Miss Upsetter's Profile

I grew up in AZ, so I call it "soda". I moved to MN where everyone calls it "pop"....and they feel the need to correct me or ridicule me. It's a freaking beverage, and you know what I'm talking about! Get over it!

But on the note of being "correct", have any of you ever heard of a vodka pop or a pop jerk? No, It's a vodka soda and soda jerk. "Pop" is just an onomatopoeia ;)

I think geekery - both housewares and clothing - is fine as long as it's well designed. I am a life-long star wars nerd. I wanted Star Wars elements in my home while decorating, but I didn't want it to be BLATANTLY Star Wars. I bought some Ralph McQuarrie prints and had them framed. They're gorgeous. I also have a couple AT-ATs scattered about. Little bits peek out here and there in nearly every room. I'm also a huge fan of Hello Kitty and Sailor Moon. Same thing - little subtle bits that aren't as commercially recognizable or take a second look to realize what it really is. That's just me...I think if you love it, go as "overboard" as you want!!

I like sManga & perfect viewer for my android tablet. sManga allows you to download directly from sites, so that if you don't have connection to a network, you can still use it. This came in super handy on my last flight! Perfect viewer is awesome because it works for any image - I download a lot of japanese fashion magazines, so this works perfectly!

Love the design! I did quite a few glasses with "atomic starbursts" before I moved last year. Those return address labels that I always get from charities & my insurance company were soon to bee null & void. Instead of trashing them, they went to good use as etching stencils.

I hacked a pandigital novel about two months ago and I love it. I started off with the initial firmware that pandigital has on their site, but I didn't like it. I then when to slatedroid and did some research on there, and found an even better firmware pack that one of the users created. It actually can access the marketplace, which most other firmware packs cannot.

Here's the forum I did most of my research on: http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?/forum/58-pandigital-novel-firmware-development/

To answer Jason's question - I'm not sure how it compares to the rooted nook color, personally. I've heard that the issues of accessing the marketplace are similar. Keep in mind that ROOTING WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!!! (sorry for the caps, it needed to be said!)

The picture on the pandigital is great, though. Since they mainly make digital picture frames, it's crisp and clear. I mainly bought it to read comics, manga, and downloaded Japanese fashion magazines. However, reading text through the nook and kindle apps is flawless.

Still not sure? You can't say no to the price...Here's what I did.

* Find the PDN advertised somewhere on sale (Kohl's and Radioshack puts them on sale all the time)

* Print out a bed, bath, and beyond 20% coupon. You can get one by signing up for their newsletter, even if you're already on it. Just sign up again.

* Bed, Bath and Beyond has had ongoing $20 or $30 rebates on the PDN. Check here for current offers: http://www.bedbathrebates.com

*Take the advertisement with the PDN to bed, bath, and beyond, buy the pandigital novel, present your 20% off coupon, and then submit your rebate.

After I combined all of those deals, I got mine for about $85 with tax. It's not the best, most mind blowing thing out there, but you won't find an android tablet for anywhere near as low as you can get this one.

I just got a pandigital novel from bed, bath and beyond. I adore it. I gave it some "help", though...I hacked it into a fully functioning android tablet! It was quite easy. I now have access to books from both the nook & kindle markets and apps from the android market.

What makes it even better is that I got it for less than $90. They price matched radio shack down to $139, then had a $30 rebate, and then a 20% off BB&B coupon. bing bong boom! Awesome.

My cat protests loudly whenever I prevent him from stepping all over my laptop...then he tries about 50 more times....

When I went home over the holidays, I was flipping through skymall to look at all of the ridiculous stuff.

I found that. I got a good chuckle out of it - the photoshopped angry cat behind the screen is just priceless! It can be yours for $37.99!

you can get those stainless steel odor removers for SUPER cheap on dealextreme.com. It's a great site, but they take their time shipping stuff. If you're patient, the price on anything you get off of there is worth it!

I LOVE traditional style (both american and japanese) and I'm covered in it - but as far as home goods go, I'll stick to framed (custom, hand-painted) flash...and just a piece or two.

I loved that table when I first saw it a few years back - too bad it's not for sale.
