Android Contact’s Birthdays In Your Calendar

March 28th, 2010

I’ve had my Android phone a week and a half now and I love it.  It brings everything together in to one phone.  Perhaps that is why they called it the Nexus One? But there was one “link” missing.  If you spent time entering birthday information for as many of your contacts as possible, they [...]

New Wave Communications: The Worst ISP in America

March 25th, 2010

It’s hard to even figure out where to start with a company as truly awful as New Wave Communications is, but I’ll do my best to start where my problems with them started, which is as soon as the took over my local cable network from Charter Cable in Spring of 2008. Since the very [...]

The Achievers: The Story of the Lebowski Fans Losers

March 2nd, 2010

First off, let me say I love The Big Lebowski.  I have attended local Lebowski events and had a blast at them.  It’s one of those movies that you watch the first time and you’re just confused.  You get some of the obvious jokes, but you’re mostly left going wtf was that?  Pretty soon you’ll [...]
