My Wii Now Streams Netflix!

By Monday, March 29, 2010 0 Permalink 0

Thanks to Netflix and Wii for making it an extremely simple process to update my Wii to allow for Netflix streaming. After popping in the DVD from Netflix, making sure the Wii was on wifi and waiting for an update, all that was left was to enter a code from the tv into my Netflix profile.

Adding alerts for specific contacts on a Blackberry

By Saturday, February 20, 2010 0 Permalink 0

I recently traded in my 6 month old Palm Pre for the new Blackberry Tour. The Pre just did not stand up to my standards of a smart phone and became too slow for me to use for anything (I came to loathe that phone so quickly). Before the Pre I had the older World Blackberry 8830, so I knew that I could count on it to do what I needed (email, texts, aim, gchat, twitter and phone calls) without slowing the whole phone down. It took  me a few weeks to get all of the alerts back to what they were on my old Blackberry because ...

That is not really the right title for this post, but it is January and I am attempting to get more exercise, so it seemed fitting.

When searching for an online company, like retailer Amazon.com, on Google you get a lot of links to Amazon.com, Books, Web Services, EC2, Wikipedia of the Amazon River etc: BUT look at the same search with Bing: This may not be a huge deal to you, but they have Amazon.com's phone number listed under all of the other links!  Have you ever searched for Amazon's phone number? Unless they have changed the location ...

It is only Christmas, it is not the end of the world. You do not have to yell at people because you are upset, or stressed, or started your shopping too late. Just keep calm and smile. Chances are most people working today would love to be home with their friends and family also.

Really, I am in love with this new jacket. I was not even planning on buying a new winter jacket this year as I have few old ones and I do not plan on going skiing so I did not think I needed one. That is until I went to the annual GoLite sale last Friday in Gunbarrel.
