PlayStation 3 80GB

Posted: 30th March 2009 by T.F.P. in General, Products

Jerry has wanted a PlayStation 3 ever since the console came out back in 2006. He is a pretty hardcore gamer, and has several other systems at home, so I wasn’t surprised that he wanted this one as well. But the problem for us was always the price, as the PS3 is considerably more expensive [...]

Turn off your computer!

Posted: 30th March 2009 by T.F.P. in Check it out

This pretty much goes in the “duh” category for me, but I guess some people need everything explained to them. I just read on Yahoo Tech that when computers are left on overnight, your energy costs go up. *Gasp* Really? Who would’ve thought that to be the case? Apparently some group put together an energy [...]

Originally from Britain, Meredith was studying in Perugia, Italy on an exchange program when she was murdered in the cottage she shared with another exchange student.

I have a consulting job that takes up about 10 hours per week. I obviously don’t have a lot of day to day responsibilities to take care of for that job, but I do sometimes have to deal with problem employees — which is something I absolutely hate to do. For the most part, we [...]

Whenever I’m getting ready to buy a new tech product that stores data, the first thing I look at is whether or not the memory is expandable. This is very important, obviously, because the longer I have and use a device, the more data I accumulate and the more storage I need. I absolutely hate [...]

Wow, have you seen the video footage of that FedEx cargo plane that crashed at Tokyo’s Narita Airport on Monday morning at 6:50am local time? Apparently, there were very strong winds swirling when the plane tried to land, and the footage shows the craft pretty much going hard into the runway, bouncing back up, tipping [...]

Pastrana at STL SX?

Posted: 21st March 2009 by T.F.P. in Sports

I heard that Travis Pastrana, my favorite motocross racer of all time, is going to enter the St. Louis Supercross tonight. He hasn’t raced professionally in a couple of years, so it’s not like he’ll win or anything, but he’ll definitely qualify because he’s really that talented on a bike. I just hope he doesn’t [...]
