The Gadget Goddess...

Who is tired of the jacked-up prices of gadgets at your local stores when you can find it cheaper online?


not to mention, one gadget usually leads to another, sometimes out of necessity.  Necessity is the mother of invention, so they say, and what a technologically advanced (aka dependent) culture we have become, huh?  I haven't bought into many of the gadgets, even some most take for granted, like a dishwasher.  I still employ the old-fashioned, get you a rag, run some soap & water technique, not that I wouldn't love to have a real mechanical dishwasher, or one in mannish clothing! Come to think of it, my ex was the dishwasher.

Oh, I don't have a cellphone either, not that I wouldn't like one per se, but why pay two bills, one to have a house phone and a cell. Personally I don't like being bothered with a ringing phone;  I don't want people to have access to me 24/7; I need unplugged time, and besides I pay for teens' cell which is costing me a damn fortune as it is.  She is running over her minutes EVERY frickin' month.  Oh, and now she is driving so I've had to add her onto my auto insurance.

okay, okay, stop bitchin' here, back on track....oh yeah ...yeah...speaking of gadgets...

...makes me think of that show on TV, MacGyver, remember that show?  He was always fancying some gadget just in the knick of time to save somebody from harm, stop a bomb from blowing up, saving a city from destruction..etc...I wished I had that ingenuity...

Flip DVI KVM Switch

but that's not why I was writing this post.  I was going to tell yuns about this new gadget I bought, which out of necessity led to another trip back to the store for another gadget to make that gadget work, and then the damn thing still don't work right.    

Why?  Well, to make a long story short (hahaha you wished I'd shut up dontcha?, eh?) I bought this gadget which allows me to switch between my work computer and home PC just by pressing this little button; so I can share my mouse, my keyboard, and my monitor; however, what they didn't tell me was that this gadget would NOT allow me to share the Ethernet love to both computers ...

So, Yours Truly, the gadget goddess will have to yet again buy another gadget...(aka a router). 

Yep, I couldn't for the life me figure out why, when I switched from one computer to the other, my internet was not working on the other.

Duh!!!!!! Big Red Truck!!!!! Go ahead laugh...but remember...next time you need a gadget don't buy it at the local ShopNRob, but rather take a few days and shop around, get it online, you'll save bucks and some gas running back and forths~!


And just who in the heck is the Gadget Goddess?
