For most of us I’m sure a disaster would be a rather large deal. I mean, how many types of disasters are there? And any one of them (barring an volcanic eruption for those of us not near a fault line) can happen to anyone at any time. I just found AxcessPoints, a site that [...]

Distractions-a-plenty for your Mac
Its not often that I tote the Mac banner, so please take it to heart when I tell you about Mac Games and More. I found this site while cruising on my PC and thought “I gotta get a mac”. But instead of spending a few thousand dollars just to play games from the site, [...]
Life Without Television
A coworker of my wifes commented once on a show he saw the previous night. My wife listened and went about her work and when he asked her a question about it, she responded “We dont have a TV”. Her coworker was, to say the least, flabbergasted. He said something to the effect of “You [...]
Merchant Accounts redux
This is the latest example of the just missed it form of luck I seem to be having lately. You see, over the last week I have decided (with some discussion with my partner in cyber-crime) to dissolve our hosting business and pursue work that actually makes us money. One of the biggest gripes I [...]
Harry Potter 7
At the time of this writing, Friday 9:15 pm, I am sitting in Barnes and Noble waiting for 11:15 to come around so I can purchase my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. The crowd here is, to say the least, eclectic. There are many folks from all walks of life from young [...]

Seems someone who lived in our building let their father use her apartment. While there, he started something cooking [...]
I hate moving
OK. Maybe I don’t really hate it, but it is a terrible bother. I don’t mind moving into a better place. The new place we have has room for all 4 of us, plus a little office mezzanine thing for my wife and I’s office (no more kids pushing buttons; yay). I don’t mind, very [...]
Its… Alive!
Yes, thats right kids, its Alive. And if you are reading this and don’t know what I am referencing, then shame on you. I am speaking not of a hideous creation of Dr. Frankenstein, but of the Alive Web Directory; a human edited web directory for the masses. I know what you are saying; what [...]
Citi Financial woes
Does anyone out there use Citi Financial for their personal or car loans? If so, do you like them? Are they on top of your account? My problem with them is mostly that I cannot for the life of me get a straight answer out of anyone I talk to from there. Every agent I [...]
