Sirracha Hot Sauce Iphone Case


Love this. It reminds me of living back home in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley, Ca. just outside of Los Angeles) where it is home to one of the largest Asian and Latino communities in the US. Because of this it is not uncommon to see a bottle of the iconic Rooster Sauce next to a bottle of the equally iconic Tapitio Hot Sauce in most restaurants around town. I think I need to get an iPhone just to get this case!

IKEA TV

The IKEA TV is coming and it looks good! they actually combined the furniture and the TV into one. Reminds me of how TV used to be growing up. The TV screens were not separate and you would be able to but a huge cabinet that included the TV and speakers. It would take up an entire side of a family room. Of course as the years went on that huge cabinet TV would usually go out and what would dad do....yes, he would be a smaller TV and place it on top of the existing, non-working boat of a TV cabinet. 


Back to the IKEA cabinet features: The upcoming Uppleva is a Wi-Fi-ready smart TV. It features an LED-backlit display, full 1080p HD resolution, and 400Hz response time, along with standard accoutrements like USB and HDMI ports for connecting peripherals. But it’s not just a TV — it’s the anchor of a full-fledged media center, with a built-in Blu-ray/DVD/CD player, a 2.1 surround sound system, and extra storage spaces for tucking away cables and your extensive Blu-ray collection.

Dead Cat Turned into an RC Helicopter...What?


Oh people and their pets. So this is a new one to me. After a Dutch artist's cat was hit by a car he went ahead and had the cat preserved in a spread eagle position with propellers attached to his paws. 



Of course you want to see a video of the dead cat in flight!

Camping Gear

I am not one to camp. I can never sleep good, I feel dirty and there is never enough food. BUT, this gear makes me want to camp. It has such a cool classic look to it. I want one!

Garage/Estate Sale Etiquette - Top 5 Pet Peeves



1. Take Down Your Signs! - When the sale is over, have the decency to now remove all of the signs you put up everywhere. It not only clutters up your town it drives people bonkers to see a garage sale sign, try and find the house then find out that it was for the day before! Which reminds of point #2...

2. Do Not Try and Write an Address on a Sign and then post said sign on a major boulavard. We are not going to stop traffic in order to read your small, smuged tiny writing in a black marker. Brings me to point #3...

3. Consistent Signage! Please pick one color and style and stick with it so I know its you. There are so many other sales going on it can get confusing keeping track of all the signs when you get to an intersection. Sometimes I will follow the blue sign and at the next corner there will be 4 different colors and styles. Then I go the wrong way to the wrong sale and just lost valuable shopping minutes.
*Tip. Pick a colored sign, say green and write GSale or ESale (we will get it) then use the same green for arrows on each corner directing us to your house. Simple and Effective!

4. Do not use stickers! If you want to call an item vintage and expect to recieve top dollar do not destroy it by putting a sticker on it, especially on packaging, books or any paper item. That sticker will rip the paper right off and make it worthless or worth much less. The same goes for ink. Do not write the price on original packing, never, never, never.

5. Deodorant does not constitute a garage sale. There are a lot of people who sell deodorant, soaps, laundry detergent, etc. due to their extreme couponing or side business. I do not consider these good old fashioned garage sales. Unfortunately I do not know what to call them but hate it when I read a vague CL description, plan my route only to find bins of  a mini mart in somebody garage. I understand that it is a deal, call it something else. I feel deceived.

What are some of your pet peeves? I know there are more!

This is an interesting auction. Looks like some of the photos could be used for an Etsy store.

Proceeds from the auction will be used to compensate Kaczynski’s victims. The auction will be online at www.gsaauctions.gov. (U.S. Marshals photo)
