This week has been quite a busy one for me. Only 2 posts since the last The Net post last Sunday. The main reason for this is Halo 3! I have been playing that non-stop! I have already beat the game and have been playing online a lot. So many of my friends have it…
The Power of Endorsement
If you think of any product or service there is usually someone famous or popular in that niche endorsing that product. Why is that? Say it’s a hockey stick and one of the best hockey players Sidney Crosby says it’s a good stick. I’m sure a lot more people will go buy it the stick…
Halo 3!!
It seems like Halo 3 has taken over my life…haha! I waited in line for about an hour and a half to get it too! It was actually the first time I have waited in line on launch day to get a game or anything for that matter. It was cool and the people who…
The Net Vol. 1
Sunday is usually a down day for me. I am usually preparing a review for ThinkComputers and taking it easy. But I decided I would start a weekly post where I let you know the happenings of the net for that week. Not just with blogs, but with regular websites too. Hopefully I can keep…

Get More Traffic with BlogRush

Not Sleeping Well
If you may have noticed I haven’t had a lot of good posts lately on the blog. I have a lot of good ideas and a list of blog topics to write on my Netvibes, but I have had a problem for over a week now, I’m not sleeping well at all! The biggest problem…
My New Toy!
Well as you can see I got myself an iPhone. Now I said before that I would not be getting an iPhone and originally I was not planning on it. Over the past month I have been looking at getting a new phone. The Audiovox SMT5600 I was using was so old that the battery…

Why I Enjoy Trade Shows
I really love going to trade shows. Trade shows are events / expos where computer and electronics companies show off their products. Each company has a booth with their latest and most popular products. I usually only end up going to one trade show a year, CES in Las Vegas. Trade shows are usually expensive…
The Importance of Private Domain Registration
I have never really thought that private domain registration was important, but when someone does not like you or wants to just bother you that is one of the easiest ways for them to get your personal information. If your domain is not private all of your personal information will show up on the whois,…
Lunch at Redfin Blues
There are not many places in Pittsburgh where you can get good seafood, let alone eat outside and have a great view of the river. Redfin Blues is a small restaurant right on the river that is a perfect place to eat on a nice summer day. Redfin Blues is located at Washington’s Landing on…
Finding New Blogs

Now On Justin.tv
I posted before about lifecasting. I started lifecasting over on Ustream and it was a lot of fun, but the whole reason I wanted to start lifecasting was because I heard about Justin.tv. I signed up for Justin.tv over a month ago and I finally got into the beta. Justin.tv has a much larger viewer…
