Yes, I pre-ordered the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet

admin — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:46:23 +0000

For $199 the Kindle Fire, Full Color 7″ Multi-touch Display, Wi-Fi is less than what I paid for my wife’s 3.5 inch screen iPod Touch last November. Here’s a quick breakdown of the “drawbacks” for the Kindle Fire – Only 8 gigs of storage. No camera. No GPS. No microphone. No problem. I have a [...]

Love the new NeedToBreathe album – The Outsiders

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:35:47 +0000

Okay, there is not a song on this album that I want to skip past. And I’ve got to tell you, that doesn’t happen very often with most albums these days. There’s usually a dog or two thrown in to round out the album that you just can’t stand and you can’t help but skip [...]

LEGO® Rock Band

admin — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:58:29 +0000

Wal-Mart is out of business

admin — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:44:47 +0000

As far as this household is concerned. A month ago or so I made my last visit to a Wal-Mart store. At the time I didn’t know it would be my last visit, but the friendly employees there ensured that it would indeed be the case. First, some background. I have never been a fan [...]

Things I have purchased in large quantities

admin — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 21:04:13 +0000

I was cleaning the basement over the weekend and came across some things that made me question if it was such a good idea to buy certain things in bulk or ‘jumbo’ sizes. So, just for fun, I thought I would make a list of some of the things I have purchased in bulk over [...]
