Really, it’s a crappy way to start the day. A call for roadside assistance was sent to VIP Towing, and after a 90-minute wait, a VIP tow truck […]

IKEA Blue Bag!
Yay! I’m now a member of the IKEA blue bag club since I now have a Frakta large bag. This $1 bag is a popular choice for hauling boxes and packages to the post office after making a bunch of eBay sales. Granted I haven’t yet made enough sales to actually fill the bag, but […]
Google Starbucks WiFi, Since When?
I’ve loved the speed of the free Google Starbucks Wi-Fi service available at most Starbucks locations, but this “feature” looks new. Since when did the Google Starbucks Wi-Fi service start this authentication system? I’m used to selecting the Wi-Fi network then surfing the Internet. I’m not really sure how this works as well.

“For Safety”
It’s been awhile, but I just got denied entrance to yet another store while walking in with a drink. For this instance, the store was Ross at Ala Moana, and I was enjoying my half done Starbucks iced caramel macchiato. The greeter pointed out the no food or beverage sign on the door. I asked […]

In that regards, Instagram is your friend, giving you scouting information. But then Instagram can easily make you […]
My First Unpaid for eBay Transaction
It was bound to happen, but I got my first unpaid transaction on eBay. The buyer made an offer on youth soccer shoes, and I accepted. However, days went by without any payment, and eBay’s recommendation is don’t ship the product until payment is received. Luckily, eBay has everything covered. It was easy enough to […]
Dead Plantronics Backbeat Fit
Well, this ain’t good. I had been enjoying my Plantronics Backbeat Fit earphones during my runs, but now they don’t turn on. The battery will charge (the LED shows the charging progress), but pushing the power button does nothing. Sadly, this seems to be a recurring problems based on other complaints. I don’t remember exactly […]
