I know there is a lot of people out there that work in cubicles. You are confined to this little box for eight hours or more a day and you are super unhappy about the conditions. Oh, sure, you try to spruce it up a bit by adding family pictures, calendars, your cute picture of your dogs and cats, and then that comic strip you think is hilarious but, it just does not do the job! 

Well, you should try out the Pimp My Cube Contest! It is really fun and easy to get in on the action. Just take a video and show your cube and explain why it really sucks and is horrible. Which, should definitely not be hard, right? After that, you upload it to the website and then share it with your friends, family, neighbors, and the guy down the street. Have them vote for your video and you get an entry for every time someone votes. 

 

What is the entry for? Well, that is really the best part. You get to win your cube being pimped out! That includes a new desk and chair, new high end computer, and a new entertainment package which would have something like a high end stereo, espresso machine and such. 

No one has uploaded their videos yet, so you have a pretty good chance at winning! You can upload your video from your webcam or even a phone, they’ve made it totally easy to do. They say anything goes in the video so make it as fun as you can! 

There is also a second sweepstakes that is going on for a random registered user to get picked from a random drawing and win a $200 gift card. The contest period is from 12/5/11 at 12pm to 1/31/12 12pm. How weird is it to type the year 2012, by the way? So weird. Anyway, you have plenty of time to get your video up there. So, go visit the PMC site, register and upload your videos to enter the contest. Once your video is up, have your friends, family, and anyone check out your video and vote on it!

What would you do with a pimped out cube?

I do not wear eyeglasses but, if I did I think that I would try to have a couple special frames that went with the holidays. Maybe not anything too crazy but some solid colors that go with different holidays. For instance, I would totally rock some orange glasses for Halloween and then there is some awesome lenses at Zenni Optical that are yellow, green and red tye dye looking that would be perfect for Christmas. Which, Christmas is coming up if you did not look at the calendar or you live under a rock, or both! If you want to go gander at the frames I am talking about they are number 740729. Seriously, they are awesome.

Better yet, I will show you myself!

Pretty nice, right? They are totally festive, what do you think about them? I like them because they are cheap eyeglasses as well. Can’t go wrong with something under thirty dollars. 

If I bought these eyeglasses from Zenni Optical, I would save a lot of money and buy Duncan a nice wooden kitchen set for Christmas. He loves playing with the kitchen that Jeremy and him have now but, they both can’t get in there. 

Go to the site, find which pair you like the most and come back and tell me about it! I bet you can’t find just one.

My brother has needed a new phone really bad for awhile. Finally, I told him to start looking at new cellphones so that we could get him one since his current one was having the screen white out and it was just altogether getting worse. So, we looked at a lot of options. He really did not need a phone that had a million bells and whistles and he just wanted something that looked nice, texted great and okay, had a few whistles. He mainly is looking into the texts since he does a good 5,000 a month. That’s gone down too. During the summer that is easily doubled.

One phone that he was looking at that I really ended up liking was the LG DoublePlay™. Not only is the phone sleek looking but it runs Android which, I love of course. It also has two touch screens on it, how awesome is that? It has the QWERTY keyboard that I have grown to love with my own phone and that he was looking for along with a five megapixel camera. He takes a lot of cellphone pictures so that was important to him as well and even though the video camera part isn’t so important to him, it still comes with a really awesome one! 

The social media side of it is something he doesn’t really use but I found interesting since I do use it. With the keyboard and the dual screen it makes social networking easier than ever. I spend roughly about ten hours a week on social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, and other things so it would benefit me to have an awesome phone which helps me out with it.

Have I mentioned that I am falling in love with this phone? Seriously, I think this one is giving my current phone a run for it’s money. However, I’m stuck with Verizon and this phone is exclusively with T-Mobile. If you are with T-Mobile and looking to get a new phone, this is definitely the way to go. Check out the LG DoublePlay

So, what I want to know from you is How many hours do you spend on your phone or on social media sites on your phone? I know I can’t be in the minority for the amount of time I do!

I have quite the December going right now. It is going to be jammed pack with planning, stressing, and holiday goodness. One thing that is thrown in the end of this month is traveling. We are going to be traveling a great distance and with Duncan as well, of course. Duncan is a toddler and toddlers love to snack and eat, right? Well, sometimes. I have to come up with little snacks that he can eat on the travel that will be nutritious and that will keep well. When I found out about PackIt lunch boxes I thought this was definitely the key to keeping things such as his milk colder longer. The PackIt’s stay cold for up to 10 hours. You read that right, ten hours! I had to double check what I was reading because that is quite amazing. 


Imagine you are traveling (like I will be doing) and you have a little one that drinks milk or anything that has to be kept cold. It’s a pain in the butt to cart around ice or those measly ice packs that only keep things cool for a couple hours. With this little lunch box/cooler you can do it for almost half of a day. Right now you can go to the PackIt website and buy one and then get another one for free for only $19.95. That is such a deal that you will want to stock up. 

 

What would you use the PackIt for if you were to get one, and why do you think it’d be better than your old lunch bag?

NortonLogo_white.jpg The internet is the key to any business these days. If you are a big corporation or just a small single business owner, it is something that you need to connect with. There are a lot of things that can be done to promote your business and products so while you are on Facebook and telling all your fans about that new coupon code you are putting out, you do not want some nasty virus to lock your computer up. There is also malware out there that can put your computer out of commission worse than a virus. Believe me, I have had my fair share of them. 

What can you do about this? How can you make sure that your internet experience stays as clean as you can possibly get it? Well, you could go ahead and give Norton Small Business by Symantec a go and have a nice and secure internet. If you do not have something that could protect you then the information that you are putting out there, secure or not, could be used against you or possibly ruin your business. 

The last computer I had was always catching viruses and malware left and right. It would make it impossible to go to any webpages except the one that it was set up by the virus to go to. It was horrible and irritating. It also killed my computer in the end. 

Right now, as a small business owner you could get get 30% off Norton Small Business Products now.

Money off and a safe computer experience? You have nothing to worry about. Try out the Norton 360 and Norton Internet Security 2012 that launched in September also.

So, tell me, which Norton product would you benefit from the most and why?
