Ipad Queen

LATE POST WARNING: I WON THIS  MARCH 27, 2012

During SXSW2012  I pretty much signed up for everything because:

1. I like to party 2.) I like to win... in that order.

I was at work working on something random when I received an email from Gavin & the Barupay Team. I have always thought that the winning wasn't real, that it was for "other people." Well I became the other people! the lucky people, and it feels GREAT to be on the winning side. 

"Hi Edria,

Thanks again for your interest in BaruPay and we hope you enjoyed the SXSW events and parties.

Well, we're pleased to inform you that you are the winner of the iPad-II.  Yay!  :-)"






I received my IPAD II on March 31, 2012. I took one of my closest friends Pete. It was a fun day! I WON I WON I WON... To be honest with you at first I didn't think I deserved something so nice.






I looked so happy didn't I.

Well two months after I received my Ipad I was getting out of my car when something startled me. There was a guy sleeping in his car. I FREAKED OUT and dropped my bag. My ipad was in it. Why was he sleeping in his car?  I'm always curious as to that.

I have been really disappointed in myself that I dropped it but what can you do? It is still functional.

Unfortunantly I didn't have Apple + Care because I didn't know about that.
So here I am with a beautiful item which is somewhat damaged.

I'm just grateful for the win. I'm a techy so I LOVE LOVE LOVE new items and learning how they function. Here I was worried so much about getting stolen but it got damaged instead that should have been my true worry. It has a function on it from icloud that tells me where it is at all times.


So still grateful but hoping I can get it fixed soon.

Another Man's Treasure - 2 treasures

This weekend I went out to take out the trash and what do you know I found a 32-inch Emprex HD-3201D TV I also found a six drawer cart near the dumpster. I guess it doesn't sell much anymore at Fry's or any other store for that matter. It retailed between $400-800 in it's hay day. This brand is known for the defect in the power supply. It appears it was manufactured in 2005. I am going to replace both the power supply and the tuner. I found out that I will have to pay only 50-60$ for a power supply on ebay. I have set this as my May 2011 Project. Some people don't like dumpster diving, they think that it's dirty or that it's for the poor. I do not agree.I'm not against dumpster diving I absolutely solute those who can make another persons trash their treasure. I actually wasn't looking for these items or diving for them just there. I've wanted an LCD TV for awhile it's going to be fun to fix and not have to spend so much on it. . It...

Matt Barrie flipped the coin between myself and another guy and I WON I WON I WON.. I practically yelled outloud. This is one of many wins this year.
