Quattro 6000D: The Mother Of All Sewing Machines!

One word: WOW.

I don’t know about you, but this is the first time I’ve seen a sewing machine with an LCD screen! I’m left totally speechless!

I’ve been a frustrated fashion designer one point in my life, until I finally realized it wasn’t meant for me when I couldn’t sketch a design for clothes even if my life depended on it. Hahaha.

If I’m already drooling about this, I’m sure all you fashion designer people are probably having an orgasm right now, haha!

The Quattro 6000D from Brother has a 4.5 x 7 inch HD (omigod, HD!!) LCD Display that shows you a close up of whatever it is your sewing. Apparently, there’s a tiny little camera right where the needle is. Talk about high-tech!

It also has “embedded runway lighting” that makes sewing easier at any dimly lit areas. Tho sewing at a dimly lit place isn’t exactly the smartest thing to do, haha.

It also comes with 3 USB ports and you can actually connect a mouse to it. I guess the little LCD can act as a mini computer menu or something…

AND, it has built-in embroidery patterns that you can select have automatically embroidered on whatever it is your sewing!

Wow! I want one!

Most Memorable Gadgets of 2008!

In exactly 3 hours and 19 minutes, the Gadgenista will officially start the year 2009!

So before I actually leave 2008 behind, here’s a recap of the most memorable (and most coveted) gadgets (for me anyway!) for 2008!

• Asus EEE PC. Of course, who can forget the Asus EEE PC. This little bugger started the whole Pocket PC In Your Purse fashion.
• MSI Wind. After the EEE PC, UMPCs just started sprouting every where. And frankly speaking, the MSI Wind was the one UMPC (aside from the EEE PC) that actually caught my eye. And it was because you can actually install OSX on it, making it the “Poor Man’s MacBook Air”!
• MacBook Air. If there was a pageant for UMPCs, then the MacBook Air would definitely be Miss UMPC of the year. Everybody wanted one, even if it wasn’t exactly the “best” UMPC, technically speaking, around.
• iPod. The iPod Nano had a lot of makeovers this year. From being sleek and shiny, to fat and aluminum-y, to extremely sleek and aluminum-y. And then ofcourse, there’s the iPod Touch.
• RockBand and Guitar Hero World Tour. After that Guitar Hero Party that Blair Waldorf hosted in one of the Gossip Girl episodes last year, everyone wanted a Guitar Hero. But pfft, why have a solo guitar (ok, or maybe a duet) performance, when you can invite a couple of more friends over and have a Rock BAND party! In all honesty, the best parties I’ve attended this year are Rock BAND parties!
• iPhone. Technically, the iPhone came out year 2007, but it was only in 2008 that the iPhone because usable to most countries!

That pretty much sums up the gadgets memorable to me!

What about you? What gadget was most memorable to YOU this 2008?

Which Apps Should I Install On A JailBroken iPhone or iPod Touch?

So there are some people who are actually trying to convince me to jailbreak my iPod touch.

And most of them say that it’ll open my experience to all the “great” applications out there.

Which leaves me to ask? What kind of “great” applications are you guys talking about?

When you say “great”, do you mean free? Or can I get those “great” applications by actually paying for them?

I’m still needing a little bit more of convincing! ;)

iPod Touch/iPhone: To Jail Break Or Not To Jail Break?

I’m sure there are a number of people out there who got an iPhone or an iPod Touch for Christmas.

I’m one of them, and I’ve been contemplating whether to jailbreak my iPod Touch.

For one thing I’m thinking of getting an Apple Care Package (ACP) for the iPod Touch. I’ve learned my lesson from my last iPod. A couple of days after my last iPod’s one-year warranty expired, my old iPod’s dock port broke. I took it to the center and they said that replacing it would cost almost the same price as buying a new iPod. So there. If I had bought Apple Care, I’m sure they would have replaced my iPod right then and there.

Anyway, back to the topic. To jailbreak or not to jailbreak.

Did You Get What You Wished For This Christmas?

I’m sort of done with my Christmas celebration!

Here in the Philippines, we celebrate Christmas by going to a late evening Christmas mass and then having Noche Buena at the stroke of midnight. Then after Noche Buena, that’s when we start opening and exchanging gifts!

I’m pretty darn happy with my Christmas loot this year. And it’s because I’ve gotten what I wished for! :)

The boyfie gave me an iPod touch for Christmas!

AND, he got me the 32GB version! Wowowow :)

Wheeee :)

I’m currently updating the firmware to 2.2 at the moment so I’ll probably be writing a review like later, or tomorrow.

Anyway, I just want to know, did you get what you wished for this Christmas? Gadget-ally speaking?

Take Down Notes On The iPod Notebog While Listening To Music!

Heeey, this is a pretty cute iPod Nano 3G case!

It’s called iPod Notebogs (designed and produced by Scripta, a Danish company) and it’s simply an iPod Nano 3G case that comes with a built-in notepad!

I don’t know about you, but I usually space out when I listen to music. And during those spacey moments, I usually come up with a lot of crazy and ingenious ideas or thoughts, that I end up totally forgetting. Forgetting because I wasn’t able to write them down since there’s no pen and paper available.

Having this iPod Notebog would be pretty handy!

Price: $27
Where to buy: Scripta
