October 2007 Archives

Did I mention that my city is really hot right now? It is true. We are all melting here.

I wish I could have some ice cream now.

I saw once an ice cream machine. I thought that it could be great if I could make ice cream at home but this machine was too big and too expensive.

I would have to work for hours before getting to the ice cream. Too much work.

I never thought about it again until now. I just found an incredible ice cream machine that is small and you only have to shake it to make your ice cream.

Even a child can make ice cream now.

That's right, they say that you have only to fill the machine with ice and rock salt then you can add a flavored ingredient and shake it for a while. No batteries, now electricity involved.

By the way, it is not a big machine. It is a ball (and a really nice one).

I took a look at the price and it surprised me. It is not expensive at all. And you can buy it online.

Take a look at Edmund Scientific website. They have many other interesting products in there.

I was watching Arcadia the other day and I realized how much I miss The X-Files.

Do you remember how Mulder would wait for someone to fix his mailbox?

And the scene when he asked for a sandwich? It was hilarious but I think that the mailbox scene was the best.

Although I have to say that the mailbox he destroyed was kind of fragile.

If I were to live there I am sure I would use a stronger mailbox.

That´s my dream. I want to create that photography site and I will need a shopping cart software.

Some years ago it would be impossible to do but now it is so easy to buy things on the Internet these days. We go to a online store and we can buy anything in a matter of seconds.

The technology behind this is incredible. They use many shopping cart software and it is difficult to choose one if you want to start a business.

That I just learned. I found out how to do it in this page:

http://www.ashopcommerce.com/

It is a nice site, very well built. They offer the possibility of creating your own online store. I just had to bookmark it because it is exactly what I was looking for. I hope I will be using it very soon.

I even made a test drive and I loved the look of the site.

Go take a look!

It seams that my new page is coming really soon and I will let you all know when it is done. I am going to accept Paypal and credit cards and this software is perfect for this.

Have a nice day!

As you all know I am trying to create a new site. In the future I am going to have a photography related website.

A friend of mine is a photographer and a good one I must say. I was reading a book another day and I thought I could create a site and put her pics in there so people could buy them.

Anyway, I need to have money to do that since a good script is really expensive. So I went to a search engine and began to research about it.

The big question was "how to make money online".

Please, don't even try to make this search! You will get millions of pages.

I can save your time just telling you about many programs that will allow you to monetize your site.

One of them is Smorty. Smorty is a blog advertising program that pay you to write about some products.

I just starting using Smorty and I am going to see how it works in the next months.

I will only get products that are related to this site because I don't want this site to be boring.

Now, if you have any question about Smorty I am willing to answer it. So far I can tell you that if you have a blog you can gain money just doing what you already do. Blogging. Simple like that!

How difficult is that? It depends on what language you are learning. I am learning French right now and it is really difficult.

I learned English some years ago and even if I am not that good I know that I can communicate quite well.

But French is a challenge for me.

Maybe it is that way because we have more contact with English than French.

That reminds me that I never took the TOEFL test. It is because the test is very difficult and I think I would need some help.

I know that there are other tests that I can take but I don't know if I am good enough.

I found a good site http://www.tutorvista.com/ that helps people to prepare themselves to these tests.

They tutor the students in other matters like math, algebra, biology and many others. Take a look and tell me what you think.

I almost forgot about the Halloween. I have a friend who went to Los Angeles recently and she asked me what I thought about buying some costume and other stuff like skulls and pumpkins.

At that moment I really didn't know what to ask her. I just wanted her to buy me the last Dexter romance. (I talked about that in one of my posts.)

Usually I don't go to Halloween parties so I didn't really care about what she wanted to bring with her. I went to a Halloween party one year ago and it wasn't a real Halloween party at all. It wasn't even in October.

Anyway I used a costume at that occasion and I realized that it could be nice to have a costume in case I go to another party.

Too bad I didn't have the time to ask my friend to bring the costume. She came back from LA and I couldn't ask her about the costumes.

Internet is a great thing anyway. I found a site called NFL Jerseys recently that has lots of costumes, and they are offering some nice Halloween costumes as well. Just check it out at http://www.nfluniformset.com

They sell NFL uniforms and I it was a surprise for me to find out that they had Halloween costumes too.

Only for kids, I have to add.

My nephew would love these uniforms. I know I would. Too bad I am a girl who doesn't use kids uniform anymore :(

Are you preparing yourself for the Christmas holidays? I would do it now If I were you. And I would do it online because it is easier.

There are many online shoppings out there and I just found this one called Shopping. Easy to remember, isn't it?

I want to give some gifts to my parents, my nephew, brothers and sister and even to some of my closest friends.

I don't know yet what I am going to buy. I know that my nephew loves little cars and that's what I am going to give him. This store Shopping has those little cars called Hot Wheels. Kids go crazy about them.

As for the rest of the people I really don't know. I am searching in some online shoppings.

The shopping I mentioned above has perfumes, pendants, watches, toys, and even Ipods. And so many other stuff.

Check it out!

I was searching for something another day on Google. It was a simple thing. Just a phone number of a big store. You can say that search for phone numbers using Google is difficult.

Thank you. You should have said that first because I lost a lot of time searching for this number until I gave up. I was chatting with a friend from London and he told me to use directories. Ok, thank you again. Give me some good directories!

He sent a lot of adds to me and it is a great way to search stuff. You can advertise everything.

I tried some of them, including this one.

As you know, everything on the net is related and a thought leads to another thought. When I was taking a look at London Advertising I found out a site about translation and another one about Photography.

I asked my friend to take a look at those sites because he is a photographer and now he lives in London working as a translator.

Ok I´m talking a lot. Just go see the site and tell me what you think.
