As I have said before, my knowledge on politics is still very limited and this new Stimulus Package is more confusing to me than all the knots in my box of cables at home. I would like someone with more understanding to explain a little something my sister asked me yesterday. In my conversation with my sis, she asked when would we be getting our next stimulus checks. I was confused as I had yet to hear anything about checks being sent out except some confusing rumors and stories but nothing as d...

In the spirit of giving our President "a chance", this article (and possible others that follow) will be written to tell the news and not to attack the newly elected President. I however reserve the right to post my opinions in the comment section. According to a foxnews.com article ( Obama Sets 2010 Timetable for Iraq Withdrawal ), President Obama decided that all combat operations in Iraq will end on August 31 2010. However he also plans on leaving between 35 and 50 thousand troops in Iraq ...

I've seen reports online that claim that Obama has a pretty high IQ, that according to many he is a very inteligent and well educated person. Probably the smartest President ever (anyways). But President Obama has had his moments that one can not easily ignore. Remember the 57 States Obama was talking about? Sure, everyone makes mistakes, but then President Bush was never given any slack for all his mistakes. Obama's latest fumble came yesterday in his Address to Congress. This is what he sai...

A few weeks ago I saw a story on foxnews.com ( Google Eath Leads Man to 'Buried Treasure' ) where a man claims to have found the City of Atlantis while using Google Earths new feature called Google Ocean that lets users see 3D views of the bottom of the ocean. The story caught lots of peoples attention as the posibility of such a finding would be spectacular thru the simple use of some simple, free software and some free time.

So I bought myself an iPod Touch 16GB 2nd generation a few weeks ago. I thought it was the coolest gadget I have ever owned. The software on it from the app store are pretty neat while some seem somewhat pointless, still it's a great device. Having all my fav music in the palm of my hand every where I go is great. But I have yet to find that 20 hour battery I read about online. I can barely have my iPod on for a few hours before I get the "20% battery remaining" warning. I found out some of t...

I figured I would follow in Island Dogs concept of asking about what happened to you this past week so here it goes. They say laughter is good for the soul. I would like to you what made you laugh this past week? Anything you saw on the street, a scene in a movie, something on the radio, something you kids, spouse, friend or family member did. Let's bring on the laughter.

OK, so now President Obama is talking about cutting the deficit in half before his first term; and his solutions? Something we all knew he would eventually do and many have said is a bad idea. Raise taxes on the rich during a recession and cut spending on the wars. I don't mind cutting spending on the Iraq war for we are doing pretty good over there but it all depends on how much he plans on cutting; then there is Afghanistan, a war Obama is actually in favor of and plans on sending more soldier...

Well actually, in this case, I don't know at all what happened at all. Just a few days ago I wrote an article asking for suggestings on digital cameras for a Valentines gift (never actually got the camera, read why) and saw that Little-Whip offered to give me hers. I had not noticed the offer till a few days later but was unable to send her a msg at the time to thank her for the offer and to go ahead and send it to me. When I finally got to msg her, I noticed she had changed her name to LWEXI...

OK, I am looking for some suggestions on digital cameras from my wife as a Valentine's Day gift. My wife was very interested in the Nikon Coolpix S60 with the touch screen features but apart from being a tad bit pricey for us, I have read many bad reviews on the camera and how the features are more cool than fuctional. I am looking for an 8 to 10 MP digital camera for less than $200 with some nice features. What can you guys/gals recommend?

Ok, so I have an upcoming vacation trip to Puerto Rico in July. I plan on taking my laptop and portable drives with me. I also plan on taking my iPod. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what could be the bad experiences I may have with the x-ray machines my laptop and hard drives may have to go thru when I get to the airport as I plan to carry my laptop bag as a carry on bag. Will the x-ray machine cause considerable damage to any of my hard drives? Any experiences will be appriciated. Tha...

So I wrote an article a few weeks ago titled Looking for a new mouse for gaming, any suggestions? where I explained the current mouse I was using on my laptop for gaming and was looking for something new. Several JU/WC bloggers game some very interesting suggestions and when I went to the store to check some of these out, I realized I was in for some major money dropping since in order to get a good mouse for gaming, it was gonna cost me a whole lot more than a regular $10 mouse. I saw the ...

OK, So I have this large collections of movies on my external hard drives. Movies I rip from my collection of DVDs (and some I haven't). I don't mind the less-than-DVD quality since I am watching them on a 17 inch laptop most of the time. What I would like is some kind of Movie Management software, kinda like iTunes, where I can link movie covers to the videos and search by image of movie cover, category, artist or title, sorta like what you see on netflix.com or blockbuster.com. If anyone ha...

I have to say that Obama has definitely proved he has brought change to the US Gov't for this new Era. Not only is Obama failing to get the Republicans to back his policies (bipartisan? yea right) but now his own Party members are questioning his Stimulus Package. Not to mention he was already having issues agree with Pelosi. Now we have a not so punctual President. According to Foxnews.com , it seems that scheduled meetings and news conferences run on "Obama Time", meaning that rather than bei...

OK, so I am not much of a political expert or an economics expert either. The knowledge that I have mostly came from this site. So with that said I have to question something I heard on the news yesterday that, to me, has both good points and bad. According to a foxnews.com article Wells Fargo had plans to send some of their employees and a, what they called, traditional all-expense-paid trip to Las Vegas for 12 days. Wells Fargo recently acquired Citigroup, one of the banks that received b...

OK, so I am a somewhat PC gamer. I play a lot of Call of Duty and for the past year have been using a Logitech Nano VX mouse and let me say, it's been very good to me while gaming. I love the 2 little buttons that allow me to put nades and knifing at my finger tips rather than on the keyboard forcing me to move my hand from the moving keys. I bought it because it was small and perfect for my laptop. Never considered I'd be gaming with it and felt comfortable in my hand when gaming. My pr...
