Turn Your Swag On
I love free stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm not cheap, but who doesn't love free stuff? And it's even better when you actually care about the stuff you can win. Recently I was messing around online and I started looking for a way to get a cheap iPod, ...
TIME TO UPDATE
Every year about this time I go through the same deal of updating my programs. Some are a breeze. A little notice comes up on my screen and I click on it and in a short period of time my program is up to date. However some programs are not so easy to...
I Love My Car

I am a geek, and I'm proud of who and what I am. The geeks of the world are often lampooned as being prone to engage in pointless debates on topics that most would consider mundane, or at best, just not that important. I proclaim to you that this is ...
The announcement I don't want to be making
Hey everyone - Well, I'll just come out and say it. Starting Monday of next week, GoodBlogs will no longer be able to pay $20 per blog post that makes it to the homepage. Or $10, or even $5. It isn't that we don't want to (because we do), it's just ...
Are we Too Dependent on Technology?
I am going to try to write about some different topics than just sports, topics that are controversial and topics where both sides can easily be seen. Leave a comment and let me know what you think! Pointers and good graces are always acceptable! Are...
