Football, Baseball, and Basketball Oh My
Sports. Some of us hate them and some of us love them. I fall on the hate them end of that scale. But I am surrounded by fans so I see more than my fair share of sports without even wanting to. At least I am luckier than most as I only have football to…

Boo to CSI’s Two and a Half Deaths
I don’t know about you but I hate TV that tries to incorporate TV into the show. Tonight’s CSI really kind of sucked. The regular cast had horrible dry puns that did not work and were very tired. The guest stars all of which are pretty decent actors seemed as if they were given the…

Flight of Your Life for Your Life
The other night coming home from work I heard a report about a motorcycle accident on the turnpike that had caused traffic in both lanes to be closed due to a helicopter landing to airlift the person to the hospital. You know it is a bad accident when you hear the word “airlift”. Thank goodness…

The Doggy Doo Dilemma
Doggy poop is a huge problem, especially if you live next to my neighbors who do not pick up the poop out of their yard. It is horrible walking out to the car past that crap. I do not look forward to the summer months, not one bit. I was a good neighbor and instead…

Protect Yourself and The Ones You Love
Being online all the time I am quite concerned about identity theft. Then I watch TV shows like Dateline and my fear level rises even further. Did you see that episode where they showed how quickly and easily thieves can get a hold of not just your credit card numbers, but your social security numbers,…

What Are You Watching?
Fellow blogger AlyCat posted a question asking what movies you watched over and over while growing up that wore out your VCR. Good question. Unfortunately, being a child of the seventies we did not have a VCR. In fact we did not have a VCR until I was almost out of High School and then…

Shopping For Shopping Carts
I have used quite a few online shopping cart systems over the past few years like Yahoo, Miva Merchant, osCommerce and even custom programmed shopping carts. Each one has its benefits and its drawbacks. If you are looking for an eCommerce solution I suggest you check them all out but be sure to include AmeriCommerce…

As Seen On TV Package Shark Pro
Many As Seen On TV items are really just a bunch of crap you don’t need. The Package Shark Pro might be one of those pieces of crap. Not sure where you stand on it. I bought one from Boscov’s they have a small as seen on tv section in their housewares section. By buying…

Let SocialSpark Spark Your Imagination
I signed up for this new service called SocialSpark about a week ago. To some degree it is a cross between MySpace and PayPerPost. You get to meet up with merchants and other bloggers on a more personal level. Signing up is easy and free. Just know you either have to be using FireFox or…

Star Trek References on Numbers
Catching up on my DVR recorded TV shows this weekend and I spotted some more Star Trek references on a CBS show. Any chance CBS/Paramount moved the new Trek movie date from Xmas 2008 to May 2009 so they could exploit their TV series for additional exposure and try to make Trek more hip? Geek…

AntWorks Illuminated Ant Farm Too Cool for Kids
As a kid I always wanted an ant farm. I never got one so maybe that is why I think the ant farms of today are really pretty sweet. Heck these ant farms are not just your average ants and dirt sandwiched between two pieces of plexi-glass, oh no! These suckers are high tech. AntWorks…
