Wanted: Assistant Wire Manager

I need a professional assistant wire manager. The job is simple: manage wires well. The candidates for this job must possess a great ability to rein in wires around the residential and office areas. A pleasing appearance is an advantage.

Anyone who has taken interest to read my previous posts here would know that I hate wires. That want-ad I typed above is for real. But I'm not looking for a real person to do it. I'm looking for an object to tidy up the wires that circumnavigate my digital spaces.


Yesterday, I finally "hired" someone, or should I say something, to do the job. It's a little plastic wire manager the size of a short book marker. Once it has neatly coiled and clipped the wires, its tip goes to a slit opening that creates an effect of a cat sticking out its tongue. It's cute and does the job in its own small way. This little helper costs P99 only and is available in other animal characters such as puppies, cow, moose and pig. :)

Cat speaker

Last night as I hurried back home, I chanced upon a store called DigiBabe at SM Cyberzone. Being a true geek-in-pink at heart I instantly decided to quickly browse the store.

The store is a tech lifestyle one catering to the female crowd.



There are hardly any hardware (pun intended) around because they fill their shelves with cute peripherals like this speaker cat. I love it. It goes by the brand name Cooler, a sound blasting MP3/computer speaker that only costs P395. It charges by USB. Ain't it cute? It sounds pretty good, too, for a speaker smaller than a new born kitten. :)

There are other models available. They have mummy, cyclops, Batman, skully, Friday the 13th, etc. I think they make perfect Christmas gifts or give-aways.

On my watch list!

What's the time? It's time for a new watch!! He he he.

Most women are shoes and bags addicts. Cosmetics and perfumeries, too. I'm not. It's watches that I like. It's my dream to one day attend any of the two most important watch fairs in the world, the Baselworld and The Salon International de la Haute Horlegerie in Switzerland, the bastion of timepieces.

My three-year old Philip Stein kept me satisfied enough not to want another one until I flipped through an old catalog and found this:



Ain't it pretty? :)

This Georg Jensen Vivianna large open bangle steel watch is making me drool at the moment. Aside from it's sheer elegance and sexiness, it makes me drool because my jaw dropped when I saw the price online. It costs Euro1180.00 (exclusive of VAT).

The face of the watch is a mirror and features sapphire crystals. Is that why it's so expensive? It was designed in 1969. Is timeless design expensive? Watches priced like this really makes you realize that time is precious. As in Georg Jensen precious.
