Apple, That’s a Poor Way to Treat a Customer

August 13, 2008

This is one of those times I’m gonna vent. So get ready… Yesterday I was at Costco to get meat to make my world famous Souvlaki when I decided on a whim to purchase an Apple iPod Touch. This thing sells for $489, so right off the bat it had better be good. Now, I [...]

Anti-Bacterial Soap Inhibits Testosterone Production

June 2, 2008

I was reading in the Mens Health magazine for May 2008 and came across an article called “Cleanliness is Next to Girliness” which goes a little something like this: What’s on your washcloth? An antimicrobial ingredient in some soap may sap your testosterone levels, say University of California at Davis scientists. They found that when [...]

Best Buy “Bait and Switched” Me

May 27, 2008

So, today my friend Bruce gave me a call and told me that Best Buy had a 42″ 1080p LCD HDTV on sale for $796.99. In fact, he had just come from our local Best Buy in Frisco, TX where they had 17 of them in stock. He said it looked pretty good, and recommended [...]

The Complete Emergency Preparedness Kit

March 12, 2008

The worst thing about emergencies is that you just can’t predict them. The only good news is that you can plan for them. Since people are always under duress when an emergency actually occurs it is prudent to assemble a kit that you can pull out when needed that covers most bases. So, here is [...]

New Gift Ideas Section on the Blog

February 16, 2008

Today I added a new Gift Ideas section on the blog (just look up at the top) because I thought it might be helpful to share things that I’ve found which would make for birthday, anniversary, wedding and other gifts. I get a lot of catalogs, and I do a lot of shopping in general, [...]

This soap looks like it belongs in a thrasher film. Seriously, its one thing (as a play on words) to have “hand-shaped” soap, but these tiny baby hands look like they were just lopped off a fresh batch of infants. They were created from molds based from doll’s hands and the set will run you [...]

Tips on Pumping Gas

December 12, 2007

I don’t normally pass along things that circulate the Inter-Tubes via e-mail, but this is pretty interesting information – if it is all true. I have no idea where it originated, but a family member sent it to me. I’d be curious if anyone could actually vet this info and prove / disprove it’s validity. [...]

Amazon Unbox Movie and Television Downloads

November 7, 2007

I’m a big, big fan of Amazon.com. They really won me over when I bought a $4,000 camcorder from them a while back, and I’m also a member of Amazon Prime which is an $80 annual fee for unlimited next day shipping. Amazon has now launched a new service they call Unbox which I suppose [...]
