- Amazon.com makes shopping waaay too easy…
I’ve just spent another good chunk of money on Amazon.com… I’ve come to the conclusion that Amazon is the new online Wal-Mart (minus the child labor): it sells practically everything under the sun at a lower price than you can find anywhere else. On top of that, there are some super useful tools that effectively […]

About a month ago, I was flipping channels and saw an episode of Newlywed, Nearly Dead? on HGTV…oh yes, I said HGTV, that channel with all the house flipping, renovation, and design shows that I love. So anyway, this particular episode showcased the wife attending a “sensual dancing” class to re-spark the romance that was […]

It appeared that sometime between Sunday and Thursday, a large storm or gust of wind had tipped over the container so that the […]

The day after it arrived, I attempted to downgrade the OEM Vista to XP Pro using a disk I had before. Sounds easy enough right? It’s been two weeks […]

- Eddie Izzard: Stripped in Atlanta
I’m a huge fan of Eddie Izzard and finally got the chance to see him perform live last night at the Cobb Energy Center. To be honest, i was a bit nervous about the show because I looked up a few Chicago reviews of this tour beforehand. Normally, I don’t do this kind of thing […]

- MacBook Air
If you remember, I was just complaining about Vista two weeks ago… coincidentally (and special thanks to my co-worker Blaine), I was given a MacBook Air for work yesterday. How crazy! Like any piece of shiny, new and expensive gadget, I delicately opened the packaging and attempted to use dainty fingers (with my pinky in […]
