In my last post, I stated that Paypal had taken my money and would not fixed the situation. Things have changed now. I do have to say that it was not Paypal’s kindness to me that reversed their decision about my money. I had to do the work and fix the problems. I will not [...]

I’m having problems with Paypal. Before you say “So have I”, I want to say that I have had problems before as well. Just nothing on this level. I recently sold a laptop computer on eBay. The buyer disputed the sale and sent the package back to me. After opening the package, I realize that [...]

I have dealt with Amazon.com for many years now. Any time there is a problem, they have gone out of their way to get it fixed. The people I talk to over the phone are outstanding and as nice as one could expect. I have spent more money than I would like to think about [...]

I purchased two items from buy.com the other day. They only sent me one of the items. No big deal I say to myself. I email and ask that they send the rest of my order. They then write me back and state that they have denied my request. Unbelievable. I will be getting my [...]

The Leatherman Wave multi-tool is hands down our most popular model, made famous by its outside-accessible blades that can be deployed with just one hand. When we redesigned it in 2004, we gave the new Wave larger knives, stronger pliers, longer wire cutters, and all-locking blades. Perfect for any job, adventure, or everyday task, the [...]

This episode is not one of the better episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It’s far from the worst. While there are funny moments, it can’t get past several long moments where not much happens. To me MST3K has a hard time with comedy’s like these movie. The movie is completely stupid which is normal [...]

This is an impressive tool. Wouldn’t mind having one. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zApUSw0xsRY&hl=en&fs=1] Tags: knife, multi-tool, Swiss Army, Victorinox

New The North Face Escalada Backpack! I just purchased one of these backpacks the other day. It’s a great backpack and I love it, but I can’t find anything online about it. I have only found one review on the backpack. Anyone else out there have any experience with this pack? If so, please let [...]

The Article This is a bit upsetting. I understand that the game is $10 less than XBox 360 and Playstation 3, but couldn’t they have done something? We have this game and my son loves it, but now I feel like I am missing out on so much more that there is in the gaming [...]

I thought I was missing something when they didn’t air a new episode of Survivorman last week. A new episode is on tonight and that is great. Hopefully there will be a new episode of The Clone Wars as well. Tags: Survivorman, Television

At first apples decision to change the design of the iPods so older devices would not charge them didn’t bother me. Now it is starting to. It’s my understanding that Apple told manufacturers approximently two years ago that the specification would be changing and that they would need to start using the 5 volt usb [...]

I recently purchased a new Scosche Passport for my car stereo. The only way I could get it to work was to turn on the car, hook the passport into the iPod, then hook the iPod cord into the passport. If I changed any part of these steps, it would result in the iPod not [...]
