Where Have I Been?

I know that I don’t write to often but May seemed to be turning into a month where I was going to be posting for about 3-4 times per week; way above my average.  Between May 1 and May 13, I posted 7 times.  Then came WicketPixe, the new WordPress theme that Chris and his [...]

College Rooming Options

I did my undergrad study at a small private school in Hickory, North Carolina called Lenoir-Rhyne College.  One of the things that I believe made L-RC very unique is the kind of rooming options that were possible.
Freshman had two options:

Buying an HDTV from a B&M Store Versus Amazon.com

Many people prefer to buy high-end electronics from an actual brick and mortar store. They probably do this for three reasons:

they get the opportunity to talk to a sales person while shopping

There are also shortcomings to shopping at a B&M [...]

Why I Blog Here

I think of my blogs as being editorials, not just a place where I rewrite an article that is located on another site. This is not a slap in the face to other people that do this. I just don’t like to repeat what someone else has already written. Unless I find an article that [...]

Don’t Purchase Memorex Media

A couple of weeks ago I was at my local Staples store and saw a great deal for blank DVD-R discs. In the past I used to purchase my discs over the Internet but it started to become a hassle. This was especially true when shipping was added to the overall cost ended up being [...]

What is Going to Happen to Thunderbird?

I don’t know how many of you actually go to Slashdot.org. The majority of my time reading about technology is spent reading Engadget and Gizmodo because their authors do a relatively good job of “spreading their wings.” I say relatively because it seems like a lot of their time recently as been spent talking about the [...]
