Windows Vista Equals Pain Free Computing
Posted on July 10, 2008 - Filed Under Technology | 5 Comments
As mentioned earlier this afternoon I spent most of the evening installing Windows Vista and playing around with the new operating system. Having read and heard all of the compatibility horror stories when Vista was first introduced last year I must admit I’ve been avoiding the upgrade. But I keep a fair amount […]
Cost Captain Comes Through With Academic Discounts
Posted on July 10, 2008 - Filed Under Shopping, Technology | Leave a Comment
Well, I finally broke down and purchased Microsoft Office 2007 and Vista. I purchased them through Cost Captain using the Home School discount, so got them both for slightly more than $200. Not too bad, especially as the bulk of the purchase was paid for by a CostCaptain.com gift certificate that I’d received […]
Hunting For Another Webhost … Again
Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Technology, Webmastering | 1 Comment
While I’m fairly happy with the current webhost for Philaahzophy, Google’s continuing stance against anyone actually generating income on their blogs has me concerned about some future web projects. Google has flat out refused to give any page rank to any website I operate out of this hosting account, so I once again find […]

Modern technology let me down once again over the weekend. While driving up to Lodi to visit Fun Town and mark another roller coaster off my California checklist I took about 3 dozen pictures of “cool things” along the freeway. Upon reaching Fun Town, however my camera started returning memory card errors whenever I tried […]

Who needs American Idol? Not Alisa Apps and not anyone else with a video camera, and inertnet connection, and faith in their product. You see, Alisa Apps is using the power of the internet in general and YouTube in particular to run her very own Pop Star Challenge.
As the video explains all you […]

Did you ever think you’d like pop-ups? Me either, but now I love ‘em!
Of course, I’m not talking about popup ads that invade your web browser while surfing the web. No, I mean the popSuite from GoPoint that has finally made my laptop usable. I was pretty late adopting laptop technology […]
Is It Worth Buying Stumbles From StumbleUpon?

I’m still experimenting with StumbleUpon, trying to figure out how to get any kind of consistent return from this social bookmarking site. When I received a bonus for one of my recent blog posts I decided to try buying some stumbles directly from SU themselves to promote that very post - essentially giving the […]
