Surprisingly enough I had never had any type of tea up until last year. The first tea I had was at Pho Minh, a Vietnamese place here in Pittsburgh. I really enjoyed it and started looking into tea, and since I watch Diggnation and follow Kevin Rose on twitter, I learned about loose tea. So…
July 2009 Thoughts
Wow another month that has flown by! I guess that what happens in the summer it seems like it goes by so fast! This month was a very productive one for me! ThinkComputers has really been pushing out content and our traffic has been up a lot. Since being in my new apartment it seems…
In Myrtle Beach for a Week
If you follow me on Twitter you know that I’m at the beach! Finally a much needed vacation! Last year I really didn’t get much of a vacation at all, I mean I did go on the CST mountain adventure, but that was only a weekend and it was only about an hour outside of…
Setting the Right Goals
Setting goals is something you should always do. Goals give you direction and help you stay focused on the task at hand. The thing is people often set the wrong goals for themselves and when they do not accomplish them they tend to get discouraged and that just leads to them being unproductive. I always…
The 4th of July in Pittsburgh
For the first time in quite a few years I actually went out and did something on the 4th of July. This year I decided to go hang out with friends and try and enjoy the day. We all headed down to station square and once down there we walked across the Fort Pitt Bridge…
City of Champions Parade
This was another post that I meant to get done last month, but with everything going on I didn’t have time to finish it. After the Pens won the Stanley Cup the city of Pittsburgh celebrated the victory by holding a City of Champions parade downtown. You know me being a crazy hockey fan I…
The New Apartment
As I said in my May 2009 thoughts post I would show you guys my new apartment! The apartment is right around the Shadyside / Squirrel Hill area right off Fifth Ave. I really like this area a lot; it is right around the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and Chatham College so there…
Stanley Cup Champs!
That’s right, your 2009 Stanley Cup Champs are the Pittsburgh Penguins! I was so excited that we were back in the finals and now it’s unreal that the Cup is back in Pittsburgh. This series with Detroit had it’s up and downs, losing game 1 and 2 in Detroit, coming back to Pittsburgh and winning…
What is Your Escape?
If you have a very time consuming job or work for yourself it can be very stressful. I know at times I always have work on my mind and it seems like everything revolves around work. That can not only be stressful for you, but they people around you will notice as well. So how…
Back in the Finals!
I meant to post this last week but the move kind of put it on the back burner. As many you know I’m a huge hockey fan. Being from Pittsburgh of course I’m a fan of the Penguins, I’ve been since I was a little kid. As you might have known the Pens went to…
May 2009 Thoughts
Wow what a crazy month it has been! I finally found a new apartment! So this month has been really crazy getting everything ready to move and still finding time to get reviews posted and maintain ThinkComputers. For that reason I barely blogged at all, which I intend to change this month once I get…
My Thoughts on Star Trek
It seems like May is a good month for Movies, we have Terminator Salvation, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and of course Star Trek. I usually don’t talk about movies here on the blog, but after seeing Star Trek last Friday I definitely wanted to talk about it. I really was never a Star Trek fan growing…
April 2009 Thoughts
April was an interesting month for me, I was quite busy with ThinkComputers getting things back on track and really pumping out reviews. As far as blogging goes I took it a bit easy only writing 9 posts, which is only 2 less than the month before, but I want to keep in increasing in…
