The infamous British stiff upper lip ("No sex please, we're British'') is really just blarney. From out of the land whence came Pride and Prejudice also, ahem, comes iBuzz, an addon to your iPod or MP3 player which advertises itself as a "music-activated vibrating bullet" that works for him and her, all to the beat of music. There's tongue-firmly-in-cheek Brit humor, too, with iBuzz posing the question: "Which song pushes your buttons?" We in the tropics will never know, coz it's sold only in Europe.
Aiyoh. With no end in sight to the "i" labeling craze (more power to Apple for leading the pack), the latest, the iFish, is a finny companion to the iDog from Sega. Works the same, too, with blinking lights and wagging fins when plugged into a music player. The Finding Nemo crowd should fall hook, line and sinker for this one.
We know absolute power corrupts absolutely, and we rather hope the bag will at least leave a taint of us in her memory. Especially since it can charge her iPod at the same time when she goes sun soaking; we like to think she will smile wistfully when that happens. Or maybe too much sun has gotten to our heads. Or maybe we are just too desperate for a ray of hope.
We got to confess that we have been brushing up on our Hangul since like, oh never mind. But it looks like the U10 has been getting a lot of developers making flash games for it in Korea. Though it's no PSP or Game Boy DS, it's a cutesy knick-knack that will look right at home in Hello Kitty's paws. Frankly, we love it and we are going to send a nicely worded email to Santa telling him why we deserve it this Christmas. Hmm, what if everyone's got the same idea? Perhaps more emails than words then. (Read: Spam)

We used to make castles out of discarded cardboard boxes from the local hardware store. Hell, we were so well fortified against catapults and water pistols that we got the local playground crowd to pay us tribute via marbles and ice-cream sticks. If MUJI had made this back then, we could have saved a few ice-cream sticks by not having to pay someone to entertain us with a cardboard trumpet. Yep, even as kids, we completely lost our marbles.
We never recovered.
