Livescribe's Smart Pulsepen


This is a pen that EVERY student should definitely buy, or already have. The perfect pen to get yourself through High School. With endless hours of notes to complete every day, and all the lost written notes you have to re-do because you can no longer find them, Livescribe's Smart Pulsepen is the way to go in my opinion.

This pen definitely has the right, in my opinion, to be called a "smart" pen.

It has a voice recorder, and as you write the notes down on paper, it synchronizes them to the pen. Because of this, you can then transfer ALL of your notes from the pen to your computer, so you have your notes digitalized, as if you had written them no the computer in the first place.

Also, there is now an App Store for the pen which has over 30 applications, all for the pen.

This "smart" pen however goes for $169. Every student should have it... for a cheaper price. Unless you have a constant problem of losing your handwritten notes, or your teacher NEVER lets you take notes during class on your computer, then I do not think you need to spend that much money on the pen.

just be more organized!

Apple's Magic Mouse







This is definitely one of the coolest things/gadgets I have seen all year. Apple's Magic Mouse. It is Apple's new computer mouse. It is wireless and touch screen! You can scroll through pages just by scrolling your fingers on your mouse. You can do 360 turns, scroll up, down, and zoom in and zoom out. This is something definitely worth getting.

This shows you how technology is advancing more and more. Who knows if soon other computer companies will start making touch screen mouses.

Not only this, but who knows WHEN Apple will already be making another one, newer, better, and with new improved and surprising technology.

You can never stay on top of the gadget world. More and new things will always be coming out, and people, wanting to have the newest 'thing' will go buy it.

Some of these 'new things' are a complete waste of money and serve no purpose in life, however this Apple Mouse is something that I want to get myself and recommend getting.


Here is a link that explains the Magic Mouse well.

Dyson Air Multiplier




Its Summer, its really hot, and you desperately need some air. Don't have enough air conditioning in your room so the obvious choice, a fan.

Ever been tempted to put your fingers as close to the blade as possible, or been scared that someone is going to and so turn off the fan. I realized this could all be stopped when I came across the Dyson Air Multiplier. This is an awesome and modern looking fan with absolutely NO BLADES. You can still your hand right through it and nothing will happen.

The downside, it is a little pricey, going for $299.00.

Happy New Year

Happy new year everyone! 2009 is finally over and we are in 2010. A new month, year, AND a new decade. There were new year's celebrations all over the world filled with fireworks.

One of the most famous is in Time Square where hundreds of thousands of people crowd in and enjoy the coming of the new year. I was not there myself, but after watching a video of it, I realized how amazing it must be to be there.

This video is the famous New Year's Ball in Time Square, a tradition they do every year.
