I found this blog, and thought it was interesting enough to share. SunEGrl has lots of links to savings for online shopping, hotel and travel stuff, and other cool ways to save money. What caught my eye besides the savings, is that SunEGrl has recently purchased her first home, just like me. Some of what’s…
The Revolution Has Already Begun
In 2003, during the Superbowl, I saw this ad from IBM for their newly available publicly consumable computers with Linux pre-loaded. Even today, this commercial gives me hopeful chills. It’s a new age, and Linux isn’t just for techy geeks anymore:
Great American Seafood Cook-Off 2008
I maybe a tech guy, but the summertime always re-awakens my inner chef. This summer, I’ve been especially lazy in the cooking department because of my busy life and limited budget. (Buying a house ain’t cheap!) But I’m still a Food & Wine magazine subscriber, and I still like reading good recipes on the internet.…
Coming Soon: Logitech Harmony One Full Review
Hey everyone. Just a heads up – I received my Logitech Harmony One universal remote control – and it is completely awesome. The long and short of it is I like it a lot – it found devices no other universal remote has ever found for me before, and it even has provisional support for…
Hot Date: Olive Garden and Baby Mama
Last night I had a hot date with my girl. I showed up at her place and I was dressed up to try and look good for her, but it was pretty irrelevant next to the sight I saw when she opened the front door. She was gorgeous! She wore this little black dress she…
Put Your Ugly Mug on Anything
That’s right. You can put your ugly mug on anything, even an ugly mug! Or a t-shirt, or a mouse pad [Note: despite popular opinion, mouse pads are not feminine protection for mice], or a calendar, or just about anything else that can be printed on. What’s even better is you don’t have to sacrifice…
What’s So Great About Open Source, Anyway?
Today an article on Slashdot talks about how Sun is (finally) fully open-sourcing Java within this calendar year. For those not familiar, Java is a programming language used by a lot of different programmers and companies. You probably use Java at work or at home in some shape or form and don’t even know it.…
One Rank to Rule Them All
Previously mentioned Izea Ranks, is set to trump all other ranking systems. Alexa, Google Page Rank, Technorati, Blogjuice, and the other myriad of ranking systems are starting to get nervous, maybe even a little sweaty, over newcomer Izea Ranks. These other ranking systems all have their prolific search engine-based ranking algorithms and fancy mathematical formulas…
My Buzz on Canadian Club
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a BzzAgent – which means I take part in consumer-driven word-of-mouth campaigns. We don’t get any kind of serious compensation except getting to try products for free or at a serious discount, or we get t-shirts or other cool stuff. This week I received a Buzz kit in the mail…
Taxes Due Tomorrow & Jack Black on Piracy
Tomorrow is April 15th, the official deadline for us here in the United States of America to file our tax returns. If you haven’t filed them yet, you better get them postmarked by today. Also, don’t forget you can e-file, sometimes for free! Check out irs.gov for more information. As a member of my state’s…
