The things in my head go 'round and 'round

A guy I used to work with owned a paint ball store. He, and his partner, sold all kinds of cool paint ball guns, and the accessories that go with them. I bought a really nice spyder from him for my youngest son.

Today though, I am thinking about doing some tactical paintball. Yeah. Take the gun to work and start sniping the folks that piss me off. No head shots. Just a solid chest hit when they do something stupid.

Of course we all know that that wouldn’t fly too well.

Shoot.

No pun intended.

Namaste.

I am making my list Christmas Wish List. Updating it, actually, to include Dragon Naturally Speaking. I want this. I want this bad. If you take a look at the videos that I embedded above you can see why. My favorite on is where you can be away from your computer, talk into the Logitech Headset, and have your computer do all of the typing.

I hate being tethered to either my desktop, or my laptop. Makes me crazy. I find myself typing something, and then wandering around for awhile, coming back, editing (yes, I do edit at times), and continuing on with my thoughts. Having the ability to compose on the fly would make my life that much easier. And your reading enjoyment that much more.

So here is my list.

1. Personal SEO coach.

2. Dragon Naturally Speaking

3. New design. A personalized one. Call me before you buy this, I have a few ideas.

4. A new computer.

5. A new laptop.

6. An actual copy of XP that isn’t cobbled together with spit, and bubble gum.

7. The time to study with the SEO coach.

8. Finish my office space.

9. Finish the deck so that I can use that as office space in the summer.

10. A new pair of socks.

And to make your buying of Dragon Naturally Speaking that much easier here are some coupon codes for you to use:

So Santa, hows about helping a guy out? I have been reasonably good this year. I think. I mean, we could sit down over a homebrew and discuss any concerns that you might have over my behavior this past year. I am sure we could come to a meeting of the minds over any disparities.

Namaste.

In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania it is that time again. Deer hunting season. The official gun season starts at day break on Monday, December 1st.

Lots of folks, men and women, are getting their gear together and heading out for hunting camps, or hotel rooms so that when day break hits they can hopefully be one of the lucky ones to get that huge buck.

The day after Thanksgiving there was a Nikon Black Friday Promo on their website. If you missed it there are still a bunch of deals out there on scopes, binoculars, rangefinders and more. You can even get an additional $20 off the popular ATB binoculars.

Check out the website for some great deals. If you already have your gear for hunting season, there are a number of great Christmas ideas for the hunter on your list.

Namaste.

Yes, I went there. web hosting so easy, even a cave man could do it.

And those cave men are getting on my last nerve. That being said, I have talked about looking for, and finding a web host that takes care of your web needs before. And some of you didn’t get the message.

There are seemingly a million places who want your web hosting business. Some good, and some not so good. How the heck do you tell the difference? Do you go by word of mouth? This person might have a good experience with one hosting firm, and the next could end up having a train wreck of an experience.

Train wreck. I like that expression. And it does describe what it is like when you are having a less than positive experience with a company.

Webhostinggeeks.com are not like that. When you go to their site you are given reviews of some of the more popular web hosting companies. They also have a “Best Of” section such as Best Budget Hosting, along with a slew of other pages where you can learn how to monetize, what host is the best for you, and basic web hosting information.

This is a great service. Now go out there and use it.

Ok, maybe not cheap eyewear, but I do need some glasses that aren’t going to set be back a mint. I have had my current glasses for going on a couple of years, and while there is nothing really wrong with them I want a new pair. My prescription hasn’t changed. It has remained the same for quite a few years now, so I am in the market for some inexpensive, ok cheap, eyeglasses.

So I started my search once again, and fired up my favorite search engine. One of the links that came up was from The Chicago Tribune about the options that are out there when you are looking to buy some glasses.

According to the article: “Americans spend $28.7 billion annually on vision products and services, according to the Vision Council of America. Eyeglass frames and lenses make up the largest portion, about $16 billion.

Many of the 147 million adult eyeglass wearers probably don’t know they could be getting a better price because few shop around. Prices vary widely. People can pay more than $1,000 for a pair of glasses, while at least one Internet provider promises a pair for $8. An identical pair of eyeglasses costs from $178 to $390, depending on the optician or optometrist, according to research in seven U.S. cities by Consumers’ Checkbook, a consumer information guide.”

The article goes on to say: “The single most important consumer tip for buying eyeglasses is to relax. Inexpensive glasses pose no health risk to your eyes. Even a bad pair of glasses — lenses, specifically — won’t give you an eye infection or permanently damage your eyes, although they could cause headaches until they are fixed.”

That all being said, zenni optical is the place that I am going to be looking for my next pair of eyeglasses.

Namaste
