Google Page Rank has been king of the web for far too long. They use a “mysterious” and “magical” formula whose inner workings is only barely understood by the public. GPR also has a certain amount of manual human adjustment to weed out those that “cheat the system.” How biased or unbiased this system is…
Spring Broke for Easter Break
I am so poor. Buying a Playstation 3 with your tax refund will do that to you, though. You better believe I’m bringing that bad boy to Mom’s house for Easter though. Yes sir, I will be sitting on the couch racking up some mad points on PAIN and relaxing to Everyday Shooter or working…
Pandora Music Radio
If you haven’t already, you should definitely point your browser over to Pandora, previously covered here. They’ve updated the interface, but the concept is still the same – you go create a radio station based on an artist or band you enjoy, or a song you really like. Then, they try to match that as…

Free Rental Promo Codes for Red Box Movies
A couple days ago, I wrote about getting a free rental from a Red Box movie rental machine using a promo code I got when I signed up and gave them my e-mail. Those codes can be used once per credit card, so if you had a credit card and say, a check card with…
The Raging Tech: Burger Slayer!
That’s right, the RT is now a certified Burger Slayer! Yesterday on my way to get my new bed, we stopped at a Hardee’s and noticed they had a promotion going on. Ordering any 2/3 lb burger got you a free Burger Slayer dog tag. So of course, my friend and I both ordered 2/3…
