Nicolas Cage was born today in 1964, making him a whopping 44 years old today. Cage is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola. He was born Nicolas Kim Coppola, but changed his name to try and make a career on his own. Cage got his first big break in film while reading lines with auditioning…
Die With Your Boots On
So maybe you’re starting your own “bucket list” and have decided to live life to the fullest, take every risk, and live like there’s no tomorrow. Or maybe, you’ve moved to Texas. Or maybe you just like the fashions of the Old West or the modern-day ranch hand. In any of these scenarios, you’ll need…
Sick As a Dog Now…
So apparently all that cold weather has caught up with me. I also haven’t taken my multivitamin for a couple weeks, and that’s my own fault. I woke up this morning (on my new queen size bed!) and felt like I was swallowing daggers. My head was hurting all over, and my sinuses were all…
A Non-Google Phone Service
I last wrote about Grand Central from Google, but it’s more or less in Beta and you have to have an invite in order to get in. Also, you may not like Google and may have an inclination to boycott all things Google, just on principle. Either way, you should check out Ifbyphone.com – this…
Google Grand Central
I’ve been using Google’s Grand Central service while it’s still in beta to get a second phone number to use with my business. I didn’t want a land line phone in my house, nor did I want a second cell phone. I also didn’t want to necessarily give out my cell phone number to everyone…
Brr! I Said It’s Cold In Here
Sorry, I was having a flashback to the movie Bring It On for a minute there. This week has been colder than the White House approval ratings! (Zing! Cue Jay Leno’s band that plays music after each of his jokes that aren’t that funny.) But seriously, it’s averaged around 15 degrees F low and maybe…
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…
Trade Your Used Video Games Without the Gamestop Tax
The video game industry has some of the smallest profit margins on earth. Unless you’re a game store retailer who also deals in trading in used games. If you’ve ever been to a Gamestop or an EB Games and tried to trade in your old games, they’ll buy them from you for $3 – $5…
Never Let Tracy Morgan Into Your Home
I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Tracy Morgan behave as though he has his sanity. I know he’s just an actor. I know he’s a very funny man. But I would not let him near my kids. You know, if I had kids. Still, don’t let him into your home. There is no telling…
Florida Says Green Energy Sources are ‘Keys’ to Success
Back before the writer’s strike, lots of TV shows were starting to air episodes with themes about being more environmentally friendly, or going “green.” This blog, in fact, is hosted on a “green” web site host. I didn’t even know web site hosts did much polluting – but apparently they’ve purchased credits to make them…
