack when I found out the price then (around $400)…but I was told that it’s all worth every penny.

Well, 7 years later: I still have that Casablanca Panama on our family room with nary a problem.  I was so happy with it that I had installed 3 more: one for my home office, one for the master bedroom, and one for my daughter’s bedroom (all Panamas)…I am planning to have the same fans installed for our 2 remaining bedrooms.
