So we just bought a netbook with Windows 7 Starter on it – we are so used to our Windows Vista in our old netbook – we find that the Starter comes with limitations. You see you can’t even change it’s wallpaper for one and you can only run concurrent applications on a PC at [...]
I don’t even want to get started but some people are just a pain and definitely need some Acneticin. Why? they are not only crooks but they are crooks that are so ignorant – you really wanna smack them. A crook rented a game from us a month ago and instead of returning [...]
Going to college right after high school is considered the norm for most people, but I never did the college thing. I took a year of basic Accounting at the local community college and then promptly found work in a fish plant. It was hard to figure out what I actually wanted to [...]
There’s an online yard sale facebook group for around here and sometimes there’s good deals to be had. But with nearly 7000 members you have to be quick if something good gets posted cause chances are it won’t last long. In a lot of ways it’s better than driving around on the weekend [...]
Wanna listen to sports like ESPN while you are traveling home from work in an hour’s long ride on the train..?? I would need appetite suppressant to keep me from munching on junks. But now you can keep yourself occupied because ESPN has launched a new application for the iPhone, ESPN [...]

Every Tuesday or when I remember, I head over to The Escapist Magazine to check out the new review by Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation). Once a week he reviews a video game and typically rips it apart, but in a good way. They are very entertaining and in some cases have even gotten the [...]
Yup, it sounds like the title of a cheesy horror flick, but in fact it’s a new way to terrorize your friends. We’ve all seen the lovely e-cards that cheapskates friends like to send around during the holidays and special occasions. Company 81 has taken the greeting to the next level by allowing [...]
Lately I’ve been turning a lot of the websites I own into blogs. They’re easy to update this way and information can be sorted into categories or by tags, and entire blogs are very easy to search through. Changing the entire look is simply a matter of downloading a new theme and in [...]
Most of us get hours of enjoyment, or at least mindless entertainment, out of YouTube. User johnnyBwilson brings up an interesting point though, the fact that Google makes a shitload of profit off the backs of it’s users while providing them nothing in return. Except for free hosting of their videos of course, [...]
This is easily one of the coolest new games I’ve played in quite some time. It’s small and cheap ($9.95 to buy online through Steam) and offers near limitless play options. The game shares some vague similarities with the likes of Guitar Hero and DDR in that it’s a musical rhythm game, but [...]
You can get pretty much anything online these days, oftentimes cheaper than you could at a brick & mortar store. Provided you don’t mind paying for shipping and waiting a week or two for your purchases to arrive. Online shopping isn’t for everyone though, some don’t like to use their credit card online, [...]
I’m an old dog when it comes to graphic editing, I’m still using PSP 4.14 which has gotta be about 12 years old by now. Sooner or later I’ll have to upgrade to something newer and better though, and seeing things like free Photoshop Brushes and patterns is a good incentive. It’s great [...]
Last week I had a hard drive disappear from my network. Physically the drive was still there but the computer lost track of it. After unhooking it and re-seating the cables, it powered up again but upon spin-up I could hear a loud high pitched whine that isn’t normal for a hard drive. [...]
