So as you can see, my posting is kinda speratic at this point in time.  I have noticed that my daily hits have dropped by a tone and I have way less traffic then compared to the past couple of months and I am totally to blame for that.

I just moved from Wisconsin to Atlanta, GA to go back to school.  I have mentioned before, I’m a Senior at Georgia Tech for Mechanical Engineering (hey, if you know any company looking to hire some fresh outta college MEs with 5 years of actual experience, let me know, I’ll throw them my resume!).

So I am getting about 20 spam comments a day now.  Some are obvious, some are more disquised… for example, “Could you post more articles like this” or “<Well Known Blogger Name> wrote about this recently too, your article is much better”.

The URLs always lead to some spam site so it’s fairly easy to catch.  Anyone else having this issues?  I’m contemplating adding some extra security to prevent bots from posting spam!

I’m sorry, but I’m starting to get upset with Sony’s Game Division.  They just announced yet another bundle for the masses, this time it’s a limited edition 160GB model that is packaged with Uncharted.  You see, this is my problem… for almost 2 years, Sony’s newest console has sucked.  No one wanted it and it hasn’t been until recently that the system is gaining an edge in North America.

Hey, I was reading a story on Digg about the weirdest places you can find wireless hotspots in LA and it got me thinking.  They have places like car washes, mechanics, and even people’s homes.  I just wanted to discuss some good ideas they brought up. [READ MORE]

Hey console gamers, I was just wondering if you have ever been enlightened to the world of Homebrew.  Homebrew games and software are consumer generated content for you consoles.  They are generally released for free and under the GNU license agreement (many times they are open source as well).

Once you’ve modded your console or handheld, you can often pirate office games.  This practice could potentially be the downfall of the homebrew community, but hey, sometimes we can’t afford all those great games that keep coming out! [READ MORE]

I need to turn a profit with this blog and to do that, I want to sell some private ads.  You see those 2 square ads above the EntreCard widget, I’m selling those!  You can put your pretty little 125×125 ad right there for the entire blogosphere to see, COOL HUH?

Anyways, I keep track of the click action and depending on how good your ad looks and what it is advertising, it gets anywhere between 30-60 clicks a month.  This data has been collected over the past 2 months, so this number will probably grow in the coming months.

I now have a Google PageRank of 3 and have a site that is close to breaking 100,000 Alexa ranking, so the prices I’m looking to charge are pretty minimal for what you will be getting (especially since it would cost you way more in EntreCard credits to advertise on here).

Anyways, for more information, please click here and feel free to email me at the email listed.

Oh boy, apparently if you are making Reginald Peterson sub sandwich of Jacksonville, FL, you better make it right.  According to Newsweek, Mr. Peterson called 911 TWICE to report that the Jacksonville subway made his sub incorrectly.  The first time he called he was upset that they didn’t put the sauce on his spicy Italian, the next was to report that the police weren’t coming fast enough.

Honestly, what is this world coming to?  Next time I have a telemarketer call me, I’m calling 911 and reporting the catastrophe.  Or better yet, when the underpaid and overworked waitress at Webbs forgets to top off my coffee, I’ll have the police there ready to arrest her, SERVES YOU RIGHT BITCH!

But don’t get any ideas, the moron was arrested for using 911 incorrectly.  He probably would have gotten away with a warning of sorts but he got belligerent with police after they tried telling him the proper way to use the emergency hotline.

Better late then never, it’s the beginning of August and my website is now 2 months old… boy has it matured. I feel like my website is actually becoming something. Want to know what I’m talking about, check past the break to see what I mean! [READ MORE]

Oh boy, that might have been one of the most misleading titles on this blog yet.  You see, The Consumerist is reporting that American Airlines really isn’t as American as we would hope because they charged an American soldier $100 in extra baggage fees.  I promise, from now on I’ll keep the word American to a once per sentence thing because even though I’m a patriot, that’s too much patriotism.

Anyways, should I be up in arms like every other tool bag on the internet?  The story made it to the front page of Digg and only 3 people actually made sense in the comments.  I buried the story because it’s stupid (but not stupid enough to not blog about… hmmm Jesse, what are you doing?).  The Consumerist readers are ranting and raving in that comments section as well… I want to see the rants here too because I’m about to piss you all off!
