Canon 60D

I’m really looking to upgrade my current DSLR to something with a better build and something with HD Video capability.  There’s a couple things that still differ from the 7D like the number of AF points and the number of continuous frames per second, but I think those are things I can live without.   I’m [...]

Thanks, but no thanks.

First off, I don’t think I need a speech writer for what I’m going to say at our wedding.  Secondly, I wouldn’t hire a speech writer who can’t even spell the word speech.  The sad thing is that they’ve spent money to put this ad up.

Stop Paying So Much for Printer Ink

I ordered this printer ink on Amazon for our Canon MX700 ink jet printer.  It’s currently going for $5.86 plus shipping.  My first thought is, how the hell is it so cheap?  For this many cartridges, you’d probably be paying close to $80 bucks!  Well, I ordered it and it came it relatively quickly and [...]

Paying Off Debt

So I think I’m finally in a position to start making bigger payments on my two loans… one for my car, one for college.  I can’t wait to pay these things off and POCKET this money.  I plan on taking really good care of my car and running it into the ground, hoping that it’ll [...]

An Inconvenient Thermostat

Can someone tell me why they decided to make this thermostat operate on batteries? As if there aren’t already enough battery powered devices nowadays, I think they could’ve powered this thing through some wires in the wall. Every time the air conditioner is acting up, I have to replace/recharge the batteries and it’s annoying.

Rick Perry is an Idiot

Rick Perry has been quoted saying bombs have been going off in El Paso and bullets have been hitting City Hall… Where the hell does he read his news? El Paso is not the same place as Juarez and it sure as hell is a lot safer than the rest of the cities in this [...]

PS3 Can’t Read Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Formatted External Hard Drives :-(

Son of a b..  Now I realize why I had formatted my external as FAT32 (on a previous post I said it was NTFS, but I was wrong).  I usually transfer a bunch of tv episodes or movies from my Macbook Pro to my external hard drive just so I can watch it on the [...]

High-Fiber Poops are Number One

If you’re really looking to feel refreshed, lightweight, and “cleansed” for lack of a better word, eating a lot of food with a lot of fiber content is the way to go.  I’m 26 and I don’t think fiber is for old people. Here’s what my diet consisted of yesterday: Breakfast 1 bowl of Kashi [...]

Backing up external hard drives on Apple Time Machine

Time Machine advertises itself as able to backup external hard drives, which is exactly what I need because I store all my raw pictures and video on an external hard drive. However, after plugging in my external, Time Machine never picked it up. Turns out that that external hard drive needs to be formatted as [...]

Just so you know…

Just so you know, I will never refer to Kristine as “the fiancé” or “the wife” or “the Mrs.”.  I will refer to her by her name because she has a name.
