While walking in a winter wonderland can be fun in theory, it makes shopping a big of a drag. Do you plan on doing your holiday shopping online or in-stores this season? Why?

Worst Buy

OMG. It's getting too much now. Three days in a row and all the questions are about holiday damn shopping online! Stop it, please! Best Buy is my new nightmare now.....

"Oh, but it's cold outside!" It's a fact of life that the economic climate is a bit chilly this holiday season. Is that affecting how you're doing your holiday shopping?

Frozen Money

Sure. I am as tight financially as many other people. Our currency keeps dropping each day. Welcome back, global monetary crisis! You're so cold. My pocket is freezing!

What gifts, big or small, are you hoping to find under your tree this year?

Parties, dinners, pageants and more. How does technology help you survive the hustle and bustle of the holidays?

I don't feel that holidays give me some extra works to do. Maybe because I don't throw parties and I don't invite people to come over for dinners :) Anyway, this is just an idea for you to help you survive during the holidays. Something I need for myself too if I can afford it the next time Miskiyah needs to go back to her hometown. Hehe.

clipped from www.keepingthecastle.com The World’s First Cooking Robot The cooking robot was invented by Liu Xinyu, and took him and various institutes four years and $2.5 million to complete. It debuted in the recently-concluded China High Tech Fair. The robot in the photo above is actually another version designed as a waitress. This one works at the Robot Kitchen in Hongkong. At the demonstration at the high-tech fair, a demonstartor opened AIC’s door, which is shaped like a refrigerator’s door, and put into a box of seasoned ingredients. He closed the door and selected “Kung Pao Chicken,” a Sichuan dish with chicken cubes, peanuts and dried peppers, from the instrument panel. Four minutes later the dish was done and an attractive smell wafted out of the machine. Visitors tried the dish, many surprised by its vibrant taste. A vision of the future, perhaps? Liu’s company, Pansum Technology, is continuing to work on it, hoping to market it to restaurants first and to homes someday.

The holidays are right around the corner, which means gift-giving (and buying) season is upon us. When do you usually purchase your gifts? What are the benefits/disadvantages of buying when you do?

I buy Christmas gifts whenever I see something I like and I am sure that the recipient might like it, too. It doesn't have to be some time around the holiday season. Just anytime I find something unique and quite personal as I love personalized gifts myself.

The benefits: I get what I want and the recipients are (usually) happy with the gifts. I need not to be afraid that the stuff I want is out of stock.

The disadvantages: The price will be dropped around Christmas time - if the items I want are still on sale. And I might find something else after buying the stuff that I and the recipients like better.
