Well it is already November, and a few days ago we had the first snow of the year! This picture above is what I woke up to out of my bedroom window. I honestly hate winter! I’m not a big fan of snow and I really do not like the cold either. Also driving in…
The Give One Get One Laptop Program
The other day I was having coffee with my good friend Colin and he was telling me about the One Laptop Per Child program. I had heard of this awhile ago, but really have not heard much about it since. Well the laptop is real and it’s called the XO Laptop. Originally the laptop was…
The Net Vol. 7
Even though I have writers block I couldn’t miss a “The Net” post again! What’s really easy about writing these posts is that you are not actually writing the story, you are telling people about other stories. The only hard part is finding the stories. This week once again has been busy for me as…
Writers Block
As you may have noticed I have not updated since Tuesday. That’s not a good thing because I used to post once a day. There are many factors that have contributed to my lack of posts. Now these are not excuses, but I will explain them to you before I go into the other things….
Unlocking the 1.1.1 iPhone Firmware
As most of you know I purchased an iPhone back in September when Apple reduced the price by $200. After having it for only a few days I found out about the installer.app program and I was able to unlock the phone. By unlocking the phone I was able to customize the phone a lot…
The Net Vol. 6
Another week has gone by and I’m glad to say I have been working a lot on my time management and I am getting a lot more work done. I’m gradually adapting myself to working more hours and doing more things in one day. With the holiday season coming up I will need to work…
Lifecasting from Starbucks Today
If you check out the feed above you can see me live at Starbucks doing work. Sometimes when you work from home you need a change of scenery to make you feel more productive. If any of you didn’t know I lifecast on Justin.tv almost every day, but I’m usually sitting at my desk doing…
I won both RSS Contests!
As you know both Shoemoney and John Chow are giving things away for their RSS competition. John and Shoemoney wanted to see who could get the most new RSS subscribers in the month of October. Shoemoney started out with 10,833 subscribers and John had 8585 subscribers. As things stand right now Shoemoney has more RSS…
The Net Vol. 5
Well we missed The Net last week so this week are not going to miss it! Although I have been crushed with work all week long! This is the real busy time of year for hardware reviews, because a lot of companies are releasing new products for the holiday season. Also real quick does anyone…
Microsoft Takes a Stake in Facebook
This week Microsoft bought a 1.6 percent stake in Facebook for a whopping $240 million! That puts the value of Facebook at $15 billion! Now that is a lot of money for a company that does not even have 200 million in annual revenue. Myspace was bought back in 2005 for $580 million. Since that…
Just Shut up and Work!
One of the biggest reasons that I don’t get things done that I need to is that I procrastinate and put things off till they absolutely need to be done. This is something I’ve been trying to remedy to make things less stressful on myself. I was talking to John Chow the other day I…
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!
Ok so if you haven’t noticed I have not updated since the 19th! There are a few reasons for this. One I’ve been extremely busy with ThinkComputers, it’s the busy season for product reviews and they are kicking my ass! Two I’m on a horrible sleeping schedule! As I am writing this I have not…
Lunch at Joe's
If there are 2 types of food I really like they are steak and seafood! So when I go out to eat its either to a steak or seafood place. The other day Ashley and I went to Joe’s Crab Shack. Surprisingly there are only 2 in Pittsburgh! The next closest one is in Columbus…
A Nice Boost From SlickDeals
Monday seemed like a normal day for me. I had posted the review of the Antec P190 Case and was expecting it to go over quite well. For one Monday’s are usually the busiest days for ThinkComputers, traffic is a lot higher than the rest of the week. Also Antec products always go over well,…
My Schedule
A lot of people have sent me e-mails and have left comments asking me what my schedule is and how I manage to get things done. A lot of the time I don’t get what I want to done, but I do have a system. This system is not really that complex at all and…
