In my opinion, anytime fashion and technology overlap, it is cause for celebration. Which is why I find it utterly amazing that none other than iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld will be making a cameo in the much anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV.

The diva-esque Chanel designer was eager to be a part of it, and said ""I prefer to be in a video than to play with it, I would love to be a very nasty, politically incorrect character." This is no surprise to me. However, Lagerfeld will only be featured as a part of the game's soundtrack - where you can listen to him as one of the radio DJs.

The much sought-after game is due out on April 29.

I'm going to be 100% honest here, I have had to replace my noise canceling earbuds twice already this year. Not because they were bad quality, but rather because my cat chewed through the cord. Twice. Thus, I will not be spending a lot of money on said ear buds any longer, for fear my cat will eat them for lunch.

I have had a pair of generic, pink, JVC "Gumy" earbuds for a while and they are - lets just say, undesirable. I mean, they get the job done, but I work with men. Loud men. I need something that is going to be efficient in blocking out the chatter!

Cue JVC Marshmallow Earbuds. For about $20, you get a pair of comfortable, efficient, and lets be truthful, quite nice looking, noise canceling headphones. I may be partial because I have now been able to regain my sanity with these (i.e., the NOISE is gone!), but all in all a great little product in my opinion. Don't like pink? No problem, they come in white, black, green, blue, red, purple, etc.

Everywhere I go lately, I am hearing another story about someone being RickRoll'd. Not just individuals, but massive groups of people. Basketball games, the NY Mets.... Is it just me or is this losing it's edge? I think the whole phenomenon crossed the line the minute Perez Hilton RickRolled his readers.

In your opinion - when did RickRolling jump the shark?

Not a bad idea for Mother's Day. I am loooooving the mint color.... and the yellow is totally rocking my world too. We need more gadgets that are available in colors like these.

Every once in a while, someone I never talk to on iChat will get a nice message from me that looks something like this:

"555555555555555555555JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJT4OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

It's always a great conversation starter.

I have to agree with Gizmodo, this IS a brilliant idea, but there is no way in hell my cats would ever stay on this little ledge! They much prefer to lay directly on top of my hands on the keyboard, or to just keep walking across it, back and forth, back and forth.

But if you wanna try your luck, the Kit-in-Box by 'The Refined Feline' (LOL) holds up to 20lbs of cat and is available in three stains: birch, mahogany and cherry, for $49.99.

And if you do....... send pics!

There are so many days when I'd love nothing more than to do this very thing! Especially when I'm the only one picking up the damn phone!

WARNING: This is the opposite of lady-like.

"Owwww!" Bahahahahaha!

Never again will we have to bother carrying around two phones (one for business "This is Sarah," one for pleasure "Heyyyyyyy!")

Introducing the world's first dual-SIM smart phones, W1000 and G1000 Windows Mobile phones from HKC! Both devices feature a 200MHz CPU, 256 MB of RAM, a 2.8" touchscreen and Windows Mobile 6 of course. The difference between the two is that W1000 is CDMA and GSM and the G1000 is dual GSM.

W1000

G1000

The best part is, you can keep both accounts activated at the same time, or turn one or the other off, say if you're at home and don't want business calls, or vice versa.

Not yet available in the US (only in Asia so far... no surprise there).

In the United States, roughly 70% of Internet users are over the age of 30; in China, it is the other way around — 70% of users here are under 30, according to the investment bank Morgan Stanley.

Only 1% of the music on iPods is filled with songs downloaded from iTunes.

On average, only 24 songs on each iPod are paid for directly. The rest are either illegally downloaded or ripped from CDs.

Phone cards are SO five years ago. Now, it's all about the disposable cell phone, or at least it will be, thanks to Hop-on Inc. The company unveiled it's $20 (13 Euros) disposable cell phones at CTIA in Las Vegas this year. The compact and recyclable units have a Texas Instruments chipset and works on 900/1800 MHz frequency, but no LCD screen. This is essentially JUST for making calls - absolutely no frills or extras.

A European distributor just picked up 10,000 of the phones for an intial test run. Sounds like a great solution for traveling, no? Hop-on also recommends the phone for kids, teens, and seniors.

The first time I saw a stun gun masquerading as a tube of lipstick was at the International Spy Museum in Washington D.C. (very cool, if you haven't been, btw.) It was neither cute, nor available for sale. This one is not only much more realistic looking, but it's also less obvious than a Taser.

This Lipstick Stun Gun is only $49.95, 3" long, comes in your choice of pink, black or gold, and packs a ferocious 350,000 volts of "shock therapy."

Let's hope you'll never have to use this, but it's one solution for getting rid of any unwanted attention. Oh, and don't confuse it with your regular lipstick - ouch!

This is a particularly sub-par Tuesday for me, seeing as I'm feeling under the weather. It could be the unpredictable LA weather - which keeps switching from 100 degrees to 60 degrees, or it could be too much pool partying this weekend, but regardless, I feel less than glamorous today!

In the spirit of my mood, I found this interesting article on how our overwhelmingly frequent, everyday use of gadgets may be making us sick!

Are Your Gadgets Making You Sick?

From sore thumbs, acne, vision problems, and low sperm count (Yikes!) - I myself suffer from more than one of these ailments (not the sperm count). It's got tips on how to prevent each of these problems, and I for one am open to the advice!

It's worth a look!

Wow. I have to thank my coworker Ben for providing me with this glorious gem. He is lucky enough to experience firsthand, on a daily basis, my rants on how this office is freezing, and how loud and annoying my mostly male coworkers are. (Not to question their masculinity, saying they are only "mostly" male, but rather there this office is made up of 98% men. Moving on...)

I absolutely need this. Never one to be afraid to try something new or stand out in a crowd, I think I'm the perfect guinea pig for the Body-Laptop Wooly Jumper. BTW. Jumper? Did a British person name this thing? Sure it's ridiculous looking. Sure you probably can't see a single thing you are doing. Sure the lighting probably leaves something to be desired. But look at it! Something that hilarious cannot go un-used. Imagine the awesome hat-hair that I'd have after using that... hot!

Another fave: The Scarf for Tech-Addicts. Because wearing a scarf and gloves while holding your Blackberry just isn't complicated enough.

Please, someone send me this, I am more than willing to do a video demonstration.

I want nothing more than to drink an entire bottle of Nyquil and go to bed right now, but these little darlings are truly brightening my day. Thank you Ben!
