It’s starting to get colder and I know the snow is just around the corner.  I have a few little things that I want to get to make my office just a little cozier and my life a little easier.

This little Electric Stove/Heater will be nice when it gets cold.

I have a fireplace downstairs but never seem to be there because of the dog hair.

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire One and I love it but the speakers aren’t very loud so the B-Flex laptop speakers are perfect for added sound and to travel with.

Ok..so after a little research I’m going for Dimplex CS1205 Compact Electric Stove.  I watched a couple of videos (which I couldn’t find on the first one I found so that goes to show you how video can sway a purchase).  There was actually another model, Dimplex CS3311 Compact Electric Stove that was just slightly bigger and just a little more expensive but after figuring out my space and what I want, I feel very confident in my decision.

I’ll update on how it works.

Check out the video:

Other little things on the list:  Fifteen Blocks 3-Piece Rug Set and maybe the Orion L-Shaped Desk With Hutch, Black / Cherry

We’ve recently acquired (ok…my roommate went a little nuts) a couple of Roombas and Scoobas.  I didn’t really think they worked that great and had never been interested in getting one but guess what…they work and they work great.  We love our Roomba.

I use two monitors and have for quite some time now and almost feel like I can’t function when just using one monitor.  Three monitors would be perfect!  My dream come true.

Years ago there was a monitor called the “Grand Canyon” by Liebermann but I believe the company went out of business and the monitor was even featured on an episode of Sex and the City, with Carrie Bradshaw typing her column o Aleksandr Petrovsky’s “fancy computer”.

The Liebermann Monitor was approximately $12K at the time and there was no way in hell I was paying that for a monitor (even if I could).

I did, however, recently discover a new one by Zenview.  Not only do they have the “trio” but all types of configurations from 19″ side monitors and a 24″ center one to various stacked configurations.  I REALLY WANT ONE!!!
