December 25th, 2011Beamz Play the Light As Seen on TV Gimmick
December 8th, 2011
I saw this new As Seen on TV product called Beams. They have a little slogan that says, “Play the Light”.
This is a product you play by swiping your hand between two devices and when it senses the motion it plays recorded music.
Since your simply getting recorded music composed by someone else to play by karate chopping the air it seems simply stupid.
I would buy it as a Christmas elephant gift but it is way above the $10 gift limit for that. This total gimick of a music instrument will cost you $200.
I have a hard time believing this will be a profitable TV-Mercial product but the Fushigi Ball and I-Renew bracelet both totally proved me wrong.
Trendy Chicks Offers Fashionable Womens Clothing Choices for the Holidays
October 31st, 2011
Trendy Chicks is a successful clothing store for women that has made a name for itself in Longview and has now expanded into Tyler Texas.
You will find their store off of Broadway right behind Racquet and Jog. Their grand opening will be on Friday but I came in for a sneak peak into what they offer.
I am always suspicious when walking into a small women’s fashion store because I usually see a terrible selection of clothing but these ladies obviously have a knack for picking out good fashion.
I found the clothing selections to be fashionable, tasteful and a wide selection to choose from. Their prices are reasonable as most of their items go for in between $30 – $60.
This store also offers jewelry accessories to go along with their outfits or you may just want to leave with some jewelery for an outfit you own at home.
When I dropped by to meet this new Tyler business it seemed like I had met the owners before but I couldn’t quite place it. I then remembered Trendy Chicks has a TV commercial that aired in Tyler while they still only had a store in Longview. I remember thinking when seeing the commercial that it was too bad they didn’t have a store in Tyler also. Now their TV commercial will be more bang for the buck next time it airs as they now have Tyler and Longview store.
Go by on Friday for their grand opening and get something for someone for Christmas.
Stop patent trolling, boycott Marshall!
December 21st, 2010
Stop patent trolling, boycott Marshall! That’s right, don’t go to see the Christmas lights or visit the Fire Ant festival this year. I mean, people like Sheryl Crowe do it right? Remember, she was the one to tell us how she only uses two squares of toilet paper per sit down in order to save the trees.
Or what about the freedom fry idea? Oh you remember, when France questioned our invasion of Iraq, we decided to boycott using “French” as a label for something. So, if we are to stop the unethical business performed by “patent trolls” we should boycott Marshall, because, well, they are the reason for it, right?
Well, before you cancel that yearly trip to check out the lights, let’s think about it a little more. The increase of patent infringement cases that has taken place in Marshall has been a little… disturbing, but the practice by patent trolls of utilizing bought patents to sue for patent infringement long before the good citizens of Marshall were found to be favorable to these types of cases.
The increase of cases in Marshall has taken place the past 5 to 6 years, the termology and practice of patent trolls can be traced back to 1993. No, to blame Marshall and the people that serve on the juries of these cases is like blaming the rich guy for having a nice car to be stolen.
Bad people do bad things because they are bad, not because they are tempted into it by ideal circumstances. So, sorry Cheryl, we will have to save the boycotting idea for something else.
Hollytree’s light displays
November 18th, 2010
If you do not feel like paying money to see Christmas lights, than you can take your family to the Hollytree gated neighborhood. The fancy houses are each decorated with amazing displays of colorful lights. A couple houses even have a radio station that you can tune into to and watch a light display that goes along with the music. Many of the house’s Christmas light display are amazing.
But there is one huge down side to going to the Hollytree neighborhood, and that is traffic. Every year as you first pull into the neighborhood you are greeted by an extremely long line of cars and horrible drivers. I always feel bad for the people that live in the neighborhood that are just trying to get home.
One of the first houses you will see when you drive into Hollytree in Tyler Texas does one of the biggest light displays every year. They rent out a radio station that goes along with their colorful and vibrant Christmas lights. My kids love to go here and see all the different lights! I think that going through this neighborhood is a fun and free way to celebrate Christmas and spend time as a family.
