*starts pulling hair out*

On my 5th call to Fuckershop my ‘problem’ with my order was escalated a 3rd time. What does that even mean anyway? Escalated to what? The guy says “This time we should hear something because I’m going to be very description in my report to show just how long this has been [...]

Facebook Junkie

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 [...]

Crocs for Every Season

I’ve been wearing Crocs in the summers for the last few years. They’re comfortable even though they’re a little ugly, but the main problem I have with them is that once the soles wear out they become very slippery when walking on wet pavement, particularly on painted sections like crosswalks. Aside from that [...]

This is a Pico 2 Projector and supposedly better than its forefather because it is a lot brighter, you can get this handheld I’m sure at best buy but when you have to pay like $349 for something like this.. would you really wanna pay that much..?? Well, if you have lots of spare [...]

The Mobile mouse 6000 was recently released in conjunction with a similar 5000 model. Both use BlueTrack and are comfortably sized without being too bulky to cart around. The [...]

What is Black Friday?

I don’t know if it’s that I’m Canadian or maybe I’ve just been living under a rock my whole life, but lately (the last couple of years) I keep hearing about these awesome “Black Friday” sales and never knew what it was. So now that we’re approaching the 2008 Black Friday specials I’m starting [...]

Console Carry Bag

I’ve been carting my 360 back and forth to work fairly often lately. At first I was just carrying it in one of those grocery store “green” bags, but sometimes it rains and winter is coming soon too so I wanted a better carrying case that would protect the system better. Worrying about [...]

Cool T-Shirts

There’s nowhere in this town to get cool T-shirts anymore. Well, not entirely true, but to find good ones loaded with gutter humor is rather difficult. I was surprised to find some good but cheap t-shirts online and when I saw this one I had to order it. Most of my current [...]

Shopping.. whee..

A lot of people we know having been popping out babies lately, that time of year I guess. Not all are having their own though, some are adopting baby girls from China. I must commend them on their decision, it’s certainly not cheap to adopt and they are giving the babies a much [...]

Unique Crafts from the Orient

I met my wife online many years ago, and after several years of typing back and forth and phone calls, she came to visit during Christmas, 2000. Shortly after she went back home I took a trip over there to visit her and spent 5 weeks in Asia. I spent the bulk of [...]

Overstock Coupons

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, [...]

Game Trading Zone

Back from Halifax now and of course, the EQ2 servers are down for database maintenance. Meh. Oh well, it gave me a chance to browse around a little and finally check out the Game Trading Zone. From what I’ve seen so far it looks like a good way to get rid of [...]
