Today on CNN.com there was an article that began by talking about how a middle class family doesn’t feel so middle class any more. The article went on to give some statistics about the current economic climate - one of which jumped out at me:
All this financial stress comes at a time when most […]

Is there anything worse than going to a website and having it automatically start blaring some video, jingle, or promotional material at you? A little earlier I was flitting around the internet and I came across some gaming website that automatically started some video promoting a new game and it was the most annoying […]

You may have noticed a new site or two on the “Check Out These Sites” listing on the sidebar. One of them is GetRichSlowly.org - a great blog site about attacking debt and learning to build wealth in small steps. The gist of the blog is that you can’t really get rich quick […]

Today’s Daily Record had a great article talking about the Dover Lanes bowling alley closing down. Dover Lanes is a “family” and “fun” landmark in Morris County and North Jersey and it will be missed. I remember when I was in a weekend bowling league at the alley as a young kid and […]

As our commenter, Lyndi, pointed out - Nikhil Desai is actually a resident of Fremont, California, not New Jersey! He attends Challenger School in Newark, California - not Newark, New Jersey. This information was confirmed by the public relations company that sent me the information. The public relations company sent me: […]

By now I’m sure that you all know the myriad problems that I’ve had with Palm’s Treo 700p. This smartphone/PDA is a complete disaster (as you can find out by reading comments on Palm’s own blog on the matter). I’ve had the Treo replaced numerous times and each time I get a new […]

At the recommendation of my cousin, I saw the new Narnia movie today. I don’t know if I absolutely hate it or if I liked it, but I do have a wide variety of adjectives that I can use to describe the movie (hang on tight):
Been-there-done-that, awkward, Harry Potter, brilliant graphics, so-so story, great […]

Last week when I was trying to plan a brunch for Mother’s Day, I called up one of the local buffet breakfast places up in North Jersey where my Mom lives. The purpose of the call was to make reservations, but let’s be honest - trying to make reservations a few days before Mother’s […]

At my apartment our cable service is provided by Cablevision (which, by the way, is one of the worst companies in terms of customer service ever). As part of our television package (iO Digital), we get a bunch of high definition channels. Those of you in the tri-state area who have Cablevision probably […]

The New York Daily News ran a story earlier today that talked about all of the television shows that were canceled for the upcoming fall season.
