Long Time no Write

Ok, so its been 2 years since I posted anything. Emily's recent blogging has prompted me to remember I even had made one. I dont plan on writing a ton or keeping up with it everyday like Em has but I am going to start using it to keep track of links I find intresting but dont have time to look at and may want to in the future. These may be useful to you as well or maybe not.

An update 3/30 and Bills contest.

Its been a while since I updated, and I thought I could keep up with this everyday! Well working the nightshift 6pm-6:30am every night doesn't help. So heres some things I have found online recently that you might like.


First, I got my season tickets for the Bills, I got two so I can take a guest to each game. Emily said she will only go if its nice out so that means she will probably only go to like one game based on the weather last season, that leaves 9 games (including preseason) I may have an extra ticket. So if you want to go with me I will take entrys in the form of a 100 words or less essay about why I should take you to the Bills game with me. Post your entries as a comment on this entry.


Do you think stores take your signature for credit card purchases seriously? Well apparently they don't, take a look at this! And after you read that check out part 2!


Did you do your taxes yet? Well if not you can do them for free online with turbo tax. I guess the government was gonna come out with a free efile system but turbo tax stopped them and said they would provide a free one. They just don't publicize it well compared to there $30 online service (only real difference is that the 30 service saves your return for next year so you don't have to fill everything out again). Check out the Free one Here.


If you are going for a job in computers and want to be prepared for your interview this site has a database of questions people have been asked in interviews and the correct answers.

Also I have been finding a lot of deal sites lately so before you buy anything, especially if it deals with computers then check out these sites.
Http://www.woot.com - The daily deal
http://www.techbargains.com -Excellent Technology deals, has updated list of cheapest price on some computer parts
http://www.slickdeals.net - Not too many updates daily but gets some good deals.
http://www.whatsyourdeal.com - Good site thats a little more diverse than techbargains.
http://www.flaminghotdeals.com - Another site I found recently havent looked at it too much
http://www.dealstudio.com/ - Another one I found recently.
