Every night, a young kid pulls into my parking lot around 11:00pm blasting his stereo in his 1995 Supra with tinted windows. All you can hear is Boom… ba boom ba boom. I don’t understand how listening to music at this level can be pleasant at all, but I guess it’s a poor attempt to […]
Finally, Verizon is going to buy out Alltel after they have been dancing with the idea for a while. It’s too bad, because this will no doubt degrade the superior service you usually get from Alltel. Alltel has much better offers as far as plans than Verizon. The options for phones will increase, but the […]
I complain about other people a lot in this blog. People can be stupid sometimes. So it’s only fair that I let myself have it sometimes. A few weeks back, I was at a gas station filling up my car with gas. While the gas was pumping, my girlfriend and I were giggling about a […]
When working the computer support hotline, I am annoyed at the amount of people that ask me about the weather.

I use Tivo, and I am getting tired of paying $13 a month just for a program guide. So I’ve been looking into some computer-based alternatives. Windows Media Center had been on my radar until some shows were blocked on May 12th. Users of Windows Media Center received and error message when attempting to record […]
It looks like Dell isn’t so “award winning” with customer service after all. A judge in New York has found the computer giant guilty of consumer fraud in relation to loans it offered customers that started at 0% and ended up often exceeding 20%. The ruling also references the poor customer service the customers received, […]
