Nee How

I am making my first trip to China on Monday. I will try to update the blog everyday while I'm there. I'm also considering setting up a flickr account. Stay tuned

Bright Idea

I would love to meet the dim wit person who came up the current concept for lightbulb packaging. I would punch that person in the mouth....

Last night I went to Home Depot and purchased among other things, a 6 pack of lightbulbs. As I walked toward the checkout counter the bulbs slid out of the packing and shattered onto the floor. The cashier just stood there and shook her head.

Why isn't there some strip of carboard or something there to prevent such a disaster? I'm not talking action figure style packaging, but a little more protection for something so fragile....

Apartment Therapy

This is a pretty great idea for keeping your floors dry in the winter . I hate walking around the house in my socks just to step in a sludge puddle and get them wet.



It's just a tray with some decorative rocks. Your shoes drip dry and the water drains to the bottom of the tray.

I wish I knew


I wish I knew what draws me to this shoe. I don't think I would ever wear it, but it is strangely beautiful in its simplicity.

Samsung Triumph

It's been awhile since I've posted, but I think this is very worthy of the comeback.

I recently purchased a sweet Samsung 40" lcd TV, the ln40a550 to be exact. I got a great deal on it from Amazon for $929 shipped with white glove delivery. 

The first thing I wantedto do was hook it up to my Sony Laptop so I could stream movies from my hard drive.

I followed the instruction in the samsung owners manual to the letter, but the television didn't recognize the PC source.

After reading many posts in multiple forums on this problem I thought i was doomed. This seems to be a specific problem with linking Sony laptops with Samsung TVs.

I messed around with the computer's settings for about 2 hours and finally stumbled on the solution.

FN F7, that's all it is, hold down the function key, and hit the F7 key a couple of times until the monitor icon is highlighted. Then go back to the televison The PC source should now be available for use. Voila! PC on your TV.

I hope this saves someone a ton of time down the road.
