Okay, so I understand that this is my Tech news and gaming blog, but I’m running a short little experiment that may last for a couple days on vacuum cleaner reviews. So the question is does this place fair better, or rather does my vacuum cleaner reviews sites fair better when I write about vacuum cleaner reviews, or reviews in general? Or should I just stick on my Tech news and gaming topic and leave it at that? Does mingling Tech news and gaming and vacuum cleaners reviews screw with my ratings, or is it helpful, or does it do nothing? Eh, only time shall tell right? Generally speaking, whether you are talking about vacuum cleaners or Tech news and gaming the main thing that matters is the amount of work that you put into it. So after a 30 day blogging challenge where I reviewed hundreds of items, and did a lot of work getting the templates for my Tech news and gaming blog here ready for a long haul run… then never went the long haul… well it only makes sense to pop in occasionally with some Tech news and gaming news from time to time ya know? But that’s not really what today is about, for the most part today is about my vacuum cleaner comparison site that does decently well, but not as well as last year… so the goal is to regain the supremacy that I had on the vacuum cleaner rankings stuff again. So how does one do that? Well that is the question of the hour is it not? In general being so lack luster and spreading the same message over a wide birth of topics is not a great thing… but I am hoping that I can make this vacuum cleaner reviews topic long enough to make up for the indiscretions that may present themselves at times. I think that what I am missing may be much worse than just a few vacuum cleaner reviews, but rather a vacuum cleaner content lack… so we shall see. Onward and upward though, that is the Tech news and gaming way right? Or is that just the best vacuum cleaner ratings talking to me?
Since this is my Tech Review blog I guess it is appropriate that I share that my Tech Review reviews will be somewhat lacking for a while. I’ve got a whole bunch of work to do with multiple projects, including but not limited to The Bible Animated! Got a whole lotta stuff to do, but The Bible Animated is kind of priority in the matter. It is a huge undertaking with CakePHP and I’m the only one working on it, so it’s hard to find the motivation… also it’s hard to keep up with this Tech Review reviews blog when I’ve got so much to do with The Bible Animated. Anyways, we’ll be back to the Tech Review blog at some point in time, just not right this second since I’ve got several other projects to build on, also including a food site HealthyBudgetCooking.com to help people learn to do Healthy Budget Cooking
It’s black Friday! Okay, so I don’t get terribly excited about Black Friday because there’s only a few really great deals, and only a few people get them. For the most part it is black Friday every day to me! That’s right I’ve got a great place to get cool gadget news, and discount coupons that make most black Friday deals obsolete for me! If you’d like to get the latest
Ever since I graduated from high school, got married, and had a kid… well hard core gaming just isn’t so interesting anymore. I still like to relax after a long day of blogging with a game or two online… most games today are a little bit violent for our 2 year old child… I picked up Dungeon Defenders along with a couple of extra copies for my cousin and wife. Gaming just isn’t any good without people to play with! And since Dungeon Defenders allows you to create your own game server means you’re not reliant on the dungeon defenders game server. My octo-core 16GB RAM rendering box here works great for keeping games lag free
On this lazy Sunday I present you with an old classic. White and nerdy!
They see me mowin’
My front lawn
I know they’re all thinking
I’m so White N’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white n’ nerdy
Look at me I’m white n’ nerdy!
I wanna roll with-
The gangsters
But so far they all think
I’m too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Really, really white n’ nerdy
First in my class here at M.I.T.
Got skills, I’m a Champion of DND
MC Escher that’s my favorite MC
Keep your 40
I’ll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin to the contrary
You’ll find they’re quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Steven Hawkings in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
I got people begging for my top 8 spaces
Yo I know Pi to a thousand places
Ain’t got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I’m a whiz at minesweeper I can play for days
Once you see my sweet moves you’re gonna stay amazed,
my fingers movin’ so fast I’ll set the place ablaze
There’s no killer app I haven’t run
At Pascal, well, I’m number 1
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain’t got a gat but I gotta soldering gun
Happy days is my favourite theme song
I can sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I’ll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I’m fluent in Java Script as well as Klingon
Here’s the part I sing on
They see me roll on, my Segway!
I know in my heart they think I’m
white n’ nerdy!
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white n’ nerdy
Look at me I’m white n’ nerdy
I’d like to roll with-
The gangsters
Although it’s apparent I’m too
White n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
I’m just too white n’ nerdy
How’d I get so white n’ nerdy?
I’ve been browsing, inspectin’
X-men comics you know I collect ‘em
The pens in my pocket
I must protect ‘em
my ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shopping online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
I got a business doing websites
When my friends need some code who do they call?
I do HTML for them all
Even made a homepage for my dog!
Yo! Got myself a fanny pack
they were having a sale down at the GAP
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
POP POP! Hope no one sees me gettin’ freaky!
I’m nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour creme
I was in AV club and Glee club and even the chess team!
Only question I ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
I spend every weekend
at the renaissance fair
I got my name on my under wear!
They see me strollin’
They laughin’
And rollin’ their eyes ’cause
I’m so white n’ nerdy
Just because I’m white n’ nerdy
Just because I’m white n’ nerdy
All because I’m white n’ nerdy
Holy cow I’m white n’ nerdy
I wanna bowl with-
the gangsters
but oh well it’s obvious I’m
white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Look at me I’m white n’ nerdy!
In my line of work there is nothing more important than reliability. My network has to function at 100% every day! With the some times thousands of file transfers between my workstation and test server here at the house there is no room for error, and the speed must be unrivaled! Especially since Google will be installing gigabit internet here soon and I will be running a webserver from my house there isn’t anything that comes in priority over a fast, reliable switch. Cisco SR2016T 16-Port Rackmount 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch allows me to get my work done fast, transfering files, updating test sites, saving backups, you name it and this little beast of a switch handles it for me! I’ve been running a Cisco SR2016T 16-Port Rackmount 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch in my home for years, even used it at a few LAN parties with over 150 people hooked up to this thing and it never flinched!
Okay, so don’t tell my wife… but I might have, maybe, kind of taken a peak at her Christmas present… the Kindle Fire. My wife is big on the portable computing thing… but she’s been hinting that her laptop gets a little too toasty on her lap after extended use, and maybe I could find her something that is a little more portable friendly Well I also know she’s big on reading, tons of books all over the house of hers. And yeah, you can read books on any tablet if they are in PDF form… but why not get one with thousands of books available with service designed for it? That’s why I settled on the Kindle Fire, and I just couldn’t keep my hands off of it when it arrived today! So after my little hands on review of my wifes Kindle Fire… I have to say that I might be hooked, I might need one of my own
Mercedes makes the toughest cars in the world! Seriously, I watch a lot of crash test videos and nothing comes out as good as a Mercedes!!! Probably because 90% of our safety improvements come from F1 racing, Mercedes and Ferrari are the two top spenders in F1 so they get the best safety improvements for their road cars. Most cars would of crumpled into a tiny ball at 65mph… 120mph is not double the impact force of 65mph it’s more like 8 times the impact force. Force grows exponentially with speed. Watched this a couple more times and I’m totally impressed still! The announcer is an idiot, the roof is not “ripped off” or “flung like tin foil” it reached the end of it’s lifespan, crushed as much as it could safely crush before hitting the driver… it then released AS IT IS DESIGNED TO to reduce mass and take impact force away from the driver. If you look closely though, the rear window is still intact!!! That’s impressive!!! The announcer is the “scariest police chase video” and “america’s most wanted” guy…all he knows how to do is make things sound worse than they actually are Jack Walsh, I think is his name.
I think a lot of people have complete amnesia some times. The AMD FX-4100 is essentially a dual core processor, yes I know it is “quad” core, but it is really a dual Bulldozer core system. The fact that it is competitive with quad core processors is simply amazing! I think AMD has some tweaking to do, but if you absolutely cannot wait for your FX processor I suggest the FX 4100, it can potentially be unlocked to an eight core CPU, and overclocking in general with this beast is intense! The new AMD FX lineup runs on so little power, and produces so little heat that you can push one of these to 4.6ghz on air! 5ghz should be no problem with a little water cooling
When you do as much blogging as I do nothing is as important as a comfortable keyboard. I’ve been using my Logitech Wave K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard for a couple years now, and have to say that I will never go back to a straight keyboard. Heck the Logitech Wave Keyboard is so comfortable that I will never go back to a flat keyboard If you’re trying to do our 90 day blogging challenge you will soon notice pains everywhere… wrist pains, finger pains, eye strain… working on the computer requires a lot of special attention to ergonomics. The most ergonomic keyboard that I have ever found is the Logitech Wave K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard this thing is beautiful! The Logitech Wave K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard has a slight angle, much better than most split keyboards that have sharp angles some times worse than a straight keyboard. The Logitech Wave K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard also has a slight dip in the keys where your longer fingers rest, it creates the most comfortable natural keystrokes ever. I’ve been using a Logitech Wave keyboard for about 2 years now, and I cannot imagine ever using another keyboard. I’ve got some other ergonomic tricks up my sleeve for working on the computer, but we’ll talk about those later Your keyboard is your primary weapon in your blogging arsenal, so the $40 it will take to get a good ergonomic keyboard is well worth every penny. Even a 2 year lifespan will easily pay for itself… repetitive motion injuries are no fun to deal with, trust me when I say that before you begin this journey a comfortable keyboard like the Logitech Wave K350 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard is a necessity.
