SeXXXy Gadget Du Jour!


Hey hey hey, smutwhores! It's time for the SeXXXy Gadget Du Jour! And this time, it's a game! It's a game designed to get you off your fat asses couch and work yo BAHDAY!

Cue Jazzercise music!

It's EA SPORTS ACTIVE for the Nintendo Wii! Yay!

Just in time for summer, this game comes along which includes a leg strap that holds the Wii nunchuk controller for certain exercises, along with a resistance band to do those sexxxy toning exercises such as bicep curls (ooh, tasty!). You can even use it with the Wii Balance Board (that comes with Wii Fit), but you don't need to use it.

I picked this puppy up at HMV on Robson and Burrard last night for $59.99 (so far that's the cheapest I've seen it), and I signed up to do the 30-day challenge. I did a late night workout, and boy was I sweating! Being the nerd that I am, I used it with the Wii Balance Board, and it was engaging. There's lots of videos that guide you as to how to do each exercise properly, and it tells you how much calories you've burned. There's even a journal that asks you questions about what you ate, how much water you consumed, number of hours of sleep, and any other physical activity you did for that day. Also, it's fully customizable so you can create custom workouts.

The only criticism I have so far is that I found the resistance band to be a bit on the flimsy side, so those of you packin' huge bulging guns (i.e. biceps), you might want to invest in a slightly more durable resistance band. But since I have absolutely NO upper body strength whatsoever, this wimpy band is just what I need. Ugh, the shame.

Anywhoo, I'll keep y'all up to date about workin' on my fitness over the next month. I wanna look ABTACULAR! (Or at least have a flat stomach like Kara DioGuardi... perhaps I should shop for a bikini and work on singing "Vision of Love" for full effect? Hmm...)

***UPDATE*** I popped into HMV on Robson and Burrard tonight (Friday, May 22). The price has jumped up to $64.99. Wow, what a difference a day makes!

SeXXXy Gadget Du Jour!

Hello, smut-monkeys! For those who have the honour of knowing me personally, you know how I am one of, if not, the biggest gadgetwhores around. I KID YOU NOT: nothing gets my heart aflutter more than juicy pop culture morsels than newfangled shiny pieces of technology. Brimming with the latest technology and birthed from warehouses in Asia by the tiny hands of thousands of assembly line workers in suboptimal working conditions, these high-tech tidbits send me into a nerdgasm of techtacular proportions.

So todays SeXXXy Gadget Du Jour is.... the Palm Pre!

Yes, this is Palm's touch-screen answer to the iPhone, and quite frankly, their much-needed saving grace that has resurrected the sinking Palm company a la "touched by an angel" from the hallowed halls of tech failures. Even though I'm a raging Apple fanboy, the sweetness that the Pre packs is enough for me to splurge on this sexxxy piece of tech. And it's only moments from being launched on the Sprint network in the States (no signs of the Pre launching in Canada though... go figure), which makes me want it even MORE! I WANT! I WANT! I WANT!

Here's an early review from CNET. Click to see why I'm wetting myself in true nerd desire over this shiny technucopia of goodness!

And feast your eyes on the tech-sexy of this bebeh. Oooh! Naughty!

And if pics don't get you off, here's some live action Palm Pre porn!
