Watch: Tissot Automatic PR 50

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

For the last couple of years I wore a decent looking, but of fairly poor quality, Fossil watch. I call it fairly poor quality because a few months ago after it stopped ticking the guy at the watch store told me that fixing it would cost more than buying a ...

Technology: Office 2008 for Mac (Home & Student Edition)

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Now that I have my new MacBook Pro, I need a way to use all of the excel files that I've used over the years. I briefly tried using Numbers, but it just doesn't do the job. So I went to the Apple store over the weekend and bought Office ...

Technology: MacBook Pro

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

The last time I had a Mac was in 1998, the same year that I got my first PC. By the time I made the switch I was so done with the Mac and I thought that I'd never go back. I guess I forgot the old adage to never ...

Skis: Volkl Mantras

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

Technology: The Gift of Flickr Pro

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

Here is another gift I gave away this Christmas season. This time around the "sexy folded gift certificate" (Flickr's description, not mine) for Flickr Pro made the perfect stocking stuffer for both my mom and sister, two new Flickr users who joined after having used Yahoo! Photos for years. Like ...

DVD: Friday Night Lights - The First Season

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

This was one of a couple presents that I got for my girlfriend this year for Christmas. We were late to this party and didn't start watching it until the 2nd season, but if the 1st is anything like the 2nd then I'm sure we won't be disappointed. You see, ...
