It is that time of year!

As we near December I can't help but be distracted by online shopping!  Not really being able to one stop shop in Dublin has me relaying on the web for shopping more than ever.  Even now as I was doing research for a paper, I catch myself taking breaks to look at clothing store's websites!  Okay I admit maybe I was doing some shopping for myself!  Things I'm not afraid to purchase via the web are clothes from Forever 21, books, and bedding...I'm a bit unsure of anything else really! I feel I need to see and touch most other things first!  What do you buy online? I'm curious!

Chrome vs Firefox

So I've downloaded the browsers Google Chrome and Firefox.  I'm having a hard time deciding which one I like best.  Chrome is hands down the fastest, which I love being a busy Grad student.  With Firefox I'm liking the extras like Zotero and the website design toolbar.  I'm curious to get other opinions.  Which browser do you like the best?

mydeco

www.mydeco.com
Is a website that I am basing my research paper on for Research Methods. It is a very cool website with big names behind it. There is a really cool 3D visualization tool available where you literally can design your home yourself using the technology. From paint or wallpaper to your sofa to the placement of windows, mydeco really allows the user lots of options. After the space is designed you can then purchase everything you have put in the space. With suppliers from Ikea to Laura Ashley there is a wide spread of product with low to high price points. It will be interesting to see if sites like this really take off. Consumers are very apprehensive about purchasing home items via the web, so what can mydeco do to gain customer trust and get people buying?!
