One of our families favorite vacation spots is Monterey Bay California especially with the little one. We’ve not taken our son to the aquarium in Monterey yet, but we expect him to love being able to walk around with the fish and sharks surrounding him. We’ve often times had troubles finding a (more…)

There are a lot of things to think about when running a RAID array. A lot of things that I wish I had been told about when I set up a RAID 5 array on my home computer. I used to run a single Western Digital Raptor 74GB HDD but as you can imagine the storage space quickly ran out, even with two other extra storage drives. It quickly dawned on me that I wasn’t doing myself any favors either as only 1/3 of my information was on a 10,000rpm hard drive and the rest was floating around on older bloated slow drives. It didn’t take long with this setup for me to realize that I needed something a little different. I soon switched over to a RAID 5 array with 4 500GB 7,200rpm HDD’s which has been the way I’ve been running things for a couple of years now. Bad thing is that what I’ve got is an industrial RAID array with consumer grade hard drives. This has caused a couple of crashes. Most of the crashes have done nothing since I am running RAID 5 a single hard drive failure doesn’t lead to data loss… but there was one time that I lost two drives around the same time (or rather one failed and during the rebuild phase a second failed) which lead me with a huge amount of data loss… Or so I thought. I’ve recovered data from crashed drives before, even took an old drive apart and put the platter in another drive of the same make and model to recover some data… that kind of data recovery isn’t too difficult but raid data recovery is a whole other ball game! Honestly when I lost my information from the dual drive crash I thought it was gone forever until a friend pointed me to some experts who specialize in RAID Data Recovery… I was very glad that I found them since I had so much in that array with work files and completely legal and legitimate movies I keep saved on my computer *caugh*

Very little gives me more joy than finding the perfect deal. That’s one reason I like scavenging through a flea market. I mean honestly that’s what you do at a flea market you scavenge. No one ever goes to a flea market with exactly what they want in mind because you never know what you might find, it’s not like a super mega sprawl-mart that has the exact same products every time you go there. The internet really reminds me of a flea market, you get a lot of good deals online… but there is a whole heck of a lot more crap to wade through to find those good deals. That’s why I like to share good deals with my friends (ehem that would be you )

The other day I was looking for eyeglasses for my wife and myself… Tired of paying outlandish prices for designer this and designer that I searched the internet for a good eyeglass deal. I quickly came across ZenniOptical.com their prices were most definitely the best I had ever seen… but was the quality there? The insanely low prices actually worried me for a little while the old saying about things that sound too good to be true came to mind. Less than a week later the pairs I ordered arrived (I figured it would be worth it to give it a try since I was only paying a tenth of what I would anywhere else). Boy was I pleasantly surprised when I got designer quality eye wear for pennies on the dollar! I have no doubt that you too will be pleasantly surprised at the great deals, and mega quality of Zenni Optical.

Lets face it, the way the economy has been going most of us are lucky to just have a job much less being able to pay our bills on time. So it is no wonder than PayDay loans are becoming ever increasing… but how do you know that you are getting the best deal for your payday cash advance? That’s a question I used to ask myself every time I went to apply for a payday loan advance… well that is I used to ask myself those questions until I heard about MoneyNowUSA.com

MoneyNowUSA.com searches their vast database looking through over 150 pay day lenders to get you absolutely the best deal imaginable in terms of lowest APR and the most money for you now! You can quickly and easily I was impressed to hear that 4 out of 5 applicants are approved for a payday loan through www.moneynowusa.com. That’s a pretty good statistic for this type of loan, especially in a world where getting any kind of loan is becoming more and more difficult to get without perfect or near perfect credit!

If applying for a payday cash advance you must be a legal U.S. citizen, over the age of 18 and be currently employed, and have a active/open checking or savings account to be eligible for a payday advance throughMoneyNowUSA. And don’t worry about your personal information MoneyNowUSA is a trustworthy and secure site that real-time encrypts all of your private and personal data, to protect you from identity theft. Always remember to only use payday loans in case of an emergency, and only apply and take out one payday loan at a time. And most importantly never take a payday loan out if you are unsure if you can pay it back when it is due. (Usually by your next paycheck).

I’ve lived in older houses before that had old cast iron sinks before, but never did I really see a problem with them or reason to upgrade (especially since they weigh a metric ton and are impossible to dispose of) until my wife and I moved into our new home. We love the new place, and are glad to be free of “the man” no longer renting but rather owning our house Largest problem we have right now is an old cast iron sink full of chips in its ceramic coating it gives permanent rust stains to all of our dishes if they sit for more than a couple hours. Thank goodness for modern (more…)

I’ve been planing a trip out to Boston to visit my good friend Alex McCurn. However with the way things are going I don’t have tons of money to make the trip. Add into the equation that I’ve got to take my wife, and our 1 year old son finding good boston hotel deals is starting to sound like a myth that not even the Myth Busters could crack! However I did find some light at the end of the tunnel at BostonUSA.com they have Boston hotel deals listed just to my specifications! Couldn’t be more happy with the service I received.
