Does anyone care? If I need to buy some tech I just go to Newegg.com or Amazon.com. I think the only reason anyone used this in the first place was to just to pick it up at the store. The company that bought this domain is the same one that owns TigerDirect.com and a chill to go down my spine just thinking about buying something from there.
This isn't the best way to use the domain and trademark, for the average person I think the first thing they will probably think is "Didn't that company go into bankruptcy?" Is that really something you want your customers to think when seeing your URL?
This could have been made into an awesome tech review site or some other tech type site. I think stepping away from the previous incarnation of the trademark from the start, then slowing adding tech products for sale would have been better for the brand.

Quickie Review: Angels & Demons

Meh, nothing too special about this movie. I felt like I was watching a cliff notes version of the book:
The overall feel of the movie is rushed and empty. It lacked soul and was at best an extended trailer for the real movie. If you must waste $7.50 on something, you’d be better off watching National Treasure buying some junk food and save yourself the two hours of your life you’ll never get back.
The Pope dies, something was stolen from the LHC and four Cardinals are kidnapped. Smart guy is asked to come to the Vatican and find the four Cardinals before they are killed. Smart guy runs about to a bunch of old churches trying to save the Cardinals while spouting random facts about history. One of the supposed good guys turns out to be the bad guy.

Ummm, What Is This

When I started watching this I kept waiting for her to take her top off or for some guy to walk into the shot and ask if she wanted to give him some oral pleasure. BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED! Instead she starts sing? Why she is making these horribly bad lip-sync music video. *Tip* turn off the sound and it looks just like one of those playboy playmate videos.

The hang of living here in Texas. I am really starting to think that my sleep pattern will never return to normal. The search for a job has been less then productive with a production of zero leads. I have no real idea where life will be taking me from here, guess I will just have to wait and see.

Loved it can’t wait to see where they take it. So basically:
I have to say using the story the way they did was a big risk and it paid out big time. All the actors fit perfectly into their characters and hit a complete homerun.
Angry man goes back in time to get revenge on some people and in turn changes the timeline and creates a completely different version of the Enterprise crew.

We made it down to Texas earlier this week. The main reason we came down was to take care of Sara’s Mother and of course it does hurt that I lost my job (Just at the right time?). It has been weird living at someone else place again and getting used to having to deal with other people’s rules. I have been trying to reset my clock to Central, it hasn’t been going well. I am starting to look for a job and spend my extra time updating this site and other things I had been neglecting (READING BITCHES!) because of the time I wasted on my previous job. I will be updating here and other places a lot more as to what I am up to.
