When most people lose, break, or need a new prescription for their eyeglasses they think they only have one option. Expensive designer eyewear from a local brick and mortar eyeglasses store. The idea of cheap eyeglasses comes with the idea of low quality eyeglasses… I’ve found that to not be true though. I’ve found

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?

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

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!

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 :-P 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.

Most of you who have followed this blog over the years know that as with many people my age, my gaming habits have transformed over the years. I’ve gone to more of a casual gamer, playing online titles, and other games that don’t monopolize my time. One of those online games I’ve gotten into is OurWorld. It’s a fun little game that you can log on and off without requiring you to spend hours at a time playing… well unless you want to get enough gems to do anything, or become a resident. That’s why I was so happy when I found this video that shows you how to get Ourworld Resident Account, Gem Codes, Gems, Cheats and other stuff. The

This is quite possibly my favorite mouse of all time. I’ve had a lot of mice over the years, gaming, ergonomic, tablets… all sorts of input devices to replace the mouse… Nothing quite matches the Logitech G9X Laser Gaming Mouse. I can’t believe other mouse manufacturers haven’t caught on… there are a couple of very simple but very effective ideas that the Logitech G9X Laser Gaming Mouse incorporates. One of them is the onboard memory! Okay, so programable buttons, macros, and different profiles are available with a lot of mice anymore… but most of them require the software to do it, which means I can’t use my macros when on Linux… The Logitech G9X Laser Gaming Mouse is a totally different animal in that respect. It stores my profiles IN THE MOUSE!!! Which means that I can use everything exactly as I have programmed it no matter what computer, or operating system I am on. It may not look it, but it is also very ergonomic, the low profile design keeps your hand in a more natural position. The left click primary button is a separate button, very easy to click… while the right click is made into the body making it slightly more stiff helping you avoid accidental slipups of pressing the wrong button (especially important in First Person Shooter Games). If you have not already tried the Logitech G9X Laser Gaming Mouse DO SO NOW!! I also especially love the micro gear so that you can switch between a firm click scrolling, and a very smooth fast scrolling wheel! It helps reduce repetitive impact injuries that other mice create, while also allowing you to precisely select through scrolling.

Genius makes a decent twin motor vibration feedback racing wheel… but before I discovered that I got one of these from Genius trying to get my cousin into playing some racing games with me! Uh… yeah… ForceFeedback strength is very low, if it works at all. It clanks and makes a lot of noises that makes you think it’s going to fall apart too! No, you get just as much sensation with the Genius vibration feedback wheel… so I would say don’t waste the extra money. If you’re looking for a super cheap easy way to get into racing games grab a Genius vibration feedback wheel… it’ll serve you better in my opinion ;-)
