A step away from technology…. Lets talk about Weight Loss. 2008-03-17 19:48:18 One of the toughest things to do in life is lose weight and keep it off. I recently joined Weight

Celtics 2008-05-04 20:32:29 The Boston Celtics! Who would have thought the Hawks would have taken them 7 games?
While I didn’t like the fact that the series went 7 I also believe this is a very good basketball team and they still should get by the Cavs. It would be nice if they won a road game in this [...]
Softball and Parenting 2008-07-21 21:37:41 My daughter plays on the 12 and under A team and they had a softball game today. They lost by a lot. The team they played was very well coached and very skilled. One thing I really like about the coaches is they really don’t care about winning. They just want to make sure the [...] Read more:Parenting

Big Papi 2008-07-20 23:10:09 Is Papi ok? He looked good in Pawtucket and is going to Portland for 3 games to finish off his rehab stint. The Sox need him badly to contend for another World Series. The Rays are right there in the division but they seem to be getting a little cocky even though have won nothing yet. [...]
Backup Backup and Backup 2008-07-20 22:54:23 Backup your files! That is one of the most important things to do if you are a computer user. How many times has a hard drive crashed and important files are lost. With the price of external USB hard drives going down there is no excuse to not back things up. Photos are a must to backup. [...]

Circuit City 2008-07-20 22:15:13 My last trip to Circuit
City may be my last. I bought a Linksys router there. When I got back to work and opened the box I found out that the wrong model was in the box. The box was sealed and everything. No problem, I’ll just return it and get another one which has [...] Read more:Circuit City

Office 2007 2008-07-20 21:48:55 What happened to Office? I have never been more frustrated with a MS upgrade than with Office 2007. It is like MS just started from scratch when the developed Office 2007. All the versions up to 2003 have all looked the similar and have added features with each version. 2007 is completely different and a [...]
Windows 7 2008-07-20 21:35:13 Microsoft is already working on and hyping the sucsessor of Vista. Vista is an ok OS but is a memory hog and you need a high power PC to run it well. Yes, it will run on lower end systems but it will be slow. You need to have atleast 2Gigs of ram if you want it [...] Read more:Windows
See Ya Manny ! 2008-08-03 20:04:18 Manny is gone!. The Sox put up with him for 7 years and he says “enough is enough”.
What a joke. He was being paid 20 whatever million a year and he says “enough is enough”. He pushes a 65 year old man on the ground, he doesn’t play against the Yankees and when he does play [...] Read more:Manny
Tournament Time 2008-07-28 21:30:25 It was Tournament

Patriots lose to Steelers 2008-11-30 18:31:37 The Patriots
had a BIG game today and didn’t come through. Something we here in NE are not use to. But the Steelers
played a great game. Matt Casel is no Tom Brady and Matt Light is overrated. How does a Pro Bowl Offensive lineman get beat so many times? I’ll tell you how, he’s [...]
