Hello, everyone!
I'm Sacha Chua, open source geekette and m|ph guest blogger for the month of June. I'll be writing on a twice-weekly schedule (Wednesday and Friday), so check back often!
When m|ph asked me if I could guest-blog, they probably remembered me as the wearable computing geek who wandered around with a
head-mounted display. Little did they know I'd come a long way from my gadget-oriented pursuits.
"I don't blog about gadgets or high tech," I warned them. "I write about productivity and what people can do with what they have."
"Sure. You'll bring balance," they said.
(What, balance to the Force?)
Over the next few weeks, you'll hear about podcasting and productivity, free software and fun gizmos that will expand your mind without hurting your pocket. I'm here to share some tips and help you kick ass with whatever technology you can get your hands on.
To give you a sneak preview of what's up ahead, here's my
favorite portable device: the Hipster PDA.
Shocked? Read more about why the Hipster PDA is the latest and greatest this Friday.

OH MY GOSH!
SAAAAACHAAAA! Rock on, friend! :D
Wow! she makes me realize some us readers and bloggers of m|ph are pseudo geeks.
Oh, there's nothing pseudo about us. Geekiness isn't about buying gadgets, after all. I know some incredibly geeky and fun people who can do insane things with a piece of paper.
I'll be watching out for your entries. I always believed that having the best and latest gadget doesn't matter if it doesn't make your life easier and more productive. You may have the snazziest gizmo around but if it makes your life more complicated and all you can do is play games with it, then that is wasted technology. Productivity is the primary goal of my gadgets.
Best Regards, sacha!

Cash-Out Refinance is actually a means of making your home mortgage loan bigger, but in a beneficial way. When you take out a cash-out refinance you have the possibility to take advantage of lower mortgage rates than you may currently have, and in addition to this you can release the built up equity you may have in the house and transform it into hard cash in your hand. This is then rolled into your existing cash out refinance balance, and charged the same mortgage interest rate. The largest advantage to a cash out refinance is that you can use the funds released to fund renovations and improvements to the house (thereby increasing it’s market value) or pay off expensive liabilities such as credit cards, pay-day loans, vehicle loans and bank overdrafts. When done correctly refinancing with cash out can actually end up reducing your expenses each month than you're currently paying and can deal to the liabilities that are dragging you down at the moment. Cashout refinancing also has the advantage of not being a second mortgage, and as a result the mortgage rate is dramatically lower than a 2nd mortgage loan would be.
