The litl webbook is a very unique little computer. It’s about the size of a netbook, but it is half the trouble. I’ll admit that I’m not one that wants to use a computer that doesn’t do much, but I was intrigued by the litl. I first saw it at an SV Moms Chevy event [...]
Sometimes I receive quite a few items for review. I admit, if it is something really exciting that I can’t wait to rip open, I jump right in there and play with it. Other times, even though I would love the item, it sits for a while because I just don’t have the room for [...]

I love to shop, ESPECIALLY for new gadgets and I love getting my kids the coolest new “______” (insert toy of the moment here). I also love to pass on great finds. And strangely enough, somewhere there is an unspoken rule that all my friends and family looking to buy new cameras, computers, netbooks, cell [...]

I just got a cute new Acer Aspire One Netbook. My friend, Ronni, got one also. I got pink and she got black. Just by accident our packages arrived at our jobs at almost the same exact time, so we sat on the phone and opened them together. We both sounded like we just had [...]
