I’ve been reading the buzz about Wii Fit which is set to be released in the US in early 2008. (It is already popular in Japan.) This looks cool. It comes with a wireless balance board that you stand on while doing exercises like yoga and aerobics. The board works by [...]
Oh boy, I knew this was coming. Time to unwrap the workout dvd given to me for Christmas. Time for damage control…
This is officially my favorite Christmas gift. It is a gift from my parents. My mom shares my enthusiasm for kitchen gadgets so when I suggested an electric tea kettle for Christmas, I knew that I would not be disappointed. Warm drinks are a necessity in my home for driving away wintertime [...]
This is sad. A mom in Texas helped her six year old daughter write an essay for a contest that would eventually win them tickets and airfare to a sold-out Hannah Montana concert in New York. The girl’s essay began with “my daddy died this year in Iraq.” It turns out the [...]
