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.

Writer's Block and a Deadline

Everyone has something they are good at; I'm a writer.  I have been hired as a freelance writer on multiple occasions, to the benefit of both parties.  I have written many different types of custom writing for various clients, depending on their needs and my knowledge of the subject they need written about.  Sometimes, though, after a long while of not doing much on the writing front, my skills can get somewhat rusty.  Enter every writers nightmare: writer's block.  Sometimes inspiration can be difficult to come by so it's necessary to have several sources at hand to give a boost when needed.  If ever I get stuck on a particularly technical piece or with a subject I know little about, I can always get a professional to write my essay .  I can always turn to writers with advanced postgraduate degrees and professional business experience to help me get a paper that I can use as a source for my work.  It's nice to know that I don't have to worry abo...

This is very cool because it works like NetFlix does for movies.  You can rent books in the same way!!! Blogged with the Flock Browser

Yandex Web Browser

On my Windows 7 computer, the one I work from, I need a good, fast reliable browser as part of my workflow.  I recently got rid of one that I really loved for a while, called Torch Browser .  Torch has a lot of great extras, such as music and video players, torrent downloader, facelift for facebook; basically it's great for play.  Don't get me wrong, it was great but my focus on this computer is productivity and I need a web browser to match.  I like using Chrome based browsers as well as Firefox, but I hate having Google involved in everything (like this blog *grumble*) so I go for alternative browsers based on Chrome, minus the Google.  (Sorry, Google dear, but you brought this on yourself)  I was a rabid fan of Opera prior to what I like to call the Operocalypse, where Opera gave up everything that made it stand out from the rest (and made it the best) to yet another Chrome clone.  I have it, out of habit, but only use it on my most secure sites; it...
