Evening Peeps and Peepettes,

Tonight we have a wonderful tale of mordidity and debauchery for your little red glowy eyeses…as in product reviews! That’s right big websitey people who get their stuff sent to them for free to check and test out, I can do it too…and I buy my own stuff so there…put that in your ham and roll it…

First up, I got a letter from Google master it self…Google.

Now onto the reviews…

USB Fan & Light.
This isnt too bad a little cheap USB gadget, plug it in, press the left button the fan goes on, not very loud, gives you a nice little breeze, over all niceness, press the right button, and you have a little orangey light in the base come up, not very bright but for just a little glow night light it can do the trick not too badly at all.
Rating: 5/10 Stars/Points/Ratingness Thingy Ma-Jiggery.
This little light and fan wasn’t too bad, for the price it performed well to what I expected, one little improvment could have been a less opaque base so you do not have to bear witness the ugly cheap wiring and silver box thingy in it.

USB Music Playing Light Changing Snowman.
Mr Snowman I was quite impressed by, although his stock standard colour of himself is pink *shudders* when he’s plugged in and doing his stuff he’s all man…snowman…and he’s one cool snowman at that. once plugged in he automatically starts his business shining brightly his colour and slowly moving through the colours, it’s a nice and enjoying show, not too fast and not too slow with the colour changing. He has a little button infront of him which once pressed he starts his tunes, I noticed they were indeed Christmas tunes but they weren’t the ordinary plane basic tune of them, take that as good or bad, personally I find it good, not another Christmas thingy around the house to play the exact same song, I so far noticed 3 different songs, so not just one to go on a continuous loop.
Rating: 8/10 Bats/Glow Worms/Little Green Men.
This is a great little Christmas USB gadget to set the scene and mood, at night time the nice little ambiance it creates it very well welcomed, the quality of the tunes is a little less then desirable but as a little thing every now and then to amuse you, it sure does the trick.

USB Star UFO Light Thingyo.
This little gadget was nice and fancy, not only could it run via USB power but it also was able to run on 2x AA batteries. After you pick your power choice, turn the switch on the button and get ready to watch in awe, it had a much similar effect as Mr. Snowman, minus the beats and a little sped up in the light moving, although this one is different and a more revolving colour change which is seen throughout the whole item and not just a gradial change from one colour to the next, seeable in the pictures.
Rating: 6/10 Honey Drops/Rabbit Feet/Golden Frogs.
After Mr. Snowman this gadget doesn’t seem as good as it probably would just by it self, but it is still noticable that it is quite good, although I feel the speed of the colour changing to be a little too fast as well as the strength of the colour through some of the fibre thingy to be not that great and seeable it is still quite a nice little decoration, although I still wonder about it’s base though, looks like…green rock or something…

So there you have it, 3 USB gadget product reviews…could have done better, but for a first go…erm…a first 3 times go, good eough.

Tomorrow is a day I am eagerly waiting for, weekend time, time to relax, slowly waddle about the house doing very little as possible having as much fun as possible, good times are ahead.

Tune in next time for computery stuff…would have been in here but alas I was one important picture down, so next time look forward to it.

Drifting Off,

Good Late Evening/Early Morning Interwebbers,

Computers of late is the subject of this bloggy thingy this time.

First let me set you the scene…I have one main computer which is head central all main high and mighty everything comes and goes off…it’s been slowly dying for the past 15 months or so…I FINALLY finished building its replacement…well I secondly did, my lady friend built it first…it kind of didn’t work so I had to rebuild it…but then what happens?…the motherboard in it starts playing up too much for my liking…so to eBay it went haha…

That’s the piece of month old pecan pie there…have already ordered its replacement…that there which was in it was the EVGA 680i, I bought for its replacement the EVGA 780i FTW edition…sooo pro gamery 1337 Über nerdy and all version one :D woo! hahah.

I cannot wait till it is finally all together…again…I have a XFX 9800GTX+ to throw in it to play me some tetris and such…hardcoring the tetris full max’ed up graphic settings and all…if I’m lucky.
Speaking of video cards and the such recently I have come into two new additions, so I now posses the following:
6600…it’s not a Gish :(
8300GS
8500GT
9800GT
9800GTX+
All PCI-E…I feel fancy and nerdy quite some hahaha…… =/
In the next 24 hours I will have a 9600GT OC something or other in my possession as well, but only for about 24 hours after I get it, it’s for a sellingable computer…which is sold…I just need that and then put it in and then *poof* all sold, woo! monies I getsses. In the same time frame I should be getting an older motherboard and CPU to fix this older computer I have to fix and then from that I gets monies as well mmmm.

I nearly bought myself a little Christmas present of a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device the other day, a nice little 320gb version Buffalo something or other, I thought it would have been fairly good for things that are usually on my main computer which gets shared for all computers such as utilities folder and a games patches folder and such, being on something separate from my main computer would make things a little easier I would think, along with perhaps music and such as well. Only problem was the price of it, it was on eBay of course and went just a little too high for me, while checking up on it’s specs and performance and such from review sites I though it would be cool to review things, have things sent to me for free to check out and say how it goes, what’s good what’s not and all the such, but who would send me something new and free just to hear what I have to say?…for now no one :(

I watched some of the first Youtube Live thingy today while in between being unwell…I missed the Katy Perry part, which turned out to be first so was no hope in seeing it…until the rerun of it :P but I got to see Bo! Yo! Woah!…Bo Burnham…he’s cool…Katy Perry is…ehh weird…but her Hot n Cold song is damned catchy…and for that I blame a certain someone who got me to listen to it whom I will refer to as…Mr. Xxxx…damn you Mr. Xxxx damn you *shakes fist*

Mmm sleep time I thinkses…

Phasing Out,
Your Fried Chip Set,

*whistle* Boy am I late haha…sorry, lets not waste anymore time and get right into it shall we?

Custom 2006 Chopper:

I’m not very big on motorcycles but this one looks very nice and fancy I thought…very very shiney too.

Ford Mustang:

American Muscle…what more needs to be said? Not really my type of cookie but I wouldn’t say no if they were as cheap as cookies.

Mazda MX5 2000:

Another wonderful MX5 mmm, I like the body of this one more then the 1999 model, not a heap of difference but enough so much so that I like this one more, seems more sleek and smooth.

Toyota Hilux:

I have a friend who used to have one of these with air bag suspension, only thing with it dropping so low is…well…it’s so low, it hits things and gets marked up, and because of my driveway, not possible to leave in one piece having it down so low…but going up high? now that’s a different story. I don’t care too much for the 2 colours of this car, the green isn’t too bad, and the silver is alright, but both together I think I would pass…it’s like a giant ride ‘in’ lawn mower.

Subness:

Checking to make sure everything was set and ready to go.

Sub Contestant 1 – My friend! woo!

Sub Contestant 2 – The other guy.

After all the serious business was finished we blew up two subs!

Brand New Clarion:

Around 6 Year Old Alpine Type S:

This one has a picture of it with smoking coming out because it blew up nicely…the clarion however just died with no spectacular showness.

Winner of Both Group A and Loudest of the Day:

My friend! woop woot

Two little trophey thingys and two $50 off voucher things, not too bad for an easy days work.

And that’s the end of that chapter…Ch00n in next time for businessy computery stuff and more!

Signing Off,
Your Lazy Lump,
Rather Slow Chap,
Candy Craving Lad,

Salem.
