Cooking Club of America
I’m the type of person who likes to open junk mail just to see how ridiculous it actually is. Unfortunately, I’m also the type of person who is easily lured into the “too good to be true” trap. Thankfully, my husband has managed to instill in me the the intelligence to look up reviews before … Continue reading
Avoiding Boston traffic at all costs
In 2009, the average Boston-area commuter lost 48 hours to congestion, a figure the researchers came up with by comparing the amount of time drivers spent getting to work with the time those same trips would have taken if they had been able to travel at the posted speed limits. According to Boston.com Avoiding Boston … Continue reading
Netflix Price Hike Destroys Customer Opinions
Earlier today, Netflix announced a significant subscription price increase with their new plans. The changes will take shape on September 1, 2011 and offer a couple of different plans. The plan many Netflix subscribers are currently on is going away. In place of it will be two plans, one for streaming video playback and another … Continue reading
Hey Congress, Cut Your Own Spending First
For months Congress has debated how to cut spending, and it would appear that tonight we’ll see a federal government shutdown because they can’t make a decision. This will directly and immediately affect a lot of people I know. It will not immediately affect me but might after a few weeks. Some Americans are okay … Continue reading
Scrubbing Bubbles, Pledge, & Purex
I know it’s been a while since I’ve had anything to say here. We’ve had a very rough month. Before I get into what I’m actually posting about, I just want to say this. I miss our doggie. She was beautiful and perfect. This is a picture of Megan after she came back inside; it … Continue reading
When I Grow Up
When learning a new skill, you expect some hiccups. In fact, you sometimes expect a lot of hiccups. Those hiccups are the direct cause for many people to give up, quit, cave, throw in the towel… stop learning this new skill. After all, too many hiccups in a row can cause headaches, tension, and sometimes … Continue reading
Making Music With GarageBand
Mac users have been using GarageBand to record and create music for several years now. I didn’t try it out until this evening despite having it on my Mac for the past 2 years. At first glance I wasn’t sure if I would like GarageBand, but this pattern of musically creative starvation I find myself … Continue reading
Unemployment, Student Loans, and the like
Did you know that you have to make a certain amount of money in order to be eligible for unemployment benefits? What to know how much? I’ll give you a hint. It’s not $4,847.16. That’s how much money I made in 2010. Shouldn’t that say that I haven’t had a good job in AGES? Shouldn’t … Continue reading
Mac Desktop Clients for facebook and Twitter
Over the past few weeks I have searched high and low for the best Mac desktop client that can handle facebook and Twitter seamlessly. Among the various apps that I tried, three stood out from the pack (Seesmic Desktop 2, Socialite, and TweetDeck), but only one could ultimately win, so I put all three through … Continue reading
Using YouTube To Learn Guitar
You may have noticed that my profile photo on facebook is of an acoustic guitar. This is my first guitar; therefore, I am a noob and I pretty much suck. On the other hand, that will all change and as of today (five days after I started learning) I proudly know G A – third … Continue reading
College Sucks
As many of you may or may not know, I went to college to get a degree in math. My goal was to teach high school students about the wonderful world of mathematics. That goal has come true for one school year plus six weeks of another school year. I graduated with my degree in … Continue reading
Back Up and Running
As many of you may (or may not) be aware, I am notorious for killing computers. I killed my laptop and I killed my dell desktop. Mind you, neither of them were anything fantastic to begin with. However, I did it again. I managed to kill my husband’s computer, his $2000 HP media center computer. … Continue reading
Geek Squad Estimates Don’t Mean Anything
Customer Service 101 teaches that you should always give your customers an accurate estimate regarding delivery time and price. If you tell your customer it will take 3 days and $100 to fix something and it actually takes you 6 days and $300, you have failed Customer Service 101. On the other hand, if you … Continue reading
The Word "Epic"
Epic this, epic that – the word that seems to have no definition and that’s spreading like wildfire across the globe. What is the real meaning of this word and why is this word the word kids are using to describe nearly everything? This rant, to some people may be perceived as an epic fail … Continue reading
