The Lady Programmer

The term “makeover” is not something that you’d hear from some someone who likes to make a person look better. It has become a famous word which is now used by other non-fashion sources. For one, I’ve seen a TV program mention that they will be doing a home makeover. Have you heard about Roxio’s Extreme Digital Makeover?

Zoey and Chris are the two hosts of this makeover. They had exactly captured what how makeover shows amaze their audience: they had taken a walk in the park to find people with digital cameras.

They got into the “ambush” mode to convince people to download their photos on a computer and create amazing Roxio slideshows. I just wish they can help me with the dozens of images on my hard disk. I just realized no one’s looking at these.

The show is not just another show. You’ll find Zoey entertaining.

Roxio is now having a Make Me Over Contest. Just head to Roxio Extreme Digital Makeover to join and get a makeover.

Perhaps I might be able to change the mind of my friend, Berry, when she sees this. She has a penchant for Hello Kitty items. I found a cool Hello Kitty gadget sold at ThinkGeek. I think she’s cute!

She’s not a silent decor that is placed on any table top. Plug in some compatible gadget such as the iPod or a CD player and this Hello Kitty will move her head with the music.

Don’t miss out the warning that accompanies this gadget: She’s dangerously cool.

“All that live must die, passing through nature to eternity.” – William Shakespeare

Diamonds are often perceived as a symbol of eternity. People often say these gems are forever. This is now literally possible.

A small company in Switzerland had been creating diamonds from the ashed remains of dead loved ones. Most of its customers are Christians.

General Electric first explored this technique in the 1950s where carbon is subjected to heat and pressure extremes to mimic nature’s way of producing diamonds. The technique has improved over the years, including creating diamonds from hair, buried persons and dead pets.

These “remembrance” diamonds takes between three weeks to three months before the customer gets to wear these.

Most people locator services that I’ve seen around charge competitive rates, but I’ve noticed Public Records Pro got lower rates. Its Gold Membership costs only $2.95 per month for an unlimited search among the 400 public records databases in the US.

Like other people locator services there is no trial period for this, but paying for an annual non-renewable membership is surely a great option than the existing services that go around.

When I went to do my rounds of visiting other tech blogs, I feel the excitement of everyone peeking under the hood of Google Chrome. It seemed to me that the tech community had been excited to see this new browser. But it seemed that people had divided opinions about this.

Everyone noticed that this new browser loads up fast. I agree. Perhaps its minimalist design gives it its speed. Or maybe the decision of the Google Chrome team to write the browser from scratch made it the speediest browser at this time.

Not all are happy. Some people encountered some problems with it.

I got the opportunity of having this one brief date with the browser. Check out that experience.
