Web Hosting Pal

30 April 2008

The following is a paid review: Too much information… Can you really have too much information, or is it really just a matter of not enough time… If you’re looking for information on choosing a web hosting provider, you should check out Web Hosting Pal.

Web Hosting Pal has reviews of web hosting companies, and yeas, there is a ton of information. I know, you think you can just ask a few friends who they use and get the scoop, and hey, that might work, but Web Hosting Pal… man, those dudes are your Pals! I looked up Globat and it said “Globat has been removed for too many complaints” how awesome is that? It’s like one of your bros looking out for you. “Dude, you wanna host with XYZ Hosting Biz? Run, run fast! They suck hard!” yeah… that’s the kind of information I am talking about!

Right now they have a top 10 list of web hosting companies, but I’m hoping that gets expanded in the future. Why not the top 50, or heck, even the bottom 50? You gotta know who to avoid just as much as who to go with, right?

The focus seems to be on low-priced hosting packages, which is good, because that is what most beginners need, and need to know about. If you’re running as root on you own VPS instance, you might not get as much value from Web Hosting Pal, but if you are just starting out, and have no friends to ask, hit up Web Hosting Pal and see if you can learn a few things. Deal? Yes… got it.

Air Ambulance

29 April 2008

The following is a paid review: I hear the clock ticking ticking ticking on the shelf behind me… It could mean only one thing… time was running out!

There were not a lot of options. She needed medical attention, but not just any medical attention, medical attention that could only be found in a far away land, and we had to get there. Fast.

Things were getting worse, and I knew that no automobile or watercraft was going to get us there in time… but we had one hope, and that hope rested on an air ambulance service.

But where would one find an air ambulance service at this time of night? Wait! What’s this? A web site that can provide information? Why, it’s air ambulance service! Yes! Our prayers were answered…

We were able to charter a flight from New York to Hawaii and get the critical care we needed. While we started to worry about her fading fast during a cross-country road trip, our worries turned to relief knowing that she would get the medical care possible while flying in an airplane, all thanks to the amazing powers of the air ambulance service.

Now an air ambulance service is not for everyone. I mean, if you don’t care about your loved ones, then by all means, put them on a bus, or charter a small fishing boat, and see if they survive the trip. But come on, that’s just not right! If you care about someone, damn the expenses! Charter a flight and get them on an air ambulance. They’ll thank you for it when they’re recovering, and they’ll remember it in their later years when they are giving away their millions… and you’ll be right there in line to get what’s due… all thanks to air ambulance service.

The Tennis Channel

10 October 2007

The following is a paid review: I’ve played tennis before, and I sort of know how. Even though my wife will tell you I do not know how to play tennis, I think I do. (Though it does make me very tired, what with all the running around.) In high school we’d play HOME RUN where you would try to hit the tennis ball over the fence, and then spend at least 5 minutes fetching it from the weeds. It was fun. Last Summer when we went to play tennis at the local park, I was sitting on a bench off to the side of the court drinking from a water bottle and all of a sudden WHAM! Emma slams a tennis ball straight into my throat. Water everywhere, and I sorta choked a little bit, but was fine. Emma felt bad but I laughed it off. I’m sure it looked hilarious to bystanders. My wife likes to watch tennis on TV, I am going to recommend http://www.thetennischannel.com/ to her. Tennis is pretty exciting to watch. The Tennis Channel is a cable TV channel offering 24 hour tennis coverage. It is available in most parts of the US. I don’t know if we have it, cuz I had to drop all our sports channels to get a faster net connection, all the better to browse www.thetennischannel.com I guess! I like the photos the best, they are hilarious. I’ve worked with sports photographers, and I know it’s hard, these are great shots! If you want tennis news or scores, they have that stuff too. There are also message boards and a ‘court finder’ and other stuff that would definitely appeal to the tennis freak in your life.

online casino bluebook

5 October 2007

The following is a paid review: You know, I’m not much for going to casinos. In fact, the first time I ever went was this Summer, and it was sort of nightmarish. See, parking was terrible, we ended up having to walk like a mile, and we get in the place, and have no idea how it works, and there is smoke everywhere, and we just lost money. So we go to cash out and we complained a bit, and the woman says “Oh, you should go upstairs, it’s smoke free” so we finally go upstairs, and ok. here’s my question… why do places that have smoke free areas force you to walk through the smoking area to get to them? What is wrong with these people!? Seriously… Anyway, it wasn’t much better, so we used up our money and got out of there. Personally, I’m a computer nerd, and if I really wanted to gamble, I would probably do it online. I know that Dave Slusher plays online poker, and Dawn and Drew used to promote some casino, but since I wouldn’t know where to start, I’d check out the online casino bluebook, which has reviews of online casinos, and links to what are considered the best of them. So, if you’ve got money burning a hole in your pocket you don’t know what to do with, and investing it just seems silly, you should definitely take a look at the online casino bluebook.

The Ultimate in Coupons

15 February 2007

Coupons save you money. I know this because I’ve used them. Sure, some people think that a coupon is just “a ticket that can be exchanged for a financial discount on a product” but really, it’s like a golden ticket! Remember the golden ticket that the kid in that movie found? Because of that ticket, he got fame and fortune and saw a girl turn blue and a kid get put into a TV set, and he got a big factory that made chocolate.

I like chocolate. I hope I can get some coupons for chocolate.

In the old days, you had to get coupons from the newspaper. (My daughter likes to cut out coupons, but I think it’s more the process of looking and finding and cutting that interests her, she never buys anything!) Anyway, nowadays you can get coupons online. Yes, that’s right, online coupons from places like UltimateCoupons.com

10% off, 15% off, even 20% off! If you purchase products, coupons can save you money.

Insurance Is Weird

17 August 2006

Insurance is one of those things that I don’t like to think about. I mean, I know you’re supposed to have insurance, but damn, it usually costs a lot of money. If you’re lucky your employer (if you have one) will pay for it. If not, well, be careful in all you do is the best advice. And buy lots of adhesive medical strips.

This one time, the window in the van I owned broke, and when I called the insurance company, they couldn’t help me because I lowered the coverage about a month earlier. Damn!

People tell me that when you have insurance, and try to make a claim, the company will drop you. I don’t know if that is true, but supposedly it happened to this guy I know. (Or so he says!)

On the upside, I did get enough insurance so that if I die, my kids will get a huge freakin’ pile of money. I’m still not 100% sure I should have mentioned that to them, so watch my back! If I mysteriously disappear, please check into it.

Anyway, if you are really into insurance, supposedly the folks at Find Local Insurance.com (aka InsureMyHouse.com) can help you… you know… Find Local Insurance (dot com…)

AmigoFish

9 July 2006

I used to go fishing with my Dad when I was a kid, and we’d catch Bluegill and Largemouth Bass and other stuff, but rarely did we catch what we loved… We’d usually just catch fish. Who loves fish? I know I don’t…

If you love podcasts, then try out that AmigoFish thing. You tell it what kind of podcasts you like, and it does some sort of voodoo magic involving fishing rods, and somehow it has great authority and tells you to sit down and shut up and listen to some podcasts…

What? You still don’t get it? Just watch the video, and it will all make sense… My job here is dunn…

The Dawn and Drew Show

8 July 2006

Back before the Camaro was know as “The Car that Beat the Record” there were 12 different kinds of cheese, but these 12 different kinds of cheeses were at war with each other, and no one could calm the cheeses, no matter how hard they tried.

The along came Dawn, who started yelling “DAMIT!” and even though she probably should have been yelling “DAMNIT!” Drew insisted she yell “Dammit!” exactly 300 time, which for some odd reason she did.

DAMit

About this time, gas prices became so high, that no one could drive that damn Camaro anymore, so we retired it to an old dairy farm in Wisconsin, where it sits today. At the retirement ceremony, Dawn yelled “Dammit!” 11 more times, and that had quite an effect on us all, especially Drew, who was keeping count.

Finally, the War of the Cheeses, ended, and Provolone become the supreme ruler of all cheeses. Cheddar became the Minister of Podcasting, and with that some guy named Pete told a guy he knew named Drew that he should try out that podcasting thing… And the result my friend, is The Dawn and Drew Show!
