Boingo rocks. My favorite part is the little sound it makes when you’ve logged on …oh, and the cool PR guy that creates buzz for them is awesome.

Geeks On An Island

Christine Lu — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 16:40:05 +0000

For the startup entrepreneur, there’s no such thing as a vacation. So we’re not even going to call it that. During the first week of November, a few friends of mine are going to get their friends to join us for a private geek retreat in Hawaii. Stay tuned. :)

Pastel Colored Mochi

Mochi rocks. It’s made of glutinous rice. Which is as fattening as it sounds but really good. I dump a scoop of it in my frozen yogurt each time I visit Yogurtland. They come in many colors and flavors. If you don’t think there’s anything geeky about mochi, then watch the video below. It takes [...]

In Tokyo, you don’t buy drinks. You buy cuteness in a bottle. And they’re available in all sorts of colors, flavors and packaging. How come my local 7-11 beverage shelf can’t look this adorable?

My favorite hotel in Beijing is the Westin Chaoyang Beijing. They’re uber geek friendly there. Just tweet Sean J Kelly and ask him why their hotel is so awesome. Oh and tell him Christine Lu sent you and was raving about her recent stay during Geeks On A Plane.

The Uber Geek Friendly Westin Beijing Chaoyang

One of Beijing’s newest hotels is now my favorite on so many levels it’s not even funny. The Westin Beijing Chaoyang served as “geek central” for the recent Geeks On A Plane tour. Thanks to the introduction by Jenny Bai of The Red Connect and the generosity of Sean J. Kelley, Sales Manager at the [...]

Lancome Oscillation Mascara

Girly tech. This mascara by Lancome vibrates 7,000 oscillations a minute thanks to a little button on the wand. Here’s a video.

Hello Kitty Rocks

There’s no such thing as outgrowing Hello Kitty. Especially when she’s been rockin’ her cuteness for as long as I’ve been alive. photo: sillypucci / flickr / creative commons
