Don't use Expedia

Why I will never use Expedia again

I’ve been a big fan of online purchasing for a long time. Year after year, the process just keeps getting better and, perhaps more importantly, easier. Some things make a lot of sense to buy online – computer products, software, non-tailored clothing – you can almost always find much better deals and a much wider variety if you do your shopping online. Other things such as travel, food, and othe [continue reading ... ]

Movies you should’ve already seen

UPDATE: This list will be for movies from your college days or before, if you’re my age  (ie around 5+ years ago). ** I’ve nixed a few great movies simply because they’re just too recent. I’ll make another list/poll for those. Since the conversation started with Garden State (2004) – that will be the cut off. Also, anime has been nixed (because I’m close minded). In a recent [continue reading ... ]

This was my main source of help on the rooting Here’s the basic run down to get a sure thing: Make sure phone is not plugged into USB Turn off [continue reading ... ]

Cream of Wheat

Cream of Wheat is SO good!

Last night I was so hungry it was making me REALLY grouchy. It was one of those hungers where you are starting to lose it and just get delirious… only with a good helping of straight up MAD. I remembered that I had a box of Cream of Wheat in the pantry, so I got it out and started to boil up 2 servings of it (both for me). I asked my girlfriend if she wanted some and she answered with a laugh – I alre [continue reading ... ]

iPhone being killed by AT&T, will they switch to Sprint or Verizon

AT&T killing iPhone, helping Sprint and Android

Unless you are not an iPhone user or do not know anyone who is, then you’ve probably heard complaints about AT&T and their iPhone support (or lack there of). Shortly after the iPhone exploded on to the mobile phone scene and changed everything (kudos Apple), it had competitors trying to catch up. It took a long time before any other phones were even in the same area code as the iPhone because of itR [continue reading ... ]
