Rubenerd

I'm really pleased with my mum. Less thank three years ago she had never touched a computer in her life: now she's using eBay, she's registered for and using a Gmail account, she reads the Sydney Morning Herald (online from our house in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia!).

Now she's using a Del.ico.us account. It's not a blog per se, but when she finds something interesting she posts it, sometimes with descriptions. If you're into jewellery, gemstones, weird news stories and necklaces in the shape of the Enterprise A refit from Captain Kirk's era, check it out!

I typed Starbucks into eBay and this is what I got.

The PERFECT addition to any Starbucks coffee lover’s charm bracelet! This sweet circle charm has been lovingly hand crafted using a piece of Starbucks broken china, which has been encased in a silver alloy bezel. The charm measures approximately 3/4″ round, and would make a unique gift for anyone – including you!

Wah lah!

After several delays, the Rubenerd Show is back on the internet airwaves, now from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. I want in particular to thank Israel, my school buddy Felix and Dave for their support.

Damn those evil exploding air conditioners ;).
