Bargain hunting again

As you, my loyal readers know, I am always on the endless search for a great deal.  Of course, I am notoriously cheap so I am looking for deals particularly on things I need and use quite often.  I am considering changing my internet service, as my current contract is about to expire.  Now that I have a laptop, I am looking into wireless (which I know little to nothing about). 

I have found a good site that utilizes searching in the same manner as Google, so that as many results as possible are included.  This is a great advantage over only getting results whose owners have paid for their search results inclusion. 

Anyway, back to the searching itself.  I know next to nothing about wireless routers and such but now I have a lot more information to work with.  I even know exactly what wireless card my laptop has, what speed it runs and what equipment it will work with. 

Once I was done with that, I turned my attention to the never ending hunt for "the perfect cellphone."  One of my friends got me addicted to this, I swear.  I love to get my hands on different phones and test out all the features and such.  Right now, I have a Nokia 5300 MusicXpress phone, which is great..but now I want to try out a completely different brand, Motorola.  I have been notoriously against Motorola in the past, for the fact that they waste a lot of space on their phones with a wedge..of nothing.  On their flip phones, this results in such a tiny screen; it's a wonder everyone with a Motorola phone doesn't have to get glasses.  They do have a candy-bar style phone that I am wanting to try out, as it has a 5 MP camera on it.  So, trying to find the lowest price on that, I searched it using ShopWiki.  I got several results, with the price ranges included in the search results.  I got search results from stores that I never would have expected and some I did.  Either way, I had many more options than when using the traditional shopping search engines.

Favorite File Manager for Windows 7

Most people that use Windows tend to just use Windows Explorer as their file manager. A vast number of people likely don't even realize that there are other options.  Windows Explorer is painfully limited in features, especially lacking the tabs that 95% of file managers utilize.  In my line of work, I have to compare, browse, edit, move, delete and rename vast numbers of files.  Windows Explorer just can't handle the task. I ended up using FreeCommander file manager, which had all the features I was looking for with extensive customization options for the user interface and a built in viewer that could be used inside the window I was working on.  That was actually the most difficult feature to find as I discovered later. After a while though, I became very frustrated with FreeCommander's 32 bit free version.  It became slow and often froze.  So I decided to comparison shop, so to speak.  My requirements were few but necessary: I had to be able to c...

The Confederate Flag and Its Impact and Influence on Millenials

It's been an unsettling week as once again, some post high school dropout with a chip on his soldier and a too-easily acquired gun decides to end lives.  This time, some loser douche decided to invade a church and kill several people who weren't pale enough for him.  This has led, most unfortunately to a whole lot of sheeple deciding to blame everything in the world, except for this young guy. What some people just can't seem to wrap around their heads is that sometimes people are just born wrong.  This guy probably has instances as far back as early childhood of things that should have alerted someone to the fact that he's cracked in the head.  But the sheeple persist. So, now we have this movement going on called #takedowntheflag, where civil authorities are being besieged by people in droves demanding that Confederate flags from the Civil War be taken down from government buildings. Apparently, that was what set the guy off.  A flag.  No, that's just wha...

Review of All Natural Products

As noted in my other blog, Thoughts From The Outside , I went on a all-natural mission to detoxify my life.  In part this change came about due to my dad's bout with cancer, but also it was something I have wanted to do for a long time and that was just my extra boost.  I started reading first about the 'no-poo' movement, which involves all natural alternatives to washing one's hair without using commercial shampoos, which are laden with cancer causing ingredients.  After several tries of various things, all of which are chronicled in my other blog, Thoughts From The Outside , I settled on one company for all of my all natural needs. I discovered a wonderful, family owned company during my lengthy search for quality, effective all natural products.  They are called Chagrin Valley Soap and Salve Company , located in Cleveland Ohio.  They sell lots of amazing, all natural products like (obviously) soap and salve, also shampoo bars, deodorant, lotions and lip bal...
