Geeky Jewelery

The first one is my absolute favorite because it's actually useful (and wearing your USB stick around your neck is SO cliche). I like many of them though and some I would even wear (being the geek that I am LOL).

Losing Weight with MyFitnessPal.com

This is a sponsored review.

How do you feel about diets? Do you afford do absolutely ignore them by having good genes or are they "the necessary evil" in your life? Well, if your answer is the former what can I say but that I envy you. If you're (like me) part of the latter crowd, read on.

You probably know by now how simple losing weight is in theory. The amount of calories you add to your system has to be less than the amount of calories spent. Here is where the food diaries (diaries where you carefully jot down your intake of calories) and the exercise come in. The diaries help you control your "calories in" while the exercise helps you burn more calories in order to maximize your "calories out" amount.

Here is where MyFitnessPal.com enters the stage. It is just the place for helping you lose weight in a healthy way. How does it do that? Well, for starters it offers you a free goals evaluation, where you enter the amount of weight you want to lose and other data and you get a list of "your fitness goals", the most important of these being how many calories should you add to your system daily and how many workouts you need per week in order to attain your goal. Very useful information. However it doesn't stop here. The site also offers you a calorie counter in order for you to know and keep an eye on your intake (remember the food diaries I was telling you about). The site also has an exercise log for you to monitor your calories lost and, not in the least, a forum where you can make friends and get some much needed support from people trying to lose weight just like you. You can also look at the reports to track your progress and thus get more motivated.

Just think about it. In this "Internet age", what better way to track your calorie intake than an online calorie counter? :)

A Search Engine That Pays You To Search

Yes there actually is such a thing (there may actually be more than this one now that I think about but I haven't heard about any of them - anyway, according to them, this is the very first one). How does it work? Very simple. You just create an account, log in, and then use it to search on the net whenever you need it. Be aware though that you don't get a set amount for every search or click but for your overall activity in a given month (btw that is the reason why your money only appear into your account once a month). You also get your money once a month, with no minimum limit needed. Here's what they have to say about it:

Payments, disbursed monthly through PayPal, are calculated based upon personal usage. In addition, by referring their friends, Zotspot users can add greatly to their pocketbooks or increase their donation to charities. Creating an account is quick and easy. All personal information is secure, and the data collected by Zotspot will never be sold or shared.

Brighten Up your Kid's Room :)

Meet e-glue :)

Specialized in adhesive design for kids, e-glue proposes much more than just a simple decoration. Considering space as a white page to illustrate, e-glue opens a window on the imaginary, by transforming various supports into narrative spaces, where kids and parents can create, learn and have fun. Using adhesive elements to hang one-self, e-glue offers the possibility, by a stroke of scraper, to colour all services.

In other terms they offer sticky adhesives in a variety of shapes and sizes in order to decorate your child's room :) I sure would have loved that when I was a kid :)

World's Highest Escalator

The Umeda Sky Building is the seventh-tallest building in Osaka City, Japan, and one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. It consists of two 40-story towers that connect at their two uppermost stories, with bridges and an escalator crossing the wide atrium-like space in the center. The escalater ride is an event in itself as it feels like you are floating up into the sky. This is a cheap way to see the city, less than 10 USD to go up to the observation area.

Seems like an interesting ride :)
