This came out last week. I had heard about it a few months ago and honestly wasnt impressed at all with the idea. Seemed like it would be a pain in the ass, and when I went to look at the “Watch Instantly” selection, they were totally crappy. I went about my life and didnt think much of it.
Couple weeks ago, the day the new Xbox Live interface came out was the day the Netflix Watch Instantly over you Xbox was released. Upon my first viewing, it seemed very annoying. …

You are thinking one of four things:
What is Stop and Shop?
I already knew the logo changed
Really, I didnt know the log changed
or
Why do I care?
Well, you dont have to care…because I do. I grew up on Stop and Shop and the “old reliable Red” and Green circles. I saw them through the 80’s and into the mid 90’s. Sure going food shopping in really boring when youre a little kid, but I was there every week with my mommy. Stop and Shop provided food for all those …

Oh my god, I can not believe this has happened, but its totally my fault. Spyware, Malware, Poopware…I got it.
I have run SO MANY different scans on my computer, its been retarded: Ad-Aware, Counter Spy, AVG, Advanced Spyware Remover, a-squared Security Center. Those did absolutely nothing to stop whats going on. I have also run SmitfraudFix, and VundoFix. Those two managed to stop a couple things. I also went in the disable the pop ups for IE, which its annoying to go down for lunch, only to come back to …

I went to L.A. last week for the closing of the greatest ride the world has ever known, the Back to the Future ride. I am, kind of a fan of the movies. I have personalized licence plates that say “outatym“, I have a flux capacitor tattoo, and other various bttf items. Im not the biggest fan by far, but Im way more than the casual enjoyer of the film. And I happen to be crazy over the ride, I mean crazy. Im not one of the few who live …

With me having just moved into my little place, and having a little more money than before, I seem to have developed an obsession with IKEA. Oh I know, yet another designer into friggen IKEA, pretty original. But still, it has happened. I averaged either two or one trips a week for the past two months. Sometimes after work, sometimes on the weekend. And one would think that I would run out of place to put all these things, but somehow I managed to find a place for everything. Over …

I have a Dish Network DVR Receiver,, and they tend to crap out a lot. When they crap out, Dish Network sends out a new one, and takes the old. While for most people that isnt a problem, for me it sucks because I keep most of what I record, and I record alot. I call it my hamster stash of TV files.
But I found a way to “hack” into my DVR, with the help of the interweb to find instructions and programs to help. So I back …

This past weekend, for the first time in my life, I ordered something from Home Shopping Network. Im suprised I did it myself, but they had something on TV that I just had to have. I got the 100 hanger set of the Huggable Hangers. It was 100 hangers for $100, free S+H. They sold me on the free S+H. Ive wanted those hangers ever since they came out a few years ago. I just never really had the money to get them. …
