It’s been a while since I’ve talked about neat things I’ve found online that could influence your life in positive ways. Frankly, it’s because there has been a drought on these items and I’ve been busy talking about other things. Recently, though, a friend of mine wrote a journal on how much she relies on her pda for her life.
For me, personally, I still choose to have a paper planner. I hate typing everything into a computer and syncing it with my blackberry. I like the convenience of having the internet on my phone, but I’m probably not using its full capacity. With that in mind, I’d like to introduce you to the Page Once Personal Assistant.
Take a minute, watch the video and then come back and listen to me for a minute.
What I love: not having to open my blackberry browser to see things. My bb browser is fast, but there are times my immediate gratification must be met NOW. AND, in the video, it mentions that iphone is the only free app, which is true, but you can use the bb app for a free 14 day trial to see if you like it.
According to the site, the benefits of Page Once are:
*Always have a clear financial picture of bank balances, credit card limits and investments
*Avoid late fees by knowing when bills are due and paying them on time
*Enjoy on-the-go access to all your personal information with Pageonce on your iPhone and Blackberry
*Cure password amnesia forever by linking directly to all accounts from Pageonce
*Defend against identity theft & online fraud by being aware of account statuses in real time
*Never exceed cell phone minutes or text messaging limits thanks to Pageonce alerts
*Manage all family members’ frequent flyer accounts from one place
*Track purchases from Amazon, eBay and Costco
*Know what’s coming next from Netflix and be the first to get the latest new release
*Increase the security of your Internet accounts by assigning different usernames and passwords to each account and managing them directly from Pageonce
*Have the ability to call customer service for any account provider with a single click
As a bonus, for every person that signs up, Pageonce will plant a tree through Trees for the Future.
I’ve used it and it’s nice. I think this is going to really click with the people who rely on their pda and travel frequently. For those of us that don’t mind using our paper planners or who have a more laid back style, I think we’ll probably pass…or at least not pay for the privilege.
Ok, everyone’s doing it and being the lemming that I am, I jumped off the freaking cliff. I yearbooked myself. This happened Tuesday night as it was 11:48 pm and I was waiting for the 12 am woot to come up. What? You never know when it will be the bag o’crap?!
So, anyway, I was bored and Leon was sleeping. A.J. was sleeping. The dogs were sleeping. I had insomnia and a woot was coming! So, I gave in. I am ashamed.
In my defense, I was BORED. There was NOTHING GOING ON. It was TUESDAY NIGHT.
*mumbling to herself like a crazed woman who just wants some milk duds*
That doesn’t mean you don’t get to see how I’d look through the ages. I. am. smokin hot.
Look, I know some people think I couldn’t pull off 1994. Here’s why I can: the facial hair. I think it compliments my eyes.
As you can see, I age pretty well. I think I had a couple of these styles, but there is not a chance that I’m going to tell you which ones of them they are. I couldn’t post ALL of my pictures from yearbookyourself, because there were a ton of them and this post is already picture intensive, but you get the hint.
For the record, the woot was cheapie noise activating headphones. *sigh* No bag o’ crap that day, folks, but totally worth the time spent to mess with the toy.
It feels like forever since I did my last giveaway, but it’s really only been a little over two weeks. You guys make these really enjoyable for me. Since I hate waiting, I will probably step these up and do them more often for little items, as opposed to once every now and then for big ones. I’m still mainly providing them myself, so I do them when I can afford to do so. If anyone wants to sponsor a giveaway by providing goods, let me know. I’m down and I’ll disclose. All you have to do is follow through.
Leon and I sat here and pondered what my “theme” should be this go around. It is actually the hardest part of doing a giveaway, honestly. As I was pondering, Leon mentioned that he’d bought me a surprise recently as an “I’m sorry gift” for some recent “toolish” behavior. Said toolish behavior was getting himself a new blackberry with our only available phone upgrade when he knew good and well that I’d been waiting for a blackberry flip phone for over 5 years.
I make butt calls like no one you’ve ever seen. He’d been waiting on the blackberry tour. He was sneaky and got his phone. I may have said I could wait for a phone, but I DIDN’T REALLY MEAN IT AND HE KNEW IT. So, I wasn’t happy and he kept saying things like “look what this will do” and “ooooh” and “it goes so fast.” As my head spun like Linda Blair in the exorcist, I think he realized that perhaps repairs should be made. As such, a surprise was in the making.
Back to this weekend. Leon mentioned that he had a surprise on the way and that I’d like it. He wanted to know if I wanted to know what it was or wait. Anyone that knows me knows that I cannot wait on surprises. Seriously, I will buy someone a gift 2 months early, wrap it, and then have to give it to them right then. I can’t wait. I can’t I can’t I can’t. I have no self-control. Leon’s eyes had that “happy crazy husband” look when he said, “I bought you a kindle!”
I whooted.
Literally. I whooted! I’ve been waffling on whether or not I wanted one for years. When he said those magic words, I wanted one so badly that I could taste it. Soon, I’ll have one in my hot little hands. I’ve always loved reading. Most nights, I have to read for at least 2 hours or I can’t sleep. A.J. is the same way. We enjoy it so much.
To celebrate my new happiness, I’m going to share my favorite brand of makeup with you. I know, guys get the shortshaft at this blog. I’m going to try to do better in the future, but it’s hard because I don’t know what you want. Someone tell me! I can tell you this, if you win and give this stuff to a woman, it will get you fun happy time. I cannot promise you fun happy time, but women love Stila.
AND, there will be 3 winners this go round! THREE!
Prize 1 – stila silver clutch, eye shadow in shore, vanilla lip glaze, luminizer, black mascara and large pencil sharpener.
Prize 2- eye glaze in honey, vanilla lip glaze and black mascara
Prize 3- monmarte eye palette Here’s how to enter:
1) Leave a comment before July 25, 2009 at 5pm CST telling me your favorite books and a one sentence descriptive reason for why you like the book.
For example, “I like the book The Da Vinci Code because it has an interesting Catholic conspiracy plot that kept my attention. NOT “The Da Vinci Code Rocked!” Notice how the second one tells me nothing about the book? The second one wouldn’t count.
You can leave up to THREE favorite book comments. Yep, that’s three chances right there.
2) You can tweet this giveway and/or link it on facebook or your own blog for extra chances to win! Make sure you leave individual comments so all of your entries count. (That’s an extra 2 chances!)
Things to know:
**Anyone may enter as long as I can read your post (must be in English).
**You can only win one time per giveaway. So, if your comment numbers get drawn twice, you’ll still win once for the higher level prize that you’ve won.
**Comments posted after the deadline won’t be included in the drawing.
**If you win, you must email me your mailing address within a week of the drawing end in order to receive your prize. I am not responsible for anything that happens once this stuff leaves my hands. If it melts, gets lost, etc., I’ll feel really bad, but I can’t replace it.
**I will be using a randomizer to choose the two winners of the giveaway. As long as your answer fits the criteria, you are eligible (unless you are me, Leon or A.J.).
Life is like a game. We all have challenges, thoughts, opinions and beliefs. Often, it feels like something out there, life, karma, catty people, or blue shells (for the Kart lovers), seeks to bring us down. Luckily, we always get up.
