Projector Pocket Mirrors

Women can be big geeks just like men, but the world of marketing and engineering is just starting to catch up with a woman’s inner geek.  I have two daughters and I see the geeked out toys that young girls are raised with today, but I don’t see the geeked out gizmo’s showing up for women in their late twenties or beyond.

Maybe that is because the majority of women are under thirty, or so they say . . .

Case in Point

Women that wear makeup use Makeup Mirrors so that they can make little touch ups hear and there when ever a ladies room mirror isn’t available.

However, the technology has been around for sometime to create a Pocket Mirror with a built in Projector, its just been incorporated in a device from a male perspective.  With a little adaptation a woman could point their ‘pocket mirror camera’ at their face and have a resulting image projected onto a wall, they could even store their made up face as a photo and have it display side by side their live face as they attempt to get made up again.  That would even be useful in movie production where continuity is king.

You can bet that if nerdy men wore makeup (more) that this type of device would have been a hit at Fry’s a long time ago, but alas the lasses are still limited in their geeky shopping choices.

It’s way past time for an equality betweent the geekier sexes.

Is the MindManager 7 t-shirt Cool?

Today is the day, today is the day that I’m going to finally install

Mindmanager 7 from Mindjet.  I had intended on installing the software little over a week ago and experience some confusion when I receive the license and e-mail as opposed to an installation CD.  I had what I needed to install the program I just didn’t know it.  :-)

I did receive a Mindjet Mindmanager 7 T-shirt in the mail and I mention this in one of my articles last week.  

 

Stew raised the question of whether or not the T-shirt was as cool or cooler than the Mindjet baseball hat.

I don’t know the answer to that because I don’t have the baseball hat and I don’t believe that I’ve seen it.(search revealed this Mindjet schwag; not my schwag, my schwag doesn’t take up as much real estate, but I’m not complaining. I’m moving soon and excess schwag won’t do me any favors, but I digress.) 

However I did snap picture of the T-shirt as I was booting up my computer this morning.

Is the Mindmanager seven T-shirt cool?

You will have to be the judge of that and my apologies to mindjet if I’ve made it look less cool.  It’s Saturday and I neglected to shape today and yesterday, one of the benefits of working from home.
