Ice Skating in NYC!

Sat, 24 Nov 2007 16:06:08 GMT

It's getting do damn cold to jog outside, and the gym is too boring.
That is why i love ice skating!
Unless you are fortunate to have a frozen lake where you can practice on, it's hard to find a crowdless ring.

I found my solution last night, The Pond in Bryant Park, NYC. It's open until midnight on the weekend, and it's free! Although the place can get packed during the day (anyone said free... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

You by Crocs

Sat, 24 Nov 2007 15:17:43 GMT

You either love them or hate them, there is no in-between when it comes to Crocs.

I think the company is very aware of how controversial their comfort design can be, and came up with a more 'trying to look better yet stay comfortable' look.

The You by Crocs offers boots in leather, patent leather, or suede. They also have flats & wedges in metallic colors.

I think they haven't solved the... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Last Wednesday’s night winner Victoriya designed a dress that will join SJP's Bitten collection at Steve & Barry’s stores.

The challenge was to create a casual sportswear piece, the winning designed wi... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Honey I'm Home

Sun, 11 Nov 2007 05:19:28 GMT

Jerry Seinfeld did it again, what a great comeback!

I was skeptical at first, as a sworn Pixar fan the DreamWorks humor/design just doesn't cut it. But i must say i was really surprised!

Seinfeld's humor was all over the screen-play, and after many reruns of the old show it was really refreshing. Although the plot was kid-friendly it was really down to earth and held a 'green' message for t... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Radiohead – In Rainbows

Mon, 08 Oct 2007 20:16:25 GMT

Are those Brits so rich they don’t care for money anymore? Or maybe it is the Wiki effect that trusts the good in people?

Whatever it is, Radiohead finished working on their new album and will release it online in 3days. Usually we would expect a well oiled marketing campaign that will remind us in some witty way when we can purchase their next hit, or at least stand in line for it.

H&M Innovates Shopping with Semacode

Mon, 17 Sep 2007 04:39:52 GMT

I'm writing this post while trying to decide if it belongs under Tech or maybe Fashion. H&M has created a new way for you to shop. Using a semacode (a barcode chip that can be scanned with a cellphone to recieve information) in their print ads you can now shop for anything through your cell.
Available for now in Europe, it's very simple: you see something you like in an ad, you point your camera... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Ann Taylor Introducing: Collection

Fri, 14 Sep 2007 23:59:16 GMT

It's no secret reatailers are fighting over every dollar we spend. The struggle was so tough that Gap had a big question mark hanging above it for a while, and big retailer stores contracted designers to offer a cheaper line that will keep the shoppers coming.
Ann Taylor figures they will go the other way, usually offering business attire for women at a decent price, they are now going upscale. I... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Bush – Dead Certain?

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 20:31:53 GMT

This is the title to a new G.W. Bush book by Robert Draper, friend of the family. I don’t even know where to start, is it the first word of the title or the fact that it is out even before he cleared his office?

Resources say the book includes personal confessions of our president, some of which where he claims to shed more tears then he can remember over the war in Iraq.

We all know that B... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Google’s Flight Simulator – New Version for Goggles

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 02:44:29 GMT

They had it all there in advance, the maps, the hybrid view, Google Earth was up to date about it all from above. Now they are inviting us for the ride. Well, not just now, it came out about a year ago, but the new version recently released allows the user to customize their ride. Other than of course choosing the landscape (an actual real one) you can choose the type of plane and an airport.

ABC in the Fall – a lot to look forward to

Fri, 31 Aug 2007 12:24:13 GMT

There are a few ground rules once summer is over, one is ‘no white after labor day’ and the other is finally some good TV is back on!
Nobody wants any drama in the summer, it is the time for sun, beach and reality TV. But as the days get shorter we all settle into that great spot on the couch and start new addictions.
So what do we have to look forward to?

Map My Run - Track your course online

Thu, 30 Aug 2007 05:56:59 GMT

I admit it, I am addicted! What started as a personal goal is slowly turning into a new wardrobe and stop-watches. Well, I am not at the pedometer level yet (although I have been looking into it after my $5-walmart-one stopped working) but it is such a good feeling.

I was a fast walker for years, seeing those runners around me and saying to myself, jogging is just not for me… And then the new ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Crocs to launch a new clothing line

Thu, 30 Aug 2007 04:43:20 GMT

You either love them or hate them, but you sure can't ignore them.

Started at Boulder, CO, the shoes were originally made for boating and outdoors. They are light-weight and slip resistant - which helps you through those steamy summer days.
The company's latest line of footwear introduced a mix of plastic and fabric for a more convenient (someone hinted fashionable?) flip-flop.

But they ar... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Transformers: More then meets the eye!

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 05:42:03 GMT

I came in full of doubts, and pretty much because I had to, and left a fan!
A quick look at the audience revealed a combination of baby-sitter/kids and geek-squads.
The story starts with alien-mechanical-like creatures that take over plant earth. The group divides into the good guys, Autobots, lead by the mighty Optimus Prime. And the bad guys, Decepticons, lead by the evil looking Megatron. Th... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Harry Potter Rated R?

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 19:35:37 GMT

Ready or not, here they come. The teen sci-fi series, fun-reading blockbuster released another movie to its fans. Harry potter and the Order of the Phoenix made the proper adjustments for its aging audience. The new movie is filled with new effects, thrills, horror, sexuality and of course Quidditch. It was bound to happen sooner or later, Hollywood didn’t find the formula yet to keep its celebs f... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Reel New York

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 02:09:18 GMT

CT is known to be great for many things, but one of them is for how close it is (at some parts) to NYC.
Flipping through the channels the other day I came across a great show on Channel Thirteen (Yes, I know, a very geeky statement). It’s called ‘Reel New York Film Festival’. It presents independent films by New Yorkers about New Yorkers. It takes the viewers to all the places that the city has ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Put your hands in the air

Put your hands in the air and you open a can.
I remebre back in the days, my mom would buy any gadget available in the market. One was this bulky can opener that used to drop the cans splat on the counter - open or not it didn't matter to it.
Now Sharper Image came with this sleek looking, mouse-shaped, hands-free opener.
It's $25 and comes in cute colors to match your kitchen.

I get to spend a lot of time traveling because of my work. Being a nosy person i tend to look at what people read. Then i came across this perfect solution 'against' people like me: a fake book cover!
Genius!
They are called Flapart and offer a wide variety of covers: "Do-it-yourself liposuction", "Fast Track to Prison", "How to make your grandmother a porn star" for $5.99- think about it, summe... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Red Carpet Education

Sun, 04 Mar 2007 20:22:15 GMT

this was tagged as a- 'i'll wait for the DVD' kinda movie. Well, not easy to admit, but i was wrong! just saw it last night and it is still on my mind.
Not sure what i think of the casting yet, but globalization hit the red carpet! Some might say it is yet another cliche. For those i say - at least the subject is exposed in masses!
