Hey there friends. As some of you know, I'm on a mission to find a web host for my (future) domain. I'm looking for something that's reliable and affordable and I've pretty much just spent my time on Google reading up on which one does what and what users believe is better. During my quest, I stumbled upon Web Host Rating . Really now... If I just knew of this first, it would have saved me plenty of time. Right on their home page, you'll find a listing for whatever type of web host you need, plus a 5-star rating system that ranks the hosts. You have multiple domains? Click on the link on the left and a list of web hosts that can service your needs will come to light. On a budget, like me? They got a listing for that too. Check it out and save yourself some time. I think I'm just that much closer to deciding on where I'm going to reside. Especially after reading their article on "Cheap Hosting" Good stuff, this is. A great article on what you should look for when a company offers you cheap hosting. Check it out. Later.

Entrecard Issues
Hey there. I've had a few issues with logging into Entrecard. It's been extremely frustrating since I'm trying to recipricate the blog views that I receive from friends. It has been this way since Thursday. Entrecard Support told me that it's a "select" group of people that are experiencing the problem, it just so happens that I was in that group. Not even resetting the password worked. I was able to log in today, but I hope that was the last of that issue. Later

I Want a Cabin Cuddler!!
Hey there. I need a Cabin Cuddler. I've traveled a few times for business related reasons and each time I'm on the plane, the man or woman next to me just so happens to have the A/C on full power. Considering that I'm on a plane and not wanting to get up and go through the luggage to find something warm, I sit there... freezing. If I had one of these babies, I would assure myself that it is coming on the plane with me. I would wrap myself in it's travel blanket and just be comfortable for once. And if by chance I'm not cold, I would use the pillow that comes with it. We all know that the seats aren't that comfortable to begin with so why not use the pillow to better position myself. It is better than taking an in-flight pillow. Who knows when was the last time they washed it and don't forget... they're not free anymore. I might as well take my own, especially since I know how clean it is.
Come to think of it... My wife can also use it in the office. She's one of those types that get cold easily. Since we're in an office, she constantly wears dresses and skirts but because the office has Antarctic temperatures, she always has a sweater wrapped around her legs to keep them warm. Might as well put the Cabin Cuddler to good use since our flights do not happen every 2 weeks or so. I would not doubt it if she will use it as "footsies", since the Cabin Cuddler has pockets to keep your feet warm. lol "Footsies" have always been her favorite. Later.

Giving Small Busniesses Their Recognition
Hey there friends. Ever tried using a local directory to find a business? You type in what you are looking for, type in the city and state and VOILA! Seems simple enough, right? That is until you go to the place listed only to find that your search for Albuquerque moving directs you to a bunch of non-licensed teenagers looking to move your home furnishings for a quick buck. If you had gone to Click Smart you wouldn't be in that predicament. Click Smart only lists small business that are not only in good standing with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) but are also licensed by the state in their field. So instead of a crap shoot, you know that you're results for movers in Albuquerque will display grade A movers that have gone trough the trials and tribulations to be tops in their field.

Olympic Game?
Hey there. As most of know by now, the Olympic games are well into their second week and many competitions have been held and won. I love the games. I think it's because I'm so competitive that I want to see my country go out there and kick ass. Well, last night I was up watching the games, as I have been these past two weeks. On the local channel, I see the big name sports going on. Track & field and high diving, stuff like that. On the "Olympic" channel, I see the "Race Walk". WTF!?!?! That's right. Race Walk. I couldn't believe it. I've never heard of such a thing. Someone was going to get a gold medal for being able to walk real fast. It was the women's race and my first impression of it was, "Damn, they look like fish trying to walk on their back fin." I even got my wife up so she could see it.
I'm for diversity, I'm for great atheltic feats, but I'm not sure that power walking should be an olympic competition. There has been talk that baseball will be removed from the olympic games. Now, I'm not a baseball fan. I find it quite boring (to watch at least) but nevertheless, I recognize that it takes atheltic ability to be able to perform at a high level. Especially when you're up against the best in the world. And from what I hear, baseball will be removed as an olympic game starting with the next olympiad in London. C'mon on now. We are going to keep power walking but get rid of baseball??? Unless I'm missing something, that is stupid. Maybe the race walk is an age old tradition that has been around as long as the loympic flame. If it is, I can understand why you want to keep it around. But if it's not, it's got to go. Later.
