Help Needed

Notice I didn’t say Help Wanted.. lol. I NEED help, just can’t afford it yet.

As of next month, ebay is jacking their fees to sellers (me) from 5% per transaction to 8.75% per transaction. This means that if I sell on my normal threshold of [...]

Vonage Sucks

Now that I’m on hold with Vonage, for an estimated 25 minutes more, I decided to use that time to share JUST how bad vonage sucks. Late last week a friend of mine (Tim) got me to try Skype Pro, which gives me unlimited outbound calls to the US and Canada for a whopping $36.00 [...]

I need feedback from you viewers

Sorry I’ve not been blogging more lately, but getting the business upgraded and off the ground has been taking most all the available time I have lately. I’ve been beating the streets, knocking doors to meet new customers, working on the PR web site, trying to re-code from scratch the e-commerce web site with the [...]

TimeWarner = Comcast Battle, Round 2

It seems another provider is joining the hunt for a way to throttle Internet traffic. Most of you who read my blog aren’t very "literate" in the bittorrent world, but basically you can just consider it an easy way to download TONS of information from the Internet; movies, games, tv shows, pictures, programs, etc. (Some [...]

It appears the music and movie industries have inspired the rest of the world to jump on the copyright and DRM train. Here is just some of the absolutely ludicrous news I read today. I haven’t even gotten to the mainstream news agencies before I got completely fed up and had to post this. Seriously, [...]

Important news for those of you running Microsoft Office 20003

This is something important I thought I’d share for those of you running Microsoft Office 2003, which is by far now still the most common version, since most of the world hasn’t caught up to Office 2007 yet. If you downloaded the Service Pack 3 patch, released in September last year (2007), and you work [...]

The Scoobies go to Pamlico!

Thanks to the coolest connections (ie: my Mom) the Scoobs have been invited to a once-in-a-lifetime chance to spend an off-season week on the beach. I would usually have put WAY more time into planning this, but the opportunity fell in our lap with little notice and there’s NO way I’m turning it down! Mr. [...]
