Another store

Right beside a sports store my friend wanted to go into was a franchise store I regularly visit:


It must seem like I always visit cell phone stores. But but.... ok I just wanted to play with some gadgets. But they usually only have dumb phones so that's no fun. Here's a new Sony Ericsson phone that takes 1 Megapixel pictures that I saw:


You've probably seen many chinese people at pmall with them.

At the Marriott Residence Inn

Since the Marriott Courtyard was full this week, we stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn. They're right beside each other. I can't believe there are so many people visiting Columbus. Anyways here's pics of my room:


It's a great way to work! In front of the TV.
Do they really think I can cook? I can do shake n' bake but where's the oven??


And finally we have my bed. Smaller than my last one but still a good size.


Although you can't tell from the pic, there's another TV right in front of the bed since the bed is in a separate room from the first picture. It's like an apartment.

Many in one Machine

So as many of you know, I'm away a lot and staying at hotels. So how do I keep in such great shape and be able to flex my muscles at will? With this great machine:


It can do many things that most of the machines that they have at the gym downstairs. It's so good I can't even describe the machines it replaces.

TV on a Phone

While I was at that mall I mentioned last time, I was at the Radio Shack and the assistant manager showed me this new Samsung from Verizon:


Yup that's a video streaming from the internet! Too bad it's not live streaming video but it was fast and good quality. Would you ever want to watch TV on your phone? I can imagine people all hunched and squinting their eyes while watching the phone.

Some Mall

We decided to take a short road trip around Ohio to find out what's in this town so we went to this mall in OH. I forget what it's called Eastland Mall, I'll update this blog. So here is a pic of it:


It was SO dead and empty. I never even see woodside square (if you don't know this mall in Toronto then at least you understand how small it is) that empty before. The only time I remember malls that empty was during SARS time.
So I took look around at stuff and saw shoes with weird suspension:


And saw stores that don't exist in Canada:


And a trip to the mall is never complete without a visit to a GSM cell phone store:

The Next Week

So I haven't even told you about my last week. We stayed at the Marriott Courtyard:


And we drove in a PT Cruiser (or as dracore would say, coffin car):


I really didn't like the placement of the bed. I faced the window. I guess it's to force people to get up for work.


Here is how I was set up with my best friend... the TV with HBO!


This is a pic of my best friend and I doing work.


I really wished that my best friend could help me get some of the work done as well. Best friends always seem to be districting when real work has to be done.

Where is technology taking us?

While I was away again I went into a Best Buy and I saw this great product!


Now you're not just going to pick up a midnight snack, you're going to go watch some TV!
This refrigerator costs $1000 USD more than a similarly sized and equipped one.
