Amazon Cloud Player: “Oh yeah baby” – Chef
I just visited amazon.com for the sole purpose of purchasing Dumb & Dumber on Blu-Ray (because it’s hilarious) and was greeted with a rather lengthy message from Jeff Bezos (CEO/Founder of Amazon.com). These messages usually have to do with some new feature or product offering, and this was no exception. This is that letter: Now, … Continue reading

Captain America: The First Avenger–The First Official Trailer

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides…Another Go-Round for Jac–Excuse Me–Captain Jack Sparrow
The newest trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (Pirates of the Caribbean 4) was just released, and it looks pretty interesting. If you saw the first trailer you were likely intrigued, but not that excited. I was going to see it regardless, of course, but I wasn’t chomping at the bit (bit … Continue reading
Taxes for Amazon.com? If Walmart and Target Get Their Way…
If you’re like me, you are very familiar with amazon.com. If you’re like me, you shop there over most any other place because of their low prices, fast shipping, and lack of a state sales tax(most states–more on this later).

A&E’s Breakout Kings: White Collar Goes Blue Collar
Last night A&E aired the season premiere of their newest show, Breakout Kings. The basic premise is using criminals to catch criminals. Remind you of White Collar? It is very similar only this isn’t the FBI, and they’re not going after counterfeiters and art thieves. This show doesn’t have the suave and charm of Neal … Continue reading
