Chase credit card accounts closing without warning

Published by Steve under Life,Random

Last week an acquaintance of mine was complaining that his Chase credit card was closed without warning whatsoever. He had read online that they were closing counts arbitrarily and decided that he would call and check on his account…. Sure enough, CLOSED. When asked why, he was told that a recent report on his credit [...]

Surgery – Inguinal Hernia Repair

Published by Steve under Health & Fitness,Life

Well, on October 8th I went under the knife again. This time it was for a Direct Inguinal Hernia. I think I can pretty safely say that the recovery involved with this surgery was pretty painful when compared with the Pilonidal removal. I’d say it was a full 4 or 5 days before I could [...]

Another distinct lack of posting…

Published by Steve under Life

Been staying really busy with work, health & fitness, etc. Also had another surgical need, and will post about that soon as my previous Pilonidal posting seems to generate the majority of the traffic on my blog. Sorry for the lack of updates, and I will make up for it soon.

Lack of Posting

Published by Steve under Life,Random

Not sure how many regular visitors I get since there are very few comments from people I don’t know. But Google says I get at least a few everyday, so I figured I’d throw a quick update out there. My spare time has been all but disappeared since March. I had what I consider to [...]

Apple iPhone 3G

Published by Steve under Apple,Life,Movies,Music,Work

Once again it seems, I am eating my words. I swore up and down that I’d never own or use an iPhone. “They’re over priced and unneccessary.” “I’m perfectly happy with my iPod and Treo.” Those and a multitude of similar sentences poured from my mouth. They were all true, and I stand by them. [...]

DVDs with iTunes Digital Copy Included

Published by Steve under Apple,Life,Movies

Today I picked up Hitman (Unrated) on Blu-Ray Disc. Like I Am Legend I made the decision to purchase this movie after seeing it in theaters. I’ll review the quality of the Blu-Ray Disc after I watch it. For now however, I’d like to address the inclusion of an iTunes Digital Copy with the movie. [...]

Stupid Network Icon in Vista Systray

Published by Steve under Life,Networking,Random,Work

This is a short one, but hopefully some will find it useful. Both of the Vista laptops I have used have had this problem. The stupid network icon in the systray sometimes shows a status completely opposite from what it is currently in. For most people, according to Google’s search results (or just the way [...]

Playstation 3

I did it. I hate that I had to, and I feel dirty for doing it. I bought a damned PS3. It’s a sad time at the Cullen household. I swore up and down that I’d never buy one. And in the last 48 hours, I’ve been through two of them! What are the odds?? [...]

High Definition and Where I Stand

Published by Steve under Games,Life,Movies,Random

This is a topic that has been kicking around in my head for quite some time. We have had an HDTV for a couple of years now, and an HD-DVD player for a little over a year. This topic takes off in a few different directions, but I’ll try to keep it simple and not [...]

Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint Noise-Canceling Headphones

Published by Steve under Life,Movies,Music,Random

Ever since getting an 80GB iPod Classic for my birthday, I’ve become a headphone junkie. The Apple earbuds lasted about a month before being replaced by Griffin Tunebuds for Christmas. Thanks Cortnie! (And don’t worry, I’ll be keeping the Tunebuds because they’re perfect for working out, and work.) Now I’m lucky enough to have a [...]
