Klout Brand Squad Pages…and the Coming Backlash!
Digital Trends wrote a fantastic review of the introduction of Klout’s Squad Pages last week (here), and in that review they alluded to a possible issue with how users were ranked. Yet there are some unresolved issues, too. While Klout has not officially revealed what data that goes into its ranking algorithm, it’s evident that [...]
Continue reading...I Will Never, Ever Buy Another GM Vehicle…
18 February 2012
Those were the words I told Desiree in GM’s Legal Department Thursday. And I mean it, with a vengeance. You see, GM is reporting record profits, yet is still relying on legal maneuvering to continue not to honor the class action lawsuit by approximately 150,000 Saturn Vue and Ion owners (2003-2005) whose vehicles had or [...]
Continue reading...Review: Tabanero Hot Sauce
30 January 2012
Disclaimer: I was NOT asked to do this review. I was not paid for this review. But I am COMPELLED to do this review. Background: a few weeks ago on twitter, I was followed by Tabenero. This caught my eye, because I LOVE hot sauce (see pic at end of post…we use a variety). So [...]

25 December 2011
Have a little one that loves Wii? Performance Designed Products (PDP) has the perfect product: My First Mote™, a micro-sized, kid-friendly remote designed for Wii players with smaller hands that also features interchangeable Cars artwork. I saved this review for Christmas, to not only test how well it worked, but get Joshua’s reaction. Well, you [...]
Continue reading...Review: Easy Canvas Prints…
27 July 2011
Finally…a request to review something that is a little different and a company that made it not only easy to work with, but pleasant! Was contacted a few weeks ago by Easy Canvas Prints to see if I was interested in reviewing their product. I checked out the website (very easy to navigate, as an aside), and [...]
Continue reading...Review: The Good The Bad & The Difference
28 May 2011
Now that Maddie is home from the hospital and things are starting to return to normal, thought it’d be a good time to catch up on a review that I’ve been needing to write…for months. Normally, delays in reviews are due to a sense of dread. In this case, however, nothing anywhere near that. But [...]
Continue reading...The Shack: Let’s Talk, Shall We?
16 May 2011
I’ve mentioned previously how I’ve been reading–and pausing–and reading–and dog-earing the book The Shack by William P Young. I’d picked up a copy at a used book store, after having heard about the book, not realizing it had been a few years since it had been published. Hey, I was kinda busy, ok? About the [...]

4 April 2011
Full title: Money and Marriage: A Complete Guide for Engaged and Newly Married Couples No…I’m definitely not in the parameters of the book, but the publicist asked for a few of us that have been married for a while to review. I read this book during a long, overnight server migration a couple weeks ago, [...]
Continue reading...That Was an Oil Change?
9 January 2011
Took JoAnn’s van to get the oil changed this afternoon. Normally, this is not the highlight of a day. And while it wasn’t necessarily the highlight of today either, it was actually a pleasant surprise. Almost enjoyable, even. Took it to the Oil Can Henry’s just down the road in Lacey (Hawks Prairie). Had never [...]
Continue reading...Target, Babies, and a Giveaway!
3 January 2011
Target has launched a new way to share baby announcements. The Big Baby Billboard announcement can be created on Target’s Facebook launch page for the announcements at Facebook.com/TargetBaby and can be shared via Facebook, Twitter and e-mail. Between now and January 5th, Target will randomly select birth announcements for display in New York City’s Times [...]
