I have had many posts lately about gas prices. I often take aim at people that drive huge, gas consuming vehicles just to be flashy. I love the irresponsible and ignorant attitudes that I am confronted with. The general message is “It’s my right as an American to consume as much gas as I want!”. Sure! […]
I had to get a case for my iPod Nano because it kept getting small scratches along the back of it. So I went to Staples and found the DLO HybridShell case for $15. There were others there that cost $20 and $25, but I decided on this one for one reason only, the non-slip […]
I am really glad I decided on the Wii over the Xbox 360. Here are the reasons:
The price is $100 cheaper.
The system comes with games, actually several games on with the Wii Sports game disc.
It also comes with built in wireless so no need to buy an adapter separately.
I get exercise when I play.
Simple controllers […]
Every day there seems to be some kind of new report because somebody did a math problem and came to the conclusion that we are going to run out of some resource. Lately the big story is oil. I’ve heard we will run out of it by 2020. Another article says 2050. I’ve also read […]
I knew something was up with this story when it came out. Remember a few months ago, these photos of a lost tribe were revealed? Well, it turns out, the tribe is not so lost after all. They have been known about since 1910. As usual, news outlets were quick to pick up on the […]

It started with the lack of envelopes at the ATM’s so that […]
I just spent $175 at the grocery store. I hardly even spend over $100 usually, but today I managed to spend $175. Granted I had quite a few items such as dish washing liquid and laundry detergent push that figure higher, but there were a few groceries that scooted under the radar and turned out […]
According to Compete.com, Ebay traffic is down 11% from the level it was a year ago. It’s a result of the huge auction site leaving their smaller sellers in the dust in favor for the bigger businesses. Ebay has clearly lost the vision that got them to be one of the biggest sites on the […]
It looks like all of the reports and stories are finally getting through to Americans. People are finally realizing that bottled water is just a huge ripoff. A recent report states that bottled water costs 4,000 times what ordinary tap water costs. In an staggering economy, Americans have no room in their wallets for such […]
I have worked for 8 companies in my life. I think out of the 100’s of managers I’ve met, there are only about 1% that are actually smart enough to perform their job. I define a manager as being stupid if he or she does stupid things. One previous manager of mine would watch porn […]
