College is NOT cheap… but that’s really no secret. What seems to be a secret is finding ways that you can fund a college eduction.  Did you know that there are literally millions of scholarship and grant opportunities available with an estimated value in the billions?  Yes that’s BILLIONS with a B.  This money is made [...]

For those that have been tracking my progress with Xobni I have to say that today is a sad day.  After multiple attempts at trying to figure out if there was a way around my problem – nothing could be found – I really didn’t have much choice but to perform the uninstall.  In a nutshell, [...]

Another in my series of Valentines Day Shopping Posts… There is a LOT that I like about Overstock.com… $2.95 shipping, incredible selection, crisp clean website, and the ease of use. If you are not sure what to get someone for Valentine’s day and your going to be doing some shopping online then I would suggest [...]

If you are a user of Auctiva I am curious to hear your feedback about this auction management system.  I have a number of items that I am going to want to put on eBay and after searching through listings on eBay itself to see what people are using Auctiva came up quite a bit.  [...]

I use amung.us on my blow to show what posts people are currently viewing and where they come from… that is what this icon at the bottom of the pages does.  If you click on it and go to the MAPS you will notice that there is a large gap of missing stars in the continental US where [...]

I get my fair share of email every day… currently in the 150 – 200 range and that is after they’ve gone through our corporate mail filters so that number does not include spam.   I use Xobni and ClearContext IMS as plugins on my Outlook in order to increase productivity and still I find that I [...]

Another post in my continuing series of Valentine day gift ideas…. As Valentine’s day approaches jewelry is always on the potential gift list for your significant other. The problem that I have always had with buying jewelry is dealing with the shops. With the influx in online shopping it is quite easy to find diamond [...]

The subject of death and dying is not a very pleasant subject to talk about.  In the “Bucket List” our lead characters, played by Nicholson as the wealthy billionaire and Freeman as a family man and mechanic, face death head on when both are diagnosed with terminal cancer. Through the course of the movie, these [...]

I posted about my initial Xobni impressions a number of weeks ago.  Recall that Xobni (zob-nee), inboX spelled backward, is a Microsoft Outlook plug-in that provides you with nearly instantaneous access to “the most important information in your email”. This message is a follow-up to that message and provides more insight on my continued use. I think [...]
