This alarm clock is something that's bound to wake you - it's won't stop ringing or rather it would be difficult to stop it from ringing until you're fully awake since you'll need to locate it and stop it from beeping.

I wouldn't want one - it will be such a waste to smash a $50 clock so early in the morning don't you think?

I was quite shocked when I read about the death of Anna Nicole Smith. I wasn't a fan but who hasn't heard of Anna Nicole Smith? The accidental death of her son a few days after the birth of her daughter was such an unnecessary tragedy. Then came the media circus that was the question of her daughter's paternity. Here's a better way to sum up the bits and pieces of her public life. May she rest in peace.

It's such great fun to be a young kid these days. Take a look at what toy makers have in store for boys. As a child I never did like dolls and these toy cars and flying wings would have made my day anytime. I got to get one of those Tyco R/C Terrainiac!

The last installment on the immensely popular Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows" will hit bookstores on July 21. Cool! Finally, the question of Snape's loyalty will be put to rest. Four months to go ...

Now if only more wives will think of other er, engaging and interesting way to air grievances against their erring, publicity-magnet husbands ... I'll let you chew on that juicy bit here.

I discovered this informative site on Dr. Daniel Goleman who wrote the international bestseller, Emotional Intelligence. You can learn more about his books and his work here. I found two titles of his books that I'm interested in reading.

Bye for now.
