What's Your Theme Song?

I found this article on lifehack.com about how music can inspire you to be more productive or boost your energy to get you through the challenge you are about to face. That's good and all but it reminded me of my second semester of my sophomore year in collage, I had a theme song for every class I was taking.

Class 1: Computer Skills - Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, from the Mazda commerical
- in this class we were learning about Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and one of the first things we were taught for Excel was that you could "zoom" in and out of the spreadsheet; and that is where theme songs for classes began.

Class 2: Ethics - It's My Life, by Bon Jovi
- one day my professor was talking about how we should have a non-selfish outlook on life "not like the song 'It's My Life'" (he really said that), so it wasn't too hard to pick the theme song for this class.

Class 3: Psychology - Boom, Boom Ain't It Great To Be Crazy
- no offense.

Class 4: Sociology - Our House, by Madness
- this was kind of a weak one, my professor loved to talk about all the different kinds of living situations across the world.

Class 5: Technical Writing - Conjunction junction what's your function, School House Rock
- this professor tried breaking down hard concepts into smaller sections so we "could understand it better" It was like every lecture was an episode of School House Rock.

Class 6: Biology - Let Me Tell You 'bout the Birds and the Bees......
- Now I know how every plant and animal makes babies.

Fast forward a couples years and here is my present theme song:

Why Don't You Get a Job, by Offspring (the job search is a little slow at times)

New School vs. Old School: Toys

They don't make toys like they use to. Here's an example; my daughter is one year old and this past Christmas she got a toy phone with wheels and a little pull string, but the phone cord connecting the receiver to the base is two inches long. When she picks up the receiver to "talk" she picks up the entire phone. Up until this weekend I thought the toy maker had one too many screws loose, but someone pointed out that they do this for safety reasons. But now that I think about it there could be a strangulation threat if the cord was long; on the flip side the string to pull the phone behind you is about a foot and a half long, and that could definitely be a strangulation threat. Like I said before they don't make toys like they use to.

I remember the good old days when if you got stabbed by a pencil you needed to rush to the hospital because you might get lead poisoning. When I was growing up I had a friend that lived up the street that had the all metal Tonka Truck, Front Loader and Bulldozer. If you threw one of those at some ones head you could do some serious damage. But now they make everything out of plastic so it's "safer". We grew up with all these "dangerous" toys and we all survived.

Update: Here are some other articles I found that cover this same subject; Deadly Toys of Days Gone By and The 10 Most Dangerous Toys of All Time

Battle of the Browsers -- We Need Your Help!

When we first started this blog I knew that people would be viewing it from different browsers but I did not realize that it might look different depending on the browser. I am a fan of the FireFox browser, I am the type of person that has 3 or 4 browser windows open with 5 or 6 tabs in each window, some times I can get carried away. There are just so many features and add-ons and I could go on and on; but promoting FireFox is not why I am writing this post. It was brought to my attention that the blog didn't look right when viewed with Internet Explorer. Since I love using FireFox so much I do all my blogging with FireFox so I never use Internet Explorer. So when I looked at the blog in Internet Explorer it was in fact messed up, the right sidebar was underneath the left sidebar at the bottom of the page. I was able to fix this by expanding the out-wrapper width, but that got me thinking that there has to be a better way to solve this problem. Please help!! Also another big problem is the "Posted by whoever" at the end of every post, that whole thing has been jammed into a column that's three letters wide, I have no idea how to fix this either. So if anyone has any insight please let us know, leave a comment or email us.

Also if you notice any other problems that you would like us to fix let us know about those too. I know that I might be opening up the flood gates on this one but we are ready for anything you want to dish out.

Yay Discounts!

I love to get discounts. When it comes to traveling I scour the internet looking for the best deal on cruises or flights. Lately I have been interested in toys for my baby. She is growing up a needs a few more toys. I found some great discounts on baby toys at an online coupon website. They have a ton of coupons for everything you can imagine, not just baby toys. There is home and garden, travel, jewelery, gifts, electronics, and the list goes on. You go to the website and get the coupon code for when you are shopping online. This is a great system with hundreds of coupons. Check it out, after all saving money is making money!

Top 5 Reason Not to Get Vista

Today I say a video at cnet TV that was entitled "Top Five Reasons Not to Get Windows Vista" by Tom Merritt. I thought he brought up some very good points that I agree with. I am, by no means, a windows hater; I use windows at work and at home, so you could say that I am a mild Windows user. It is good enough to do the things I need it to.
Here are Tom Merritt's top 5 reason not to get Windows Vista:

5. The search function is buried
The search function is not on the desktop, something that everyone sees every time they boot up their computer. Although search in Vista is harder to find, it is found in more places than in XP.

4. Closed Microsoft Ecosystem
The Vista Welcome Center is nice but it is pretty much Microsoft only Service Center. Vista comes with a built in RSS reader but it only works with IE. It's just another example of the Microsoft monopoly.

3. Lack Native Applications
All the non-Microsoft software companies are scrambling to get their programs to work in Vista. Even Apple has not come out with a compatible version of iTunes for Vista. What's so great about Vista if you can't use all the old programs you can't live without.

2. Price, Vista is Expensive
Here is the break down of prices for Vista:
Full Version
•Vista Ultimate $450
•Vista Business $341
•Vista Home Premium $269
•Vista Home Basic $233
Upgrade Version
•Vista Ultimate Upgrade $269
•Vista Business Upgrade $224
•Vista Home Premium Upgrade $179
•Vista Home Basic Upgrade $116
With Vista Ultimate priced at $450, for the same amount of money you could get a new computer, but it probably wouldn't be good enough to run Vista.

1. Disappointment
You can't have all the features advertise in the commercials unless you get the top Vista package (Ultimate). So all that cool stuff you saw on TV only comes with Vista Ultimate. Tom said this about the lower level Vista versions "Sometimes less is more but this time it's just less."

I am sure one day I will buy a new computer and it will have Vista on it and I am ok with that, but until then there are a lot of wrinkles to iron out.
If you are one of those people that wants to have the Vista feel or look but don't have the cash to go out and buy a copy, I saw another video at cnet TV that can help, "Make XP look like Vista."

It was another video by Tom Merritt, he gives some suggestion on how to get "the flavor of Vista for free."

Widgets:
Widgets are little programs that float around your desktop. In Vista, widget are located in the Windows side bar. You can get a desktop side bar from desktopsidebar.com; you can even download a skin to look like areo glass, that fancy Vista "look" that everyone talks about. I have not personnel tried this out, but a program similar to this that I did use is Rocket Dock, it is an OS X-like Dock for your Windows computer. The widgets that I use come from the Yahoo! Widget Engine, which is very similar.
Update: I downloaded a copy of Desktop Sidebar and tried it out. It works our really well on my work computer where I depend heavily on Outlook for email and scheduling, it all integrated into the sidebar. I haven't been had to get the Feed function to work yet but it will be really nice once that is up and running. The only issue that I have with it is that I takes up a lot of your screen if you have it up all the time, so I have it set on auto hide so it pops out when I need it and then when I am done it slides off the screen.
I also found out that the latest version of Google desktop comes with a side bar that is pretty comparable to the Desktop Sidebar. If you are one of those people who is all things google, you will probably like the Google sidebar better.

IE7:
Internet Explorer 7 is the default browser in Vista. So you can get that Vista feel using it. My suggestion as far as IE7 is it my look like Vista but it smell like Windows, meaning there are still some security issues with IE7 that could leave you vulnerable. Plus there are so many other browsers out there that are so much better, "so why settle when you can select" browsers like Firefox (my personal favorite).

Hover over programs the task bar get a preview:
You can download a Windows XP Power Toy called Alt Tab replacement. I downloaded it and it's pretty cool, instead of the little box with all the icons of your open programs it's a little bit bigger box with a preview of the window your are switching to.

Tom's final suggestion is if you want to power through and redo everything and have your Windows Xp look exactly like Vista you can get the Windows Vista Transformation Pack. It's free all you need to do is go to windowsxlive.net. This redoes your entire machine to look like Vista, and it even includes a side bar. He does offer a word of warning in that this installation changes systems files so you shouldn't just do it on a whim, you should read all the documentation first. He also says "once installed you can fool all your friends and family into thinking you have Vista"

So enjoy your new Vista (wink wink)

DayLight Savings Adjustment

Well it is news to me but Daylight Savings Time is coming a couple weeks early this year. I remember people talking about moving it up to help save on energy and such, I was opposed to the idea from the beginning. This year is the beginning of the changes. The new Daylight Saving Time date is March 11. This means we are springing forward on March 11 instead of the usual date in the beginning of April. Since this is different from normal all your PCs, palms, cell phones and such may not know this is happening, so be sure to check and double check times on the 11 and there after for the next couple of weeks. If you were luckily enough to buy a new computer or you have Vista, you are spared this inconvenience because it knows about the change. When you have appointments over the next few weeks after Daylight Savings it would be a good idea to check and recheck times with everyone to make sure everyone is on the same time. This could cause you being late for a few appointments or for work, but I'm sure the excuse won't go over too well, so just be warned now! Spring FORWARD one hour on March 11!

Me and My Bacteria

I use to think that I ate lunch alone, at my desk, but according to professor Charles Gerba of the University of Arizona I am sharing my lunch with millions of germs and bacteria. To put it bluntly he says " The average office desktop has 400 times more bacteria than the average office toilet seat." I eat my lunch at my desk every day!!!! I could hardly believe what I was reading; so basically if I ate my lunch off a toilet seat I would be more bacteria free than eating it off my desk. On the bright side, luckily I am a man because "women have three to four times the number of bacteria in, on and around their desks, phones, computers, keyboards, drawers and personal items as men do." The reason for this is women have more places for bacteria to hide; knickknacks, cosmetics, hand lotions and food, all things found in and around a woman's desk. Sometimes I will bring licorice to work to eat throughout the day; I will take out a few pieces, eat one and put the others on my desk. I try to keep the others pieces off the paper and files on my desk so I don't have little pieces of candy suck to them, but after reading this article none of my food will touch my desk, ever.

Professor Gerba offers this advise to combat this big bacteria blight, "using a hand sanitizer and using a disinfectant on office surfaces helps, with 25 percent fewer bacteria found on surfaces that were regularly disinfected. Once-a-day use should be sufficient. 'You don't have to go crazy with it, but with the key areas, desktops, phones and keyboards probably need to be disinfected once in a while.'" Needless to say I am bringing a hand sanitizer and disinfectant to work with me tomorrow.

Ocean's 13

One of my favorite movies is coming out with another sequel, Ocean's 13. I just saw the trailer on the quicktime site and it looks pretty good. I loved Ocean's Eleven, it was great to have the whole movie be the setup for the BIG job. In Ocean's 12 the focus seemed to be more on the stress of repaying "Benedict" instead of the jobs to get the money; and when it came down to it all they had to do was the old backpack switch-a-ru. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed this movie too but I love movies that go through all the details of what they are going to do before they do it. This latest installment to the Ocean trilogy looks like they have a lot of fun pulling off whatever job they have planned. One of the greatest things about all these Ocean movies is that all the original actors are still playing their same characters. To me there is nothing worse than making a sequel and having one, or more, of the lead roles played by someone other than the original actor. Ocean's 13 comes out June 8th, I can't wait to see it.

Being Sick is NO Fun

I'd like to add that in addition to being sick is no fun that being sick and taking care of a sick baby is even more not fun! It seems that whenever the baby gets sick so do I. Last time this happened I was 100% sure she gave it to me. This time I don't know what happened. We were fine and then next thing I know there is crying, and whining, and mucus flowing everywhere... and the baby wasn't very happy either!

Luckily, I have the best baby in the world and she loves to take medicine, so keeping her not so yuckie is easy. We just have to lay her down, give her a squirt of medicine and then clap and say "yay" and repeat until the medicine is gone.

All of this illness didn't hit until Saturday so of course our regular doctors office wasn't open so off to urgent care we went. We were very surprised to find that we were the only ones there and so we didn't have to wait long. Unfortunately, the doctor we saw was NOT a pediatrician and didn't seem to like kids in the least. It was very apparent in the ways we had to hold down our baby while he checked her throat and ears and such. It was very sad. He told us what we already knew and gave a prescription and sent us on our way.

Now we are two days into the prescription and we can see a world of difference. She is able to sleep a little better, her eyes aren't so puffy, and the mucus has decreased (thank heaven!) It's hard to convince a toddler with a raw nose that she needs to get her nose wiped for the twentieth time in 10 minutes. It's all good experience and increases my knowledge. This is my first baby and now I know not to panic with a runny nose, going to urgent care isn't the end of the world, and clapping and saying "yay" will get you pretty far with a toddler! Now on to more of life's lessons!

Walmart Jumps on the Movie Downloading Band Wagon

First, there was regular Walmart, a place to buy stuff at discounted prices. Then came Super Walmart, a place to buy stuff and food at discounted prices. And then came Walmart.com, a place to buy stuff online at discounted prices, which includes downloading music and more recently downloading movies and TV shows. Now is it just me or is Walmart jumping onto every band wagon they can get on. And to top it all off the Walmart video download site doesn't work in Firefox, and I would think that the same people who are using Firefox would be the same people downloading movies. Another thing that I don't understand is that Walmart is one of the leading sellers of DVDs so it's not like they are suffering from a lack of movie sales. Here's an interesting fact I just found out: the all-time total number of legal movie downloads in history is less than the first day's sales of the DVD of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. (ref) Downloading movies just hasn't really caught on yet, if there was an easy way to get the movies that you download from your computer to your TV that would be something I could get on board with, but sitting in front of my computer for two hours just doesn't float my boat. (Some of you may be thinking, "Why don't you just burn it to a DVD and watch it on your TV??" That is a good idea, I guess I will have to go pick up a DVD burner at Walmart this weekend.)

Product Testing

Last November I wrote an article about online survey companies and whether or not they were scams. I told of my experiences with three companies that were legit. You can read that article by clicking here. The reason I bring up the survey companies are because I was recently sent some shampoo and conditioner to test. Along with taking surveys for these sites once in a while they send a product for me to test and then take surveys about. Sometimes I know what the brand of the product is, and sometimes I don't. In the past I was sent two huge containers of laundry detergent to test. A couple months ago I was sent a jumbo pack of Huggies Diapers. Now I have some shampoo and conditioner. With the most recent product I don't know the brand. I was a little nervous to test the shampoo and conditioner without knowing the brand. My husband offered to test it first to make sure my hair wouldn't fall out or turn green or something. I'm a week into the test and things are going well. Every time I wash my hair I try to think of how I'll answer the questions that are inevitably coming. Now to the point: not only am I getting points which convert into cash (or prizes if I so choose) I am also being sent products. I am making money and saving money by being a member or these survey companies. The laundry detergent came when we were still in college in 2005 and it was great! It saved up a lot of money at a time when we were particularly poor. Free diapers! Who wouldn't want free diapers? Diapers are very expensive so it was nice to take a break from buying them and have the company give up some for free. Now with shampoo and conditioner, I realize that isn't too expensive, but it still will save up $10 this month because we won't have to buy any. That is always nice. Once again I recommend looking into the companies in the article I referred to in the beginning of this post. There are many benefits to be had. Also, if you have any other survey companies or product testing companies that are legit and you enjoy being a part of, please let me know!

My Computer is Missing a Hard Drive

One of the blogs I frequently visit is Web Worker Daily, it is a blog that gives great resources and advise about how to manage an at home web based business. It would be my dream to one day live that kind of lifestyle, but frankly I don't see how that could ever happen. One of the topics they recently covered was how Google is becoming more web worker friendly with all their new applications they developing; applications like Gmail, Google Talk and the recent Docs & Spreadsheets. And on top of all this Google has integrated Gmail and Docs & Spreadsheets allowing you to open and store documents and spreadsheets online from Gmail. So now instead of having to download the document, make all the need changes, upload it and thensend it to all those that need it; everything can be done in an online environment making sharing and collaborating a whole lot easier.

So what does all this have to do with your computer not having a hard drive?? Well, let me explain.

With all these applications that are available online, including operating systems in the near future, a hard drive really isn't needed. The most important piece of hardware becomes the modem or wifi connection. "How can this be?" you might ask. This is how I see the day of hard drivless computers. You are at you favorite wifi hot spot, you instantly connect to the net and your computer boots up in your favorite online operating system. You need to write a paper for English class so you open up Google Docs, write up you paper and email it to your teacher. You need to store some you photos because your memory card is getting too full, so you upload them directly to your favorite online storage site, edit them at your favorite photo editing site and now you have then card space for all the pictures you are going to take on your next vacation. It's all as easy as that. And to top it all off if you live in a place like Atlanta, GA where they have blanketed wifi you can do all this pretty much anywhere. A situation like this may not be happening in the next few months but I definitely see it the next few years. Who needs a bigger hard drive when you have the whole world wide web at your finger tips.

Love is in the Air... or is that the smell of cookies?

We bought some valentine cookies the other day and decided to make them last night. They are sugar cookies. You bake the cookies, then when they come out of the oven you frost them and add the cute edible "stickers" to them. It was a very fun Valentine's day activity, although very lazy. I used to make homemade sugar cookies for every holiday known to man and decorate them very cute, but I have gotten lazy lately. Hopefully when we move and things get settled I'll bring back that tradition. Plus homemade sugar cookies taste a LOT better than store bought ones.

Happy Groundhog Day

Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow which means we can expect an early spring instead of six more weeks of winter! YAY!

We got rejected from a blog carnival!

Did you even know it was possible to get rejected from a blog carnival? I thought it would be pretty hard to get rejected. Yet, I was, and it is going to be entertaining for all the readers out there as to why. There was a misunderstanding in the post I submitted. I won't tell you the blog or even the carnival, just that it had to do with eating out. I submitted a recent article about the amount of unique visitors to McDonald's. So for your discernment and entertainment here is what was said. This is the email I received from the host of this carnival explaining why it won't be playing in the carnival:

Unfortunately, I did not use your submitted article for the Carnival of (something about eating out). I know that my listing said "Almost anything else (within reason) that deals with restaurants and dining out," but I felt that your topic was not newsworthy - rather just a viral marketing post designed to generate income rather than content. I do not begrudge anyone making a buck or two off of their web site, but yours was a blatant viral marketing post, and I did not feel that this was the appropriate venue for that.

I invite you to check out the first edition of the Carnival at (I'm not so nice to give it a link since I got rejected) to see what I had in mind for submissions and I would gladly welcome a re-submission next month if you have a relevant topic that you would like featured.

The blue text is what I added in place of the name of the blog and the carnival. So I decided to nicely tell him what my true intent of that McDonald's post in my reply:

I respect your decision to not accept my post about McDonald's but I did want to clear up one thing for you. My post was in no way designed to generate income for me. The thought about McDonald's signs and how many people they have served struck a funny note with me when I thought of my blogs. Blogs run on visitors and we like unique visitors, so how many of McDonald's billions of visitors were unique? Who knows? This thought was new and original for me. I have never taken the time to think in depth about the McDonald's sign, and my post about it was as sincere as they come. I do admit I have written a few posts that have been used to hopefully get some good ads on my site or to bring in a lot of traffic. This McDonald's post did neither. I thought as members of the blogosphere we could all relate and find humor in this concept that had just struck me. Perhaps the humor I was trying to convey didn't show itself to you.

As I write this letter my husband brings up a point I never thought of. That perhaps my using unique visitors as my relating to McDonald's I was directly talking about this carnival submission and all the unique visitors it would bring to my sight. That never occurred to me. I didn't write this post for the future (who might come to my site as a unique visitor) I wrote in regards to the past, who has been to my site as a unique visitor. I wasn't even really thinking about actual unique visitors, just the concept of them. If anything I thought I wouldn't be accepted in this carnival because you were looking for nicer restaurants than McDonald's.

You credit me with too much deceit. I love blog carnivals. I never have received so much traffic from them that it even makes a considerable difference in my blog earnings, I just think it is fun. I'm sorry for your misunderstanding of the post, and hopefully through this letter you can more better understand my goal in writing it and consider it for next months issue.

Thanks for contacting me and letting me know the situation.

I'd like to hear thoughts, comments, anything about this. My post was meant to be funny, this person took it as a marketing ploy. Apparently what I meant for it didn't come across. What do you the readers think?

WD-40 - What Can't It Do

I found this awesome website that has all these unknown fasts about a whole bunch of stuff. The items that really caught my eye was WD-40, I am a huge fan of using it on anything and everything I can. I would use WD-40 for common household tasks; unsticking locks, fix a sweaky hinge stuff like that, but after reading this long list I am going to have to pick up a case of WD-40 from the local warehouse store. Here are my top 5 uses for WD-40:

Prevent dead insects from sticking to your car. Spray WD-40 on the hood and grill so you can wipe bugs off easily without damaging the finish.
Remove baked-on food from a cookie pan. Spray WD-40 on cookie pan and wipe clean. Then wash with soap and water.
Remove chewing gum from the bottom of a shoe or sneaker. Spray on WD-40, wait, and pull the gum free.
Prevent squirrels from climbing into a birdhouse. Spray WD-40 on the metal pole or wires.
Free a tongue stuck to frozen metal in winter. Spray WD-40 on the metal around the tongue.

Check out all the other unknown uses for WD-40.
