Well, the time is upon us. Winter is here and it’s going to get cold for just about everyone. If you live in Hawaii or another year round warm area then you can skip this post. The Energy Information Administration forecasts that the average household will spend $928 on heating their home this winter. You could [...]

More on T-Mobile’s New Rate Plans

teddgcm — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:00:35 +0000

In my previous post I explained a little about T-Mobile’s new rate plans. I thought I would expand a little on them this time because there are a few caveats. These plans, called the “Even More” and “Even More Plus” will be taking the place of EVERY other plan T-Mobile offers. All features such as [...]

Some time ago I ran across some of Robert Llewellyn’s YouTube videos. If you don’t know, he is the actor that played Kryton on Red Dwarf, hosted Junk Yard Wars, and narrated numerous How Do They Do It shows. Recently he has begun a rather interesting show called CarPool that he films from his car [...]

Infomercial Tactics Bleeding to Normal Commercials

teddgcm — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:02:59 +0000

In the past, when I would watch an infomercial, usually because I was too lazy to go change the channel or find the remote, it amazed me how they exaggerated the way similar products worked. For example, an infomercial for a food processor would show a man or woman attempting to cut vegetables and doing [...]

Ok guys, I have been sitting on this information for weeks because I was forbidden to mention it, but since T-Mobile now has released, officially, the new rate plans I can finally talk about them. If you haven’t yet seen the commercials or the website you are in for a treat. T-Mobile has slashed prices for [...]

Outlook 2009

teddgcm — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:41:48 +0000

No, I’m not talking about the Microsoft product. I’m talking about the outlook on life. This is not going to be some self help gooble gobble or any such nonsense, just some insights that I have found in my own life and I thought I would share in hopes others have had the [...]

It’s Pumpkin Carving Time!

I love Halloween! It’s so fun to dress up and scare the bejeebers out of people. Not to mention the CANDY! Can you say an excuse to buy a ton of Peanut M&Ms? I knew you could! This year I will have my ten year old nephew to help me get ready [...]

Do You Know How To Twitter?

teddgcm — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:00:25 +0000

I really should be revising my research paper that is due tonight but I got to thinking about this thing called Twitter. My 12 year old niece asked me what exactly is Twitter and i had to stop and think. While limited to 140 characters it is not really a text message I don’t think. [...]

Max Raven’s Health Poor

teddgcm — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 05:52:20 +0000

Ok, for those who do not know, Max Raven is a man who, some time ago, frequented the chat on the Wyldryde IRC channel. He is known for his huge heart and willingness to help anyone, anytime. I once read in a news story that as he was walking through the park in New York, [...]

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
