Finally Ordered
Trekstor Vibez
After a while of searching around for a good mp3 player and something new and different I have finally arrived at my choice! The Trekstor Vibez 12 GB Mp3 player! Has the looks and design of a modern mp3 player with a lot of functionality, all for the price of $199. It has the feature to play old mp3s which you haven’t heard in a while, its playlist capabilities are interesting plus all the normal features. And the recharble battery is easily replaceable. I ordered this a couple of days ago from Amazon, but I had to go through Aramex since they won’t do a direct delivery to Kuwait. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. It has only been released in the states since the end of december so it isn’t available everywhere. I will write a full review after using it thuroughly!
Stolen Bike Update
So I was on the phone with my friend for a while after filing the police report around 4 am his time which is 3pm our time. It turns out they took a screwdriver to the ignition and broke the lock with a hammer, so they knocked the screwdriver with the hammer to break the steering lock and roll the bike away. The ignition piece was found on the ground by the police officer.
The police officer said the insurance company has 30 days to find the bike in any condition it may be in. And then they will make an offer on the motorcycle based on market value. The police officer also said to post the VIN number and pictures of the motorcycle on craigs list and say that it was stolen so that no one buys the stolen bike.
Now my friend and I are looking at Lo Jack for motorcycles as option for the two motorcycles (Triumph Daytona 675 & Yamaha FZ6) that weren’t stolen. She also told my friend to call the insurance company the next morning to give them police report number.
Hotmail LIVE
Posted in Internet on 28 Jan 2007 at 7:50 am
I don’t know about others but at this point I am getting more and more fed up with Hotmail Live. 1 out of every 200 times does the normal Live load, I usually have to go to the “Lite Version” or now they call it the “Classic Version”
I would use the normal version if it loaded! It isn’t that bad, and it does have some useful features if only it would load. The email system seems to be very heavy when you click to read emails unlike Gmail which loads as if they are light as a feather.
There are still features missing on the “Classic Version”, but they have improved since now you can select everyone on the list and delete if you want unlike before, and you have a few more useful tools. But it still feels like something isn’t working right. I currently only check my hotmail once every one to two weeks, and I only use it for orders or subscriptions so I can check it and see exactly what is going with my deliveries and keep track of things. For my day to day email I use my Gmail more then anything else. At this point I have given up on Hotmail Live improving, I never thought they could take a service and make it so unfriendly and daunting to use, they should take a look at what Yahoo did and learn from them.
For once I just want the normal Hotmail Live to load, is that too much to ask….
Evergreen’s 2n1 HDMI Switch
This is one hell of a cool small HDMI switch and its 1080p! And you can connect an Infrared connection to it which can be hid somewhere! The remote is small and has only two buttons. This machine is only currently available in Japan.

Two Orders
I ordered some dvds from Amazon to be directly sent to me through DHL, and I ordered an mp3 player to be sent through Aramex to Kuwait. We shall see how this turns out.
I wanted to test which one would just come through! One thing is that I want to see who will deliver faster DHL or Aramex. I will be posting the list of DVDs and the one gadget that I want! I know that DHL will arrive sooner, but I just want to see what happens with customs in Kuwait. Hopefully this time it won’t get stuck for two months!

My Bike Stolen
My friend just called me from the US around 1:30 am their time. I thought he was out doing something and decided to call me.
When I called him back he seemed to be in a quiet area so I asked him what was up and how he was doing. He told me that he just got off work an hour ago and when he came to my friend’s apartment the bike wasn’t there. After checking it seemed that my 05 Yamaha R1 was stolen from the parking spot inside the apartment complex. He was pissed and I was pissed! It happened inside a gated apartment complex in a relatively safe area! It pissed me off and the guy or guys who did this must have been planning this for a while!
I want to rip the guys throat out who did this! I am happy that bike is fully insured but I know how the insurance company is and they will make it difficult to pay the amount. They will go for the market value of the motorcycle, it is worth $10’500 when first bought they will try to offer $5000 for it, but it is easily worth $8000 to $9000 since had only 4700 miles = 7200 Kms for a 2005 Yamaha R1 that is nothing! And it was dealer serviced at all the right intervals, even all modifications were made by the dealer.
This is really disturbing news! And it got on my nerves, my friend is really pissed because it happened inside the apartment complex and there isn’t a video surveilance for entry and exit from the complex, but there is a security code. This is going to be hell dealing with insurance, and they will take one to two months to search for the bike and two more months to pay up. And my friend loves bikes as much as me, and to us this is something personal! Damn it!

If you are sitting next to someone who irritates you on a plane – and let’s be honest, we’ve all been there……
1. Quietly and calmly open up your laptop case.
2. Remove your laptop.
3. Boot it.
4. Make sure the guy who won’t leave you alone can see the screen.
5. Open this message.
6. Close your eyes and tilt your head up to the sky.

Lois Lane
I love how in Smallville they are giving the small hints of Clark having something for Lois! And Lana is getting on my nerves because she is only causing Clark trouble! Lois is so freaking and hot and I love her attitude, smart kick ass woman! Not much more you can ask for, and its her attitude which is great. And that is why she seems to be knocking Superman of his feet and leaving him speechless at times. I did get motivation to workout after riding my bike but I got more motivation after watching the YouTube video and I love the song!!
