Can you imagine a world without labels? How will we able to read road signs, grocery items, know the sizes of clothes, shoes and bags?  Labels range from the simple tags to big folders that come with instructions. They come in nameplates, overlays, tags, vinyl, plastic – name it, labels have been printed on it.

Data Graphics Inc. is an ISO certified company the makes Custom Labels. Lest you think Custom Labels are all for common places and things, think again. Industrial labels need to be quality-tested. They need to be a Custom Label – complete with the manufacturer’s logo, warning sign and other important information it needs to have. Labels like these come in large rolls, multiple sheets, individual pieces, multiple label sets and kits, pressure sensitive adhesive or mounting holes for windows and difficult surfaces. Available finishes include transparent, brushed, metalized, reflective, tamperproof, fluorescent or phosphorescent.

I think amongst friends I am the only one who has a very basic phone. My mobile phone does not have 3G access and polyphonic tunes, not even space for  extra storage cards. Remember when the coolest thing you can have in your phone is streaming radio on your cell phone ? Due the release of more advanced phones like the Blackberry, iPhone and N97 which allow users to connect to the web faster and take pictures and serve as a personal assistant, that feature has long been not appreciated (due also in part to the advent of iPods).

But all that is bound to change with the advent of Mobitv! With Mobi Radio, you can put 50 channels of ad-free music, talk, news and more in your phone – all those for only $8.99 a month! I honestly would prefer radio over mp3 songs because I do like hearing the voice of a DJ every now and then, especially if the DJ is a cool one. Plus hearing breaking news every now and then is also important.

One week before the Starbucks Spark of Hope Yearly Planner ended, I was able to get mine. This is my second planner (my first I got way back 2005 – yes I completed the card when I was 5 months pregnant!).

I love the planner because it has space (lots of it) to write on and a lot of things I can write on to. I am eyeing their Venti glass (a replica of their plastic frap cups) and their Valentine’s mug for my workstation too. Whoever is thinking of Starbucks’ promos are doing such a convincing job! I hope they can think of nice canvas promotional bags (the logo will rock) next!

I had a relative who moved from Chicago to California and moved by land, since it was very expensive to move by plane. They drove for five days and employed cross country movers for their stuff. It was a great adventure, but they were carrying a toddler at that time so it was hard for them to travel long hours, they frequently took rest stops. It helped that both the husband and wife can drive so they can drive for longer stretches of time because they took turns driving. I cannot imagine doing it alone!

I am not much of a cellular phone addict. I need one to carry my day to day communication needs, but I don’t have the need to dress the phone up nor have the need to always have the latest model once it is released. One thing I am fond of though is having the pictures of my kids as wallpapers for my phone. I know most would prefer cars, or movies or celebrities – you can go to Mozoot for that and take your pick among the plenty of wallpapers for mobile phones. Mozoot is where you need to go when you need to get high-quality mobile phone wallpapers.
