A little while ago, there was a job posting over at Engadget for a tech blogger. The reason they needed a tech blogger was because Ryan Block, one of the founding bloggers over at Engadget was leaving. What was he leaving to do?
Recently there was a podcast started and that podcast has been lighting of [...]

Remember the other week I talked about a little ad promotion. Well the winner has been picked and the Ad is up now.
The second part of the promotion was…if you remember
Buy 1 month advertising at Jonespc for $12 bucks and you get a second month free. Also you get 2 free months at Jonzee.com.

Well I’m a day late with this post but I happen to spend a good amount of time with Google Chrome after the download was made available Tuesday. What do I think? Well lets first go through my experience (briefly) and I’ll get to that.
Download and installation was pretty standard for me. Chrome installed then [...]

Today is the day…supposedly. Google announced that today there will be a download for a new browser.

I don’t know how it happened, I look at a lot of stuff on the web so I probably went somewhere that changed my country settings for Youtube. So I went fishing [...]

In case you didn’t notice, I changed the look of this blog again (one of these days I will get a unique theme for my blogs). When I was re-adding the plugins and other mods to this new theme, I decided to try out something different. If you visit my other blog (which I will [...]

If you remember, I have tried using just Ask.com, and Live.com as my main search engine for a time. Just to see what it would be like if Google went away. It wasn’t that bad, I could actually do that if needed. I know this is a little premature, but I figured Id try the [...]

I admit, Ive never been a big fan of Gamespot, as far as reading the website (I do listen to the podcast). So news of Jeff Gerstmann getting fired was almost non news to me. I didn’t know who Jeff Gerstmann was. The thing that did make me interested in that news was the controversy [...]
