Dear Santa. a change of plans I purchased the Vado HD

Dear Santa, I have a late change in a previous request. The good news is it is a cancellation, I no longer want the The Flip Mino HD . I actually decided on a Vado HD and decided to get it myself for our family Christmas ski trip.

It was a tough decision, the Vado was just recently released and clearly has superior features to The Flip Mino HD . However the video quality is said to be just a close second in quality. You can view the Vado HD's output at vimeo.com, do a search on "Vado HD".

After much debate I decided on the Vado HD for a few specific reasons.
1. The rechargeable battery is removable, the flip is not
2. The Vado HD has a recording capacity of 4 hours versus the Flip's 2 hours in HD format.
3. The Vado HD is rated superior for indoor recording by PC Mag

I am looking forward to playing with my new pocket cam and sharing the footage. It will be posted to vimeo.com and embedded here.

Dear Santa, I have totally flipped for The Flip

Zoom Zoom

I fell in love with the RX-8 two years ago when I spent some time behind the wheel. I have not had as much fun driving anything since. More so than any vehicle I know the RX-8 desires you to push the tach to the redline, this a car for the seasoned driver. Now that I have a new life perhaps it is time to Zoom Zoom. Dear Santa, I checked the dealers within 75 miles and they don't have what I want, "Brilliant Black Clearcoat", however I am willing too pick up in the Pallisades.

Ohm, my my!

Kenneth Cole Distressed Lambskin

The chill of fall is in the air and I need someone, I meant that I need a new jacket to keep me warm. So I found this Kenneth Cole Distressed Leather Lambskin Jacket which may be perfect. I won’t have that new jacket look but I will have the feeling of a new jacket. Unless you are reading this now and will know it is new regardless. Oh the pressure!

Dear Santa, please feel free to contact me for the proper size; I don’t want to be presumptuous and simply post it. Also would it be possible to have it by this Friday?

NBC Heroes - I am such a Geek

I am such a geek, especially on Monday evenings when my favorite show is broadcast on NBC. Not since Captain Picard was in command of the Star Ship Enterprise have I been so infatuated with a science fiction television series.

The third season of Heroes, entitled "Villains" launched approximately three weeks ago to much fanfare and a pre-show celebration; after all this show has proven to be a cash cow for the network. Each week I am delighted by the plot development and character reveal. I even watch the rerun each following Tuesday online at http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/ . I have yet to delve into the entire online world of Heroes Evolutions, but time will tell.

My desire to purchase the newest release of each DVD faded away about two years ago with the introduction of Blue Ray. I was no longer compelled to purchase the most recent Tuesday release of every film; I was no longer deluded into believing in the DVD's worth. However, I find myself wanting Seasons One and Two of Heroes. So just in case you had a desire to purchase this geek a gift you could not go wrong with a Box Set.

Dear Santa,

I am in lust with the Spyder can-am, it now tops my wish list. It can best be described as a three wheel motocycle from Bombardier Recreational Products.

Aluminum never looked so Sexy

I am in love with the MacBook Pro 17 inch, 2.5GHz. Unfortunately I can't justify the expense in today's economy. I feel the need to hold onto every available ducat until the election is over.

President Bush, with his 16% approval rating, has finally awaken from his stupor. I have no faith in an economic bailout package that is created on his watch. Big business has run amok under his administration and fleeced America. Now the houses of cards are tumbling. His economic policies are directly correlated with the Wall Street fiasco. Blaming the sub prime mortgage market is simply smoke and mirrors and a means of placing fault upon the American public.

Should we be fortunate enough to elect Barack Obama I am celebrating buy purchasing this aluminum beauty on inauguration day.

Is Pot Becoming More Addictive?

Marijuana potency increased last year to the highest level in more than 30 years. The analysis from the University of Mississippi's Potency Monitoring Project tracked the average amount of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, in samples seized by law enforcement agencies from 1975 through 2007. It found that the average amount of THC reached 9.6% in 2007, compared with 8.75% the previous year. The 9.6% level represents more than a doubling of marijuana potency since 1983, when it averaged just under 4%.

My Scent - Prada Amber Pour Homme

Prada's Amber Pour Homme was a gift my mother purchased in Italy while vacationing in 2006. I suppose I would consider it my signature fragrance.
