This Summer's Countdown! Our Girls Are Back!

Yes, another summer countdown ;) Last year it was the iPhone. This year it's the Sex and the City Movie. It's so much fun having events to look forward to at the beginning of the summer :) Are you wondering what Sex and the City has to do with GoGadgetGurl! Everything! Every episode she writes her column on her Apple laptop. Remember the episode when Carrie's laptop crashed and how she didn't even want Aidan, or anyone else, beside the computer geek to touch it. He was able to save some of her data. The result, she learned the importance of backing up her data. Oh! And when the series started Carrie didn't have a cell phone. So, remember the episode when Carrie's birthday party was a bust! She waited for hours at an empty table for 10 before she sulked home. When she got there she heard message after message on her answering machine telling her everyone was stuck in traffic and couldn't get to the restaurant. I think it was Miranda's message that said "Get a cell phone!" And that's when Carrie got a cell phone. On the final episode of the series it was a shot of Carrie's blinged out pink cell phone that revealed Big's real name, "John". And if you've seen the Sex and the City trailer it seems to be that same cell phone that we watch fall out of a devastated Carrie's hand and down the drape of her wedding dress to the floor. What happened? Who was on the phone? I don't know now, yet I, along with every other fan, will know on May 30th ;)

My Little Black Bag


So, I thought I'd share with you what I have in my little black accessories bag. The one I mentioned last week. In addition to the audio cable, I carry in my bag all the accessories I need for all my gadgets when I travel. I love this little bag. I never unpack it, so I never forget anything. When I travel I typically carry my mobile phone (currently an iPhone), digital camera, laptop, an ipod or two, and my flash drives. So, in my bag I carry the wall and auto charger for my iPhone and iPods (the adapter and the cables). My digital camera cable to connect to my laptop, an ethernet cable (in case the hotel room doesn't have wireless, and I'm happy to say I haven't needed an ethernet cable in months), and of course, the audio cable. Now, the most important accessories I carry are two electrical outlet extensions. I don't know your experience staying in hotels, my experience has been one too many hotels rooms didn't have enough outlets for me to plug in all my gadgets. My outlet extensions have been a lifesaver many times. And just in case you're wondering my laptop power cord is usually in my laptop bag.

Sak Pasé!

This is an entry I wrote couple of weeks ago...more to come!


I’m on a road trip with my best friend. I moved east over a year ago to get a new perspective on my life. And I got it…a new perspective. So, I’m heading back home. And just for the record my best friend from high school is the bestest best friend ever for leaving her husband and two kids behind to keep me company on this drive. Thelma and Louise, not! Yesterday was our first leg of the trip and we stayed in the Atlanta area. I love traveling with her because after driving 10 hours we found a nail spa and got a manicure and petticure. Oh! and their spa massage chair was heaven. It’s the little things, right!?. Like last night a little cable brought a party to life! Last night we had an impromptu party with an iPhone infused Wyclef, a boom box, and a little cable. It was a male to male audio cable. She wanted to dance to Wyclef Carnival II and it was only on her iPhone, so I thought “I have a cable that will connect the headphone jack on the iphone with the headphone jack of the boom box; set the boombox to AUX and Voilà! “It’s Carnival!” “Jump, jump, jump!” That’s the way to have a road trip. I rarely use this cable, and yet when you have the perfect cable to bring a moment to life it feels so good ☺☺☺
