Buying Jewelry Online
I do a lot of shopping online, but jewelry...particularly engagement rings... are one thing I don't think I could get myself to purchase in this way. Diamonds are something that I want to look at in person and get the opinion of a licensed and professional jeweler. I've had many family members purchase big pieces of jewelry online before with no problems...I would just be a bit leery myself. Who knows...when the time comes for me to buy something like this I may change my mind. I suppose I'd have to do more research and find trustworthy sites.Wednesday, October 29, 2008

9:53 AM Recycle Old CD's and More for Great Gadgets!
The internet is such a neat resource. I am always amazed at the benefits it brings us. I recently came across Abundatrade which is a company doing amazing things online. Basically they allow you to get new gadgets with your old used cds, DVDs and books even. Isn't that great? I mean, who doesn't have old CD's and stuff lying around?! Instead of just throwing them away, we can now give them to AbundaTrade.com for credit towards great things like TV's, phones, printers and so much more! Obviously a technology related website like this is right up my alley! How about you? I really think it's terrific that we can now recycle our old items and get something in return for them. It doesn't get much better than that if you ask me. So how does it work? Well...get together your old items, send in a list and Abundatrade will let you know which ones to send in. It's that easy. Then you earn credit and you can buy some great things on their site with them. It's a very interesting concept and one you may want to learn more about. If so...head over to their site where you'll find a wealth of information. Think of it this way...now you can get your kids those great C-mas presents that you've been wanting to, but just can't afford! You may just be richer than you thought?!! -
9:46 AM Website Design
Recently I have been putting a lot of time and effort into creating a new website for my place of work. I apologize if I have been neglecting this blog some. I'm working full time and then at night have been working on creating our website. I'm not complaining in anyway though...as designing and creating websites is something I really enjoy. However, like most people know...it's just something that takes time and isn't always easy. Hopefully the end result will be very impressive...I know my bosses are depending on that. In no time I will be back on and posting like usual....my apologies.Labels: Computers, Technology, Websites

9:51 AM Give to Charity While Shopping Online
I've said many times how amazing the Internet is when it comes to shopping online! I absolutely love the convenience of shopping online and the ease of it. Now I found out something else that makes shopping online even better. From what I've read, aGoodCause.com and their software, AidMaker, allows people like me who shop online to donate to their favorite charities for free!! Basically they partner with 700 different charities...those like save the children and red cross. Basically if you have the software on your computer, when you shop online a donation of what you pay goes to the charity of your choice...as long as that online store is one that takes part in this wonderful opportunity. If you'd like to learn more about how you can be a part of this, I urge you to check out www.agoodcause.com today!

9:48 AM Finding Love Online
Now is the time when almost anyone can find love online! I've known many people who have tried the different dating sites and did not like them, while others loved them and actually found that special someone that they were to marry. I think it depends on the person, but if you're open to trying a site like this...you may really like it!?! I got to thinking about how easy it is to meet someone nowadays, with the technology of the Internet, when I read about an 81 year old man who found love online. He married a 58 year old woman whom he met online. It just goes to show how amazing our technology is today and how helpful it can be!!Labels: Computers, Electronics, News, Technology

10:40 PM Ads Going Too Far??
Being the type of person who works a lot online, and even makes an income doing so....I understand the need for ads. However....lately I feel it's becoming increasingly worse online and on television! I feel like I can not go to one site, or one channel without having a bunch of ads pop up about a variety of topics. I don't mind those that will help people make better decisions for themselves....weight loss pills, insurance, etc....but those that focus on hair shampoos and food....not really all that interesting I guess. What do you think? Has it gone a little bit too far?Saturday, October 25, 2008

10:47 PM Flash Memory
With so many different digital devices, it is hard get enough internal memory to allow me to do the things that I would like with my devices. With flash memory I can feel free to do whatever I want. You can get flash memory in many different sizes ranging from 256 mb up to 8 Gb, with that kind of memory capablility there is no excuse for me not to be able to do what I want on my devices.Thursday, October 23, 2008

1:53 PM A Line Drawn When Buying Online
I buy almost everything online these days...and it does not stop at jewelry. Nope...jewelry is actually a very popular item purchased on the internet today. As long as you're buying from a reputable site...I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I do think however, that it depends on the piece of jewelry or accessory you're buying. I'm not going to go and buy an engagement ring online...but I would buy fashion jewelry or even Festina watches or something along those lines. What do you think? Where's the line you draw when it comes to buying online?Labels: Computers, Technology, Websites

1:47 PM Obama ads in Video Games!
I don't know about you, but the presidential ads on television and in newspapers are getting a bit old. An ad on almost every channel and in every newspaper is a bit much, don't you think? Well...I thought it was a bit much until I heard that Obama is actually paying to have his campaign ads pop up in XBox 360 Live's video games. Basically anyone playing video games where they connect their XBox to the internet will get to see Obama. I thought TV and newspapers were overboard, but this is just ridiculous in my opinion! I really don't think that politics belongs in the gaming world...but there's a first for everything I guess. Some think it's a smart move, while others feel it's a little violating and intrusive of their free time. What do you think? -
8:51 AM Free Cell Phone Deals
Having worked in a cell phone store, I know how many options there are out there for people to choose from. You'd think it would have made it easier for me to make a decision on the service or phone I want....but so far it hasn't. I get a phone, and then find one that I like better and switch to it. I have to say, I do enjoy T-Mobile the best so far....but am not sure I'll stick with them forever. In fact, I really like Sprint phones , so who knows..maybe I'll look into them?!? I'm always looking for the newest and best phone, as well as the service. My family has Verizon cell phones and they really like them. To each their own I guess.
I often find myself searching online to find the best deals and the newest phones. I recently did this and had much luck! As always, I've still been searching around and came across ifreecellphones.com. It's a wonderful site that makes it possible to find a plan, free cell phone deals, free shipping and even money back!! I was very impressed with all this site had to offer and am considering upgrading my phone already. I can't pass up the opportunity to look into other Tmobile phones! Whether you're looking for at&t cell phones or something else...they have it all! If you love cell phones as much as I do, you definitely need to check out this site today! -
8:50 AM Design Finished!
I recently finished helping my Grandma get one of her blogs up and running. I enjoy designing blogs, so this was no problem at all for me. I wanted to do something a little different than I had done before...and I think I succeeded. It was fun to merge her ideas and mine and come up with what I would say is a pretty pretty nice site. She's really enjoying it as well. Each template that I make it becomes easier and easier for me. This one only took me a few hours. That's a record for me! -
9:36 AM Discountacparts.com
Nowadays you can find pretty much anything you need online. I was recently looking for a discount a/c compressor for my car and came across none other than Discountacparts.com. I was really happy I came across their site. I'm possibly headed to California very soon and needed to fix the AC in my vehicle. IN the heat of California I knew it would need to be fixed ASAP. If you're looking for a Toyota AC Compressor, and other auto ac parts....definitely check out their site today. I was really impressed with all information and help that I found there, and I think you will be as well.Tuesday, October 14, 2008

9:33 AM Selling Online
The internet is a great place to sell things and to buy. What easier way to shop, then right here from the comfort of your own home. But, what if you got online and saw that some of your own belongings were being sold...but not by you?!? I think I would be a bit disturbed by this. As were David and Victoria Beckham when they found that two of the housekeepers who worked for them were up to no good. No one has been charged, but the investigation is still on as many memorable things were taken and sold. I am sure that this happens all over....the internet has it's good points, but also it's bad I suppose. -
8:54 PM Zeno
I'm always interested in learning about new technology devices. Recently I learned of Zeno. Have you ever heard of that?? It's actually a handheld, electronic medical device that helps to treat acne. It doesn't help with blackheads or scars or anything, but it does help with small blemishes. From what I understand, it actually heats up the skin for a couple of minutes and does quite a good job of doing what it says it will. If you struggle with acne, take a look at this product and see if it's something that could help you.Friday, October 10, 2008

1:28 PM Do you buy Jewelry Online?
Obviously online shopping is kind of my thing. i enjoy shopping this way, not only for myself, but also for holiday shopping for others. I typically wouldn't buy something like jewelry online...however I've heard such great things about Holsted jewelers that I had to check it out. I'm actually very impressed with their costume and fashion jewelry...this is something that my girlfriend and mom would really like I think! I was impressed with their quality and selection...as well as the prices they offer. I also enjoyed their user friendly site. I didn't look long before finding exactly what I was looking for. It's definitely worth a minute of your time to check it out, trust me. -
9:59 AM Facebook and Revenue
As one of the Internet's most popular social networking sites, Facebook is continuing to grow. There's probably not one person who hasn't at least heard of it. No matter what your age, or where your from...it's available to everyone. So the question many people are asking is how Zuckerberg plans to bring in revenue from the popular site. I really like his answer to this question actually....he stated that he's more interested in growth than anything else at this point. He knows that they'll need to figure out the money side of things within the next few years, but he just wnats to help the site to continue to grow. I think that's smart of him. -
9:55 AM Hacker of Sarah Palin's E-mail Caught
Yesterday I was watching the news before going to bed as I always do and heard that the guy who hacked into Sarah Palin's government e-mail has confessed and is facing charges. I'm very happy to hear that. I know that there are many people who know a lot about the computer and internet, but to hack into someone else's e-mail, let alone their government e-mail is just wrong. I'm glad he realized how serious his actions were and just came forward. I hope he receives the consequences that he deserves. -
9:00 AM The Jones Act
Mark and Associates, P.C. is a leading personal injury law firm. They most recently announced their applaud for presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama for his support of the federal law that provides financial compensation to seamen who are injured. I found this web release to be interesting, probably more than anything because all I've been hearing about is the presidential election lately. I enjoy reading things like this online and thought others might as well. You can learn more about the Jones Act, and Obama's support of it, by visiting one of these two websites http://www.maritimelegalrights.com and http://www.jonesactrights.com. You can also learn more about how to get a maritime attorney through Mark and Associates by visiting their website as well. -
9:08 PM Purchasing Online
I have ordered and shopped for many things online, but when it comes to big items I typically go in the store. I don't' know why, I'd just much rather see it in person. However, my sister and her husband bought an elliptical machine off the Nordik Trak website recently and the order went through very smoothly. I guess it makes me think twice about the things I'm not so willing to buy online...and maybe next time I will try ordering something fairly large. I guess more and more people are doing it with much success now.Thursday, October 9, 2008

8:59 PM New Mindset Game
So, there are a lot of unique video games out there these days, but today I heard of the most extreme game I've ever heard of. Have you heard of Mindset before? This is literally a "mind game"! It's no longer about how fast you're fingers can move the controllers, it's now about a headset which detects how relaxed or tense you are, and then monitors your brain waves to move the characters. Isn't that crazy?! I'm not even sure what I think about such a game?! These games will be children's games and will probably be available next year. I'd love to hear what you think about a game like this. -
3:02 PM Car Talk
Ever heard of Turbochargerpros.com before? I of course have...as I'm just as much into cars as I am technology. This site is great...it has everything you need for your Audi, VW or other models of vehicles. What I like best about them is that they have a great inventory with full warranty on their items. I would love to get Superchargers for my car at some point, as well as nose covers.....this is the place to do it too! As they have it all. If you're looking for the perfect audi turbocharger for your car, check out http://www.turbochargerpros.com/ today!Wednesday, October 8, 2008

2:57 PM Cell Phones Taken to the Next Level
For a while now I've been hearing about the Blackberry Storm. It's supposed to be pretty cool. However, just recently was the first I had heard of the new touch screen that they are implementing. It sounds incredible!! Unlike the glass, awkward screen of the iphone, this one will actually have springs under the screen which will be pressed by the fingers when using it's touch screen. This will feel more like buttons. I thought this was a great move by Blackberry, and something many will appreciate. -
8:53 PM Charter Giveaway
I'm sure many of you have heard of Charter as a great choice for your cable, telephone and internet needs. But did you know you can go online and order any of the services they offer?? Obviously for someone like me who does absolutely everything online, I thought this was great! I also liked that they have a promotion going right now. What is it?? Well, if you order any service online that they offer, or simply register, that you will entered to win a brand new Honda Civic Hybrid?!! Wow!!

8:30 PM Effect of Internet Use on Teens
Recently it was said by the director of the White House war on drugs that certain videos online that show people using drugs can be somewhat of an encouragement to teens to use drugs and alcohol. These kinds of videos have been found on very popular sites among teens like Myspace for instance. It's been advised that parents pay much closer attention to what their children are doing on the internet. I completely agree....as it's uphauling to think that people are encouraging this kind of behavior among kids through the internet. With each year that passes, we find more and more issues that surround the danger of young children using the internet. I think that parents more than ever need to watch everything their children are doing online and be firm on what they're doing. -
2:49 PM Vintage Sunglasses Online
Isn't the internet a great thing?!? I was talking with my brother today on Skype...which is a great way to keep in touch with people on the computer I might add....and he was telling me about his new sunglasses. He was wearing them as we talked, to show me exactly how they looked. My brother and I don't typically have the same "style", but I really like his new Wayfarer sunglasses. They were very vintage looking and something I could definitely see myself, and many people liking. I went online and looked, and you can get some really good deals right on their site. I don't like to spend a lot of money on accessories like this, so it was great to find them at such great prices!Sunday, October 5, 2008

2:47 PM Still Designing...
I'm currently working on finishing that design for my Grandma's blog that I posted about a few days ago. It's taken me a bit long having a business trip to go on in the middle of it all, however I feel it's really coming along! The great thing about designing templates is that you can do something so different each and every time. I enjoy challenging myself and coming up with new ideas. I'll have to share the site with you once I'm finished. -
9:06 AM Computer Use and Dieting
This might be an odd theory, but do you think people who spend a lot of time on the computer actually use it as a sort of appetite suppressant? I was thinking about this the other day at work while I was on the computer for a very long period of time working. I got to thinking about how hours had passed and I hadn't even thought of food. Could it be that working on the computer keeps our mind off snacking all day?? Hmmm...something to think about I suppose.Labels: Computers

8:04 PM Finding Car Insurance Quotes Online
When I first got my new car, I did a lot of searching around to find the cheapest car insurance. I didn't want to pay a ton of money, and knew that I really had to search since this was a new car and considered to be a sports car. I thankfully came across some good insurance, but it wasn't until I searched through many auto insurance quotes that I found the best one. I'm so thankful that the internet allows me the convenience to do this. Otherwise I probably would have gotten a much worse deal that.Thursday, October 2, 2008

8:02 PM Designing Websites
I have a lot of family members who are getting more and more involved online as well. They are all very interested in making money with their websites, and have often come to me to create and design them. Most recently my Grandma came to me with this request. I'm very excited because designing sites is something I love to do. She has given me some really great ideas and I know we'll be able to come up with a blog that will be perfect for her!!Labels: Computers, Technology
