Sharp Car! Stylish, Purple & Custom MP3 Horn!

Ella — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 14:00:10 +0000

This smooth, sleek, ultra stylish and luxurious—ultra violet car is not only snazzy, it’s fit for a queen! Well, a princess… ok women! Well, rich women. (Princess and queen again, then?) Anyway, not only does it come in shiny purple, but the horn sound is customizable, enabled to play an mp3.

Material girl?

Gold digger?

Glamorous by Fergie?

A Prince song?

Just please, no Paris Hilton music! The stars may be blind (yeah right) but most humans’ ears are not deaf … one’s likely to annoy many, even if this is a rare ride to catch.

And oh yes, the Sedan is on sale for $2 million from DiMora.

Apple is Green to its Core: But Not Eco; Money

Apple Computers is giving us working proof that environmentalism fails in the face of business. If a company produces things made of solar power, we think that’s green, as in environmentally-friendly, right? But if that company attempts to patent this technology, therefore not wishing to share/spread/encourage all competition to do the same (we’re not in competition when the Earth’s life is at stake though!) – that’s not about saving the world at all, it’s about getting the edge = getting the green, but not lush leafy green; dark, dirty dollar signs green.

Dirty is right! And it’s not sexy. Sure, sitting out on my back patio un-plugging away on my fully wireless-ness until I can’t take the global Florida heat anymore sounds like an attractive prospect, but this – it’s not “hot”. In fact, I find it rotten.

Turn Your iPod Mini Purple!

I don’t know what I love more now, my iPod Mini in Pink, the one I’ve loved dearly for years, or this newly found purple skin for it. Uh-oh!

The iSkin Mini is a slim silicone cover for the iPod Mini. And it’s currently on sale for $22.99 at the iStore (no Apple relation). It doesn’t just come in purple, but also protective pink, lime green, dark blue, black and grey. They all come with a clear screen protector, an attachable clear clip (so you don’t have to worry about giving that function up) and side “bumpies.” The iSkin allows your iPod to remain compatible with all iPod accessories.

Opted or missed out on buying an iPod mini? iSkin offers covers for all variations, including 4th Generation Skins in even more “skin tones”!

Damn, I’m envious, I could have a newer, larger iPod with a color. Then again, I like the shiny metal on my iPod Mini, so I’m really good.

Buy Dad a Personalized iPod

It’s not only stylish and gadgety, but it’s sweet for your dad. Buy him a personalized iPod for Father’s Day. He loves toys, music (yeahh, grunt) and most importantly you! Now you can put all those things together with something maybe old pa wouldn’t buy himself, maybe he thinks he’s too old for technology (stuck on CDs? even records?!) or maybe he’s tight with the cash. Or maybe he can move up to his 7th iPod, like the evil one’s 70-odd somethings. Anyway, it’s a great gift for your dear dad.

A message idea? “Daddy’s Little Girl gives Dad’s Little Pod.” Ok, I’m bad at that, but you know him best!

Acme iPod Wallet

[Via Chip Chick:] I prefer a perfect-fit case for all possible iPod accessories, or at least something large enough. But the special thing about the Acme iPod Wallet is that it come in all colors to match iPods.

All colors can be ordered to fit the regular and mini iPods; pastel lime, pink, blue and black with pastel interior or really nifty perforated leather in assorted/red trim. Prices start at $35 for a mini sized case.

They even fit the standard ear buds and offer full-sides protection.

It is really stylish and luxurious, too, besides the colors. Its exterior is Italian leather, with a soft-as-cashmere, washable microseude lining.

Of course, there are practical features, such as the open ends for play while in case and the necessary velcro closure (to protect the hard drive).

(I show the green here and not the pink, because hey, not everything need be the girliest (I like green!), but also because it best displays the color matching.)
