Hiya folks! Thanks for logging in!

Continuing on the house of the future topic, a dude named Bucky Fuller envisioned a long time ago that we'd all be living in manufactured housing.

I don't know about you, but I have a tendency to think that all that shiny metal would give me a headache.

And then there's Disneyland's version of future housing. Go here and read this:

For blog credit this week, tell me which of these style houses you'd rather have and why.

Howdy! Thanks for logging in!

So it's time to switch topics. I thought we would explore new household technology for a hot minute.

I've noticed that one of the areas of our lives that advances the fastest is home technology. Just when we get the newest thing bought for our home, the next newest thing is coming along.

Such as this sweet little invention:

How 'bout a lightbulb that is also a bluetooth speaker? Heck yeah. Walk into the room, let my bluetooth on my phone find my lightbulb / speaker, play my tunes straight from my phone wirelessly. To my lightbulb. Maybe yall aren't understanding just how cool this is!

So your task this week is to go out on the internets and find something cool for your house (it must be technology related) and come back and post a link here, along with your OPINION. Please don't cut and paste description, we can all read TYVM. As always when we do this kind of thing. you may NOT use a link that has already been posted.

Hola homies! Thanks for stopping by!

In preparation of switching topics, go here:

Pick a product and tell me why you dig it, or conversely tell me why you think it's the stupidest thing ever. Post the link to the product so the rest of us can go look at it and make fun of it with you.

Hola!

Can I just say . . . . COME ON SPRING BREAK!!!!!

Whew. I feel better.

So last week I was watching Good Morning America and they featured a vibration machine that is for weight loss. For real. I could barely watch through the tears running down my face I was laughing so hard.

Back in the day I can remember my mom and aunt going to a gym for ladies called "Figure World" and it had a machine that jiggled you all over much like this new-fangled contraption.

So for credit this week go read this article and give me your opinion of this "new" idea of vibration machines. Will they work? If you lose weight from this machine will it last? Can I eat pizza while I'm using it?

And while you're at it, go Google and see if you can find a picture of the old-timey ones with the belt you wrapped around you.
