La Pavoni Stradivari Espresso Machine: Home Espresso Genius


 La Pavoni Stradivari Espresso Machine

I don't know about you, but I definitely am tired of waiting in the long Starbucks drive-through line, while simultaneously making myself late for work, just to get a venti white chocolate mocha to make it through the day. As sad as that is, that was pretty much a daily occurrence, until I invested in the luxurious La Pavoni Stradivari Espresso Machine. Pretty much, this means that I get to be my own expert barista at home, meaning that I am saving money on my daily Starbucks run, making it totally worthwhile to invest the $859.99. If you actually do the math, then I will soon be making money by no longer going out for a five dollar coffee every single day because I can make it expertly at home.Read more

Are We There Yet?


 Autonet Mobile

I know it can be intolerable after about 600 times. Well, Autonet Mobile, the first internet entertainment system for cars, is eliminating "Are we there yet?" from kids' vocabulary this summer by turning the family car into a rolling WiFi hotspot. Now, everyone in the car can bring their own computer or WiFi device and be part of "getting there" with the ability to track points of interest on Google Earth; research the history of towns they are passing through on Wikipedia; or post pictures of the trip in real-time on Facebook, flickr or blog pages.

This summer, as Americans take to the roadways, families are replacing the DVD player with the hottest accessory for the car – internet access from Autonet Mobile. I so wish I had this when my family went on long road trips. I had to make do with relics like the Game Boy and Game Gear to keep me entertained. Yes, I had a Game Gear (still have it) and love it!Read more
