No TV for a month UPDATE | The Ultimate Test
So let’s recap, I decided on July 9th that I was going to stop watching TV for a month. I have done it so far with very good success, limiting to DVD’s on the weekends with my wife (that’s the closest thing to a date with a 7 week old!) and I also watched one TV show last night with my wife since we ran out of DVD’s to watch…other than that, ship shape! When I am...

Getting shafted for getting what you asked for.
So I posted an article nearly a year ago about how I had become the resident ‘tech support guy’ for just about anyone, but mainly relatives and their friends. Since then, I’ve told all my relatives that I don’t mind helping immediate family but please don’t offer my services out to those that you know. (I began losing my weekends b/c of it) So this weekend my wife...

The CSS guys have struck the fear of tables...

My New Goal | No TV for a month
I’ve been doing some self-reflection lately and I wanted to post another one of my goals that is going to start tomorrow. I’ve heard of people giving up television before so it’s by no means nothing new, but for me, it will be tough. I would definitely categorize myself as a bit of a TV junkie. I try and keep up with ‘my shows’ and easily take an hour or two of my...

Tweaking my Cingular 8125
So I’ve been using the Cingular 8125 going on nearly a month now and it is still a great device and I’m glad I went ahead and bought it. Now, I’m trying to tweak it to my liking. I’ve been checking out the app’s that are out there and trying to find that fit of having to deal w/ M$’s crap and finding a nice alternative (even if I have to fork over some dough...
