Sunglasses Guide

Now if you're a smart shopper like me, you probably do your homework first before splurging on something expensive. Now while this is true for me when it comes to expensive consumer electronics, I don't really do a lot of research when it comes to fashion and accessories. I mean, can you really compare a Louis Vuitton from a Gucci? No, because each is unique in their own way.

I used to be all brand names when it comes to my sunglasses. Until I found a Wiki Page about shopping for sunglasses. I didn't know there are all these types of glasses from polarized to UV protected lens and that you can consider materials like titanium, carbon-fiber, etc. I used to just go with what would look good on me. In fact, when I purchased by Aviators from Rayban, I never even researched what materials it was made from, I just know that I would look good on it. I thought Aviators were exclusively from Rayban, I didn't know that it was a type of sunglasses and that other brands carry Aviators too.

Oh well, I guess it's a good thing that I've come upon that page. More reason to shop wisely.

LG Arena

I loved LG's previous TV commercial for their LG Cookie and the preview for their new mobile phone, the LG Arena looks really good. Now the LG Arena is not your average iPhone wannabe. It has new features that it can boast of like it's the first mobile phone to feature Dolby Mobile and has an impressive 3D user interface.

The LG Arena also has a 5 megapixel digital camera and a metallic finish. Now since I haven't actually touched the phone, I don't know if it's real metal or just plastic made to look like metal. Overall, looks like we have another touchscreen mobile phone winner from LG.
