The Smart Trashbox Is Perfect for the Neatness-challenged

by

Smart Trashbox

Did you see what I did there? “Neatness-challenged”! How much more politically correct can you be?

Let’s call a spade a spade, and say that there are people who might be awesome but are slobs at home – plain and simple. Now I am not a neatness freak, but I do like the floor clean and free of pieces of paper, plastic wrappers, or whatever little bit of trash.

Of course, having a good aim might be somehow related to the neatness of your room. Paper Toss might have improved some people’s skills in this regard, but wouldn’t it be handy to have a trash bin that knows exactly where your trash projectile is going to land?

Enter the Smart Trashbox. [Read more…] about The Smart Trashbox Is Perfect for the Neatness-challenged

I don’t know many people who will readily admit that they always look forward to washing their cars by themselves. I don’t know about those car wash babes, but I have a feeling they might not really like doing it on a regular basis as well. Unless it was a gig that paid well, maybe.

Thank goodness for car wash services, yes? While they may not be that expensive in some areas, going to a car wash still entails taking money out of your pocket, and if you like having a gleaming car body all the time, then you will have to spend a lot of time ensuring that. And then it rains.

With this new coating technology, however, you just might be able to save on car wash expenses. Or at least avoid the hassle of getting your ride cleaned and blinged up too often for your liking. [Read more…] about New Coating Technology Might Just Help You Save on Car Wash Expenses

Is Google Plus a Failure?

Google Plus

Just like many other Google products, Google Plus made waves when it was first announced, even more so when it actually launched. There is, however, this thing about many a Google product. It seems some of them never really go past beyond the initial ripples, and they eventually die off.

This is what many people are saying about Google Plus, which initially was touted as THE alternative to Facebook. There were – perhaps, are – many things going for Google Plus, but the negative things being said about it cannot be totally ignored. For sure, you have heard terms such as “ghost town” being used in reference to the platform.

But can we say that Google Plus is a failure? [Read more…] about Is Google Plus a Failure?

Knock-offs from China are nothing to be surprised about, yes? You probably have already heard people saying that in China, you can find knock-off of practically every item that has been manufactured. That may or may not be accurate, but if you are in the market for an alternative to the much raved about Apple iPad (throw in the Samsung tablets in there as well), here’s something you might want to look at.

Say hello to the HaiPad. [Read more…] about Oh, HaiPad!

What’s the Matter With Batman?

What’s the Matter With Batman?
This question could be answered with “Where do I begin?” or “Absolutely nothing!” – it all depends on your perspective, I suppose.

According to Robin Rosenberg, clinical psychologist and author based in California, however, there are things that could be wrong with everyone’s favorite superhero. Alright, he may not be everyone’s superhero of choice, but Batman comes pretty close to that, doesn’t he?

Rosenberg has written a book titled just that: “What’s the Matter With Batman?” She sums everything up nicely in one sentence: “He is the poster boy for post-traumatic growth.”

Now don’t get confused and mistake post-traumatic growth for post-traumatic stress disorder. The former is actually a positive thing, wherein the person who undergoes trauma becomes stronger and better. This can be the result of making new goals and perhaps even changing his beliefs for the better. I like to think of it along the lines of what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
