Found a new home & printer

Pure Essence was sponsored before and the sponsor died so I moved it to hostquack.com. So far I’m very happy with the support and server speed. I can tell a huge difference between the new server and my old. I hope the new home will be a lot better. Pure Essence had suffered a lot of down time due to running out of bandwidth and server down time in the past months. I hope it will be up 99.9% of the time as hostquack.com guarantees

On the other hand, we bought a printer!! Brother MFC-7840W Laser Multifunction Center with Wireless and Ethernet Network Interfaces is our new and FIRST printer. We bought it from Bestbuy for only $200. We never owned a printer before. It obviously is inconvenient from time to time. Now we’ve got a laser network printer that may act as a copy machine & fax machine. It almost feels like being spoiled. Hahaha!

After we purchased the printer, I did a little more research on it. I was surprised to find that we got an awesome deal (even without Andy’s employee discount since it was on sale) and the reviews for this printer are very positive. Hurray!

Thank you gimmekittens so much for bring this to my attention.

Awwww, isn’t that kee-yoot? That lady’s got one of those novelty backpacks …

… you know, the kind that look just like a … just like a …

a … a …

I’m speechless.

Although I’m afraid neither of my pom would like that. Maybe Bubo wouldn’t mind. I know Misty would hate it to death. Still so freaking adorable!

Just joined facebook

OK, I just signed up facebook. ADD ME IF YOU KNOW ME? I know it’s so late and it’s pathetic. But I’m not that much into all the online communities. I tend to stay inactive. But I’m really excited that I was able to find a few lost connections from high school and college on facebook. Maybe I will stay on there longer now

cellphone = tamagotchi?

San-x wants you to think your cellphone is tamogaotchi so they made a bed for it.

You cannot resist it.

If there could ever be something that’s just too cute, some accessory that will rip a hole in the space-time continuum due to its sheer cute-itude, San-X hopes to produce it, and all of Japan plans to purchase said item. Their latest foray into such dangerous waters is the Cellphone Bed, a $15 plush affair with screen-wipe slippers and an unstoppable evil within.

Check out what other crazily cute things you can do to your cellphone.

Oriental theme featured

Update! I hear a lot of problems in this layout with some plugins. I guess this has something to do with your plugin using clear: left; or clear: both; in its CSS. I recoded this layout using relative positioning instead of float. This and subpage support have been added in version 1.1.x.

Aw, how sweet! My oriental theme got featured at wordpress themes. That made my day!

Neat, it also got translated in French.
