In case you haven’t noticed, I am not a fan of Charter Communications. They have horrible customer service and high prices. If you haven’t gotten screwed by them yet, you’re about to. Over the weekend several sites broke stories about how Charter Communications will put a cap on bandwidth at 100gb a month starting on [...]
I’ve noticed that the majority of my posts lately have all been me ranting on and on about various topics. All the ranting has made my blog, and me, seem very negative. I’m not really a negative person. I guess, like most people, I tend to only talk about something if something bad happens. I [...]
A few weeks ago I shipped a package via UPS. I went to the UPS Store near my house to ship a Christmas package to a friend that lives near Chicago. I was shipping her a custom made t-shirt and a gift card. I declare the valued amount of the items I’m shipping in the [...]
There is a battle going on in St. Louis between the local CBS affiliate, KMOV, and a cable television provider Charter Communications. Normally, wherever there is Charter-bashing I am there. This time, I have to agree with Charter. Here is the situation. KMOV has been in negotiations for 2 years on making Charter pay to [...]

I hate bumper stickers. I love bumper stickers. What? I’m not making sense? Well, let me explain. I hate bumper stickers because they are ugly, stupid, and tacky. I really don’t care that your kid is an honor roll student. I really don’t care about your political views. Or that Jesus Saves. Stickers that try [...]
The new lineup for the merged SiriusXM satellite radio service came out today. You can view changes here. Two of the stations I listen to, in fact, the two I listen to 90% of the time, have changed. Ethel changed to AltNation. I’m sure the music will be more or less the same. It is [...]
I have a few friends that set their IM status to Invisible when they are online. Since IM is my primary means of communication with some of my friends it bugs me a little. The reason that they are invisible is because they are hiding from someone (or multiple people). I know what you might [...]
This entire week Blockbuster has only been shipping me two movies. I have the three movies out at a time plan yet I’m only having two shipped. Today, I decided to contact customer support to see what is going on. Here is my email: For a few days now only two DVDs will be out [...]
