bésame mucho & happy easter to all!

Happy Easter Sunday to All! Miss Techyness is blogging to you live from sunny Key West, Florida — and so I’d like to share a warm “Happy Easter” greeting to all. Regarding techyness levels here on the island, I’d have to say the foursquare use is pretty low, as I am continuously adding new venues [...]

America’s Favorite Handbags Go Digital

I grew up wearing a uniform. So, as a girl, your only way to showcase your personality was through your purse and your shoes, and at my school, it was all about the bag. Many went for the true americana styles of Coach or Dooney, and of course there was the occasional Euro entry (which [...]

Mission: The perfect headphones.

The only comparison I can make between the number of headphones/earbuds I have been through is to boyfriends. Some relationships ended with an upgrade at the end, and others ended a bit more tragically (take for example the death of my SkullCandy TI’s on Friday). As of late, the boyfriend side is going well (2/14 [...]

Fashion + Tech = It’s a beautiful relationship.

If you caught the season opener of (my personal favorite show) Gossip Girl, then I’m assuming you’re just as obsessed with the clothes as I am. However, finding the clothes is a bit more challenging. Who says we can’t add a little gossip into our lives too? Thankfully, in my long-term Internet quest to find [...]

Etsy. Weird Word, Really Cool Stuff.

Let’s face it. The Internet is a wonderful place to find one of a kind stuff, especially affordable art. But to me, Etsy its just about as good as finding a vintage chanel bag that you can afford (ok maybe that’s a stretch but I know you’re getting the point.) I came across the site [...]

Why Geek is Chic (& a great niche market)

I believe that my techyness is multi-dimensional. (Don’t worry, I’ll explain.) While surfing the web (& choosing RSS feeds) I often find myself torn between straight-up true tech sites like engadget (my favorite) digg’s technology section, gizmodo, slashdot, lifehacker (basically Forbes top tech blogs). But there’s another side. It’s more like the girly-girl in me [...]

WiFi Detector T-shirt: I’m giving it to my IT guy.

So, in writing for the Daily Orange’s technology section, I received a small care package from ThinkGeek, everyone’s favorite destination for techy gear. One of the things I received is the WiFi finder tshirt. The shirt is still sitting on one of my shelves, unopened. It’s not that the thing isn’t innovative or funny, because [...]

Shop it to Me: A Compiler for Online Shopping

On my 22nd birthday, one of my friends made a comment about the dress I was wearing, and said that she “saw it in her email.” Confused, I asked her to explain more- she said that twice a week, she gets an email filled with items that are on sale in her size. I was [...]

Silly Boys, Pink Headphones are for Girls.

I recently purchased the Skullcandy TI’s in pink (proceeds to breast cancer research) after spending months lusting after them on the skullcandy website. I know what you’re thinking… I didn’t buy the pink furry ones (sorry!) But those are cool too- for people who like that sort of thing. For the money, these headphones are [...]

How One Thing Leads To Another…

Like every college student on the SU campus, I take my iPod with me just about everywhere. And when you’re at the gym and set it down to sign in, or if its out on the desk at the computer cluster, people notice it. With this cover, I get a lot of “double takes.” People [...]
