So my brother tells me about Mozy. it's unlimited space and it's only $5 a month and they back up your external drive, too. Wow. Sounded too good to be true. So I charged my credit card and jumped right in. The Mac software for Mozy never worked. Then I started reading horror stories on the internet about Mozy being slow, not working, not being able to completely restore everything. So I asked

I haven't been more motivated by a video, than I have by the following video. Turn it up and be ready for your heart to beat out of your chest and your blood to run hot. It's very aggravating and true. Please post a comment after you read this.

I had my van done in a car wrap by GIWRAPS.com. It wasn't a bad job. It's supposed to be warrantied for 3 years.I was very pleased. So I decided to get a 10ft banner done for my BBQ sauce at the Orange County Market Place. The weird thing was, they changed their location. Okay. No problem. Then I find out they changed their name to WRAPONE. Now I am worried.I never really asked why. If their work

We are definitely in a period of battles when it comes to the technology world. One of the problems is that this country is still living off of old laws and as technology grows, so should the laws. But they don't!Ironically the top three items sold on the internet are also the three battles going on in the technology world. Music, Movies, and Books.CLASH #1: MUSICThis is the most famous of the

Okay. To save time and space on this blog entry. I am going to tell you a readers digest version of what happened.On 10/10/08 I woke up at 4:30am. Half my body had no feeling. The right side of my entire body had no feeling, whatsoever. It only lasted 20 minutes, but I went to the ER anyway just to be safe.The ER spent 4 hours running tests and taking blood and they still didn't know why this

let me get this straight:1. The Democrats wanted the bailout2. The Republicans stopped the bailout3. The Republican President Bush gives the automakers a bailout4. The Democrats accuse Bush of using this scenario to better himself.Now I am not exactly sure when Bush stopped being a Republican and stopped being President. I am not even sure which happened first. I am sure that this was the worst

I have been told that I am too negative. I have been told that this blog isn't the most positive blog and doesn't help me in any way. I even tried to stay away from this blog and stop complaining so much in my life.Then it came in the mail.

My local paper is the Orange County Register in Southern California. I am sure it's pretty comparable to any hometown fish wrap.Every morning when the newspaper hits my doorstep it is full of news that everyone already knows about. In fact, the news in the OC Register is as much as 24 hours old. News information that we read the night before immediately on the internet or that was SMS'd to my

Last year I did a cooking video called "How to peel an egg" and the number one comment on Youtube what about how much water I wasted rinsing the egg off for 10 seconds. Seriously! People complained that I wasted 10 seconds of running water to cool the egg off.I can guarantee that the people who wrote those comment NEVER turn off their water when they soap up in the shower.

I just heard from the AP news wire that Washington Mutual (WAMU) has a new CEO. They have told the new CEO that if he can keep WAMU alive to 2009, he will receive an $8,000,000 bonus.I had to play back the AP Video three times to make sure I heard what I heard. Where do they have 8 million dollars to just give away. They are in dire straights and yet there still sees to be millions. How about

I don't know much about buying and selling homes, or the stock market, or banking, but I do know this.It seems that this whole economic mess came from banks giving out bad loans to people who should not have received them. It's like anyone could get a loan and these loans had fluctuating interest rates. Greed was running rampant. Then the economy started getting bad and the interest rates went up

Last night I ordered Pizza Hut Garlic Parmesan wings. Here is what the ad looks like:Pizza Hut was even kind enough to warn me about the intense flavor. That's nice. The above image is the boneless, but I chose to get the bone-in version. It's the cannibalism in me I guess.Here is what they delivered to my door.I never liked Pizza Hut, but for some insane reason my family keeps buying from them.

My wife wanted to celebrate our 10th Wedding anniversary so she booked us on the 4 day Encenada, Mexico. This was just to see if we wanted to do a 7 day cruise next year.We arrived at the Carnival Cruise parking lot in Long Beach, CA.

I was so happy and they always were there for me until....... They decided to raise my interest rate on the one card to 16.9% and the other card 21%.

First the banks get to rake in the bucks on tons of loans and then they get to dump their bad loans on the American people? I don't think so.Here is how Mr. Royce puts it (btw, he is voting against

I am feeling way better now that the iPhone is having major problems.Most of you have been following my iPhone frustrations. I am the only one that has to pay $499 for my iPhone if I want one because I am an unloved AT&T customer that isn't due for a phone upgrade until January. So I have to pay the "hell will freeze" over price of $499, if I want one.Well, it seems that the discount $299 price

There is a show on PBS called Frontline. I was watching an episode titled "Young and Restless In China".It was a little shocking to find out that China built huge power towers in the middle of little towns to help with the coming Olympics. It was more shocking to know that over a million people were pushed out of their homes and their homes were demolished for the Olympics.China is so worried

Not that I like it all the time, but for most of the time it turns out well.I blogged awhile back on the Gphone and that it was coming. That story died down and I thought I had spoke a little too soon. Well, that story has resurfaced. Here is a link to

Oh, how sweet this post shall be!!!!I am still the only one on my block without an iPhone 3G, but I come to find out that is a good thing.It seems that in the greediness of Apple and AT&T, most of the iPhones that were sold today were still unable to be used due to server crashes. It seems that they could not activate most of the phones due to high traffic to the servers. So they sent people home

As I am typing this, AT&T is burning me.I am on hold with AT&T right now waiting to inform them how totally screwed they are.Let me tell you my story:Two weeks ago, I was told by AT&T that ANYONE could by the iPhone 3G for the $199 (8 gig) or the $299 (16 gig) price. No matter what. I was told you didn't need to be eligible for an upgrade.One week ago, I was told sorry, Apple changed the rules. (

It drives me crazy to see lazy people. It drives me even crazier to see Christmas Lights up on April 15th. I drove my street and immediately found 4 houses with Christmas decorations on them.

So the managers/supervisors at ALL the California Starbucks were taking tips that they shouldn't have. Wow!It seems that there is a California law that states managers/supervisors cannot take any part of the tips made by it's employees.Starbucks seems to think they are above the law and have been giving the managers a piece of the action. Ouch! I never would have tipped, had I known that. I would

My friend Adam told me that he bought his son a three-in-one table top game (pool, hockey, ping pong).Now I think those three-in-ones are eye sores, but he wanted his son to have one and that's his prerogative.So Adam told me a week later that he realized it was too big and he really had no place to set it up in his house. It's brand new and still in the box. The only problem was that Adam

First let me show you the story about how you can't Homeschool in California anymore without teaching credentials. Click Here for story. California is 48th in the US for their public school system. That's means there are only two states worse than us.That's why they are forcing us to put our kids in public school. Too many people are pulling their kids out. No one wants the shootings, rapes,

So I am in the bathroom reading my INC magazine and their is an article on Twitter. It's says "Twitter - total brilliance or utter nonsense?"For those of you who don't know what Twitter does, it's like AIM, but shorter. It's a quick snippet of a thought that you can send to everyone you know.For example, let's say I am watching an amazing show on National Geographic. I can send out or Twitter

Have you ever read an email and not known if the person who sent it was angry or not?Emails are a horrible way to communicate. Let me give an example. Let's say I write my wife at work asking if she would like to go to Outback Steakhouse for dinner. She writes back "whatever".What does that mean. Does that mean she doesn't care if we go out? she doesn't care where we go out? She is mad that I

When are we going to stop the archaic forms of politics in the United States.How about no Republican or Democrat parties. The lines are blurred anyway.

Usually I do nothing but complain on "All That Bugs." In fact, it's been so easy in the past to just complain about Best Buy being a horrible store. They have been infamous for inventing the restocking fee, dragging out the repair game as long as possible before giving you a replacement product, and they never EVER answering their phones.I would always hate going down there and finding out they

If you had been standing in my front yard yesterday, you would have seen three of my neighbors putting Christmas Lights on their house. IT'S DECEMBER 16TH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!! Why bother. In exactly 9 days they will need to be taken down. I know some people leave them up until New Years Day, but why? As soon as the last present is yanked out from under the tree, Christmas is officially

After buying my first song on itunes, I have come to realize that it's in a lousy format that works no where but ipod.No one online will sell you a song in the mp3 format. They will sell you in M4p format or WMA format, but not mp3.So now if I want to buy music online I must do the following, because Microsoft and Apple think we are idiots.

Either way, it's was the deciding factor on whether I would give into iTunes.I know can keep my music in the format that works in the car, home, and mp3 player.I bought my first downloaded CDfrom Christianbooks.comThe CD was from FM Static.

Well it never fails.Everyone feels it for a slight moment. That sadness of no presents under the Christmas tree and the realization that it's all over.You turn off the Christmas music.

WHO DECIDED THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BOYCOTT THE WORD CHRISTMAS?????I grew up with Merry Christmas. What is wrong with that? Oh yeah, they got rid of the ten commandments on buildings, and they are trying to get rid of "In God We Trust", and they are trying to remove "one nation under god" in the pledge of allegiance, and now they are trying to get rid of the word Christmas.I have two questions:1.

It's very difficult when you give life changing advice. I better go slow with her and not push her in any direction. I will give her pros and cons on each way she can go. boy, I better pray on this one!!!

Okay. Day 1 of blogging. Not bad so far. A little lost, but I think I can do this. I have so much I want to tell myself. :-) hahaha. I feel like I am talking in an empty room. This blog is going to be dedicated to all my complaints. Every stupid thing anyone does. Things that bother me and any other ignorant act that I witness. Welcome to my Blog soapbox.
