Useful and Funny Stuff

As you probably noticed I haven’t updated this blog lately. Time is something I don’t have and I have too keep two other blogs. The subjects that this blog mentions can fit in my other blogs so I have decided to give it a time and maybe sell the domain / blog.

If someone is interested in buying the blog itself or the domain just let me know. This domain is payed until September 2009.

Please email me at soleflor at sapo dot pt with your offer, I’m open to suggestions.

The online store I found - femnutrition.com- can be very useful for those searching for burning some fat. In fact fat burners are one of the most searched supplements specially with the approach of Spring. People want to wear less clothes and, well, the scenery will not be the desired one.

What do you think? Will this man need some fat burners? Diet pills? Or a good exercise program could be the solution?

This is a Water Clock, it is completely Ecologic, no electricity, no batteries, we just have to add a liquid, no matter it is water, juice or beer.

It’s all about converting electrons from the water into electric stream that will feed the clock and make it work.

We can also use this clock as a flower holder, the flower will not interfere in the functioning of the clock.

Quite different from a Rolex President watch.

I’m looking for a skin for my Laptop. Although I have it for a few months now, it still has the original plastic skin that came with it. I like this one:

This skin is called the light and although there are beautiful white skins, for me this one is excellent, because I can carry the Laptop all over the house without worrying about getting a spot in the white skin. With kids around dark colors are the best choice.

It’s like buying a white tonneau cover for a truck that is use for hard and dirty work.
