How many times have you called certain unnamed technical support or customer service numbers only to find they’ve outsourced their call centers to another certain unnamed middle eastern country? Too many times, my friend. Too many times. If you’re from certain unnamed foreign countries where your accent is thick or you find that native people…
MobileTalk Packet8 International VOIP on Your Cell Phone
MobileTalk is a new technology from VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) and internet telephony company Packet8 that allows you to make VOIP calls internationally from anywhere in the United States at severely reduced rates. I have entered the MobileTalk Packet8 video contest, and created a brief video (yes, it’s on YouTube) to submit to the…
The Super Bowl of Rodeo
During the first week of this past December, the University of Nevada – Las Vegas held the annual National Finals Rodeo which is the main event or “the Big Show” for rodeo in the United States. You may not be all that into rodeo, but if you’re like me you tune in to the major…
Christmas Countdown: < 1 Day Left!
It’s Christmas eve, and yes, I’m blogging instead of spending time with family. It’s not because I’m a bah humbug or any of that. This is how my family spends time together over holidays. We have our times when we hang out and talk, and then of course, we have our down time. I bought…
UK: DialaFlight
The other day I blogged about getting great deals on travel to Disney World, and I thought today I’d talk to you about traveling from another country altogether: the UK! A lot of my most favorite rock and punk music has come out of the United Kingdom. Americans are often accused of being too America-centric,…

Five Hour Drives
Tomorrow evening after work, I have a five hour drive most of the way across North Carolina to go home to see my parents and family for the holidays. I have a whole week off work, which is nice. I just wish I could instantly teleport there. That’d be nice. Santa, as a Christmas gift…
Need a Vacation? Take a Walk in Ireland
I’m not normally one to think of a walk as a good idea for a vacation. I think that’s because I’m pretty lazy. But if there’s good motivation, sure, I’ll go for a walk. For example, if a beautiful woman wanted to go, I’d totally be up for it. If there was a beautiful sight…
Into the Wild
I’ve always thought of exotic vacations as something reserved for really rich business men. Especially something as cool as a safari. Besides being named after an awesome web browser on the Mac, safaris just have the added cool factor of being all about hunting. But not for bears, or deer, or quail. Can you imagine…
In Search of Sanity
Seriously folks, I can’t wait until the 21st of December. That is the very last day of work before a week-long paid vacation for Christmas. I’m going to go home and see my mom and dad and sister, relax, enjoy not doing anything (except maybe taking care of my mom) and sit on my butt.…
