This really isn’t the best time of year for snowboarding talk but the way things go it’ll be winter before you know it. Of course just because it’s summer here doesn’t mean you can’t go boarding in other places, although global warming is probably taking it’s toll on good ski resorts worldwide. If [...]

Chloe’s getting to the age where she really wants a pet. A doggy, a hamster, a fish, it doesn’t really matter to her. She knows cats are out of the question, and when told that if we get a doggy she’ll have to pick up the poop from the lawn she changed her [...]

I can’t imagine working in this business without having a USB flash drive. I’ve hated floppies for years and re-burning CDs whenever a new driver gets updated is a pain. I currently use a 2gb flash drive for all my relevant drivers and software programs that I regularly use when doing computer repairs. [...]

When I went to Asia, as with any trip to a foreign country, I had to bring back lots of little gifts for friends and family members. One that stands out in my mind is a Nike pocket watch I got for my brother. He can’t wear a regular wrist watch because he [...]

I’ve only ever owned one Hawaiian shirt in my whole life and I regret to report that I have never been to Hawaii at all. I’d love to go sometime though, I had a taste of tropical weather when I went to Singapore a number of years ago, but I think Hawaii would be [...]

Posted on May 8, 2008 - Filed Under Business, Internet, shopping | Leave a Comment
People sell (and buy) the weirdest stuff on the internet. I remember a few years back a local guy sold a rat trap for something like $50. It was an antique I guess, but just the regular type, wooden platform with a big spring but I’m surprised it went for so much. [...]

There are really only a couple places to buy furniture in this town, and one of them is over priced, the other never seems to have quite what I’m looking for. Fortunately there’s a near endless supply of furniture shapes and styles to be found on the internet that can be shipped anywhere in [...]

There are a number of price watch type sites out there these days, they have bots that scour the net to create a database of prices which can be broken down by location, shipping and of course, which one is the cheapest. Whether you’re looking for the best diet pills or a new controller [...]

We finally got around to putting up some new curtains in the house. 3 years with a bedsheet tacked up over the bedroom window was just a little too long. Being busy with the store, combined with a bit of laziness and being unable to find the right length curtains all added up [...]

It’s getting more and more confusing for new consumers to figure out just what they need in order to hook their new gadgets up to a TV. On the video side of things there’s the old co-axial cable, which is the worst quality of the bunch. Stepping up from that we have RCA, [...]

Considering the amount of people having babies in this town at any given time of the year, it’s surprising how hard it is to find good maternity clothes around here. 5 years ago when the wife was pregnant it was even worse, there was next to nothing available and we ended up making a [...]

I sell a fair amount of network cables, and at prices a LOT cheaper than the ‘big boys’ charge. Ever look at cables at Staples or Walmart? They’re INSANE! An HDMI cable from Walmart was $80! I sell the same thing for $35. A DVI cable at Staples the last [...]
