I've been tagged. in Misc JoeUser Forums

I've been tagged, dang it. Now I'm supposed to write about 5 embarrassing things from my childhood. The first question that immediately leaps to mind, of course, is "when exactly does childhood end"? The when is irrelevant, though, because I'm going to dig up 5 embarrassing things but they certainly won't be the most embarrassing things. Just causing a mild blush, not a desire to pack up and leave the state from shame. 1) One of my earliest memories was from kinderg

We also talk about two lawsuite: Creative is suing Apple over a patent infringement and record labels are suing XM over a piece of hardware. We also get an update from Brad on what's going on with Vista and his thoughts on the f

Episode 41: Booth Babes, Blue Security & Blu-Ray/HD-DVD in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

With E3 going on this week, we simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to revisit the "booth babes" issue and discuss their apparel (or the lack thereof). We also discovered that people in the UK are now allowed to listen to their CDs on their iPods according to the RIAA. Let's hope North America isn't far behind! Also a spam war involving Blue Security and Russian hackers brings down several websites. Some are saying the porn industry will decide whether or not Blu-Ray or HD-DVD bec

Episode 40: Apple Auspicious, Hacker Halted, Skype Swells & More! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Apple goes mano y mano with both France and the RIAA and comes out on top. Also there are rumors that Windows Vista will be delayed again, but what does that really mean for consumers? Skype plans to give us the ability to have a 100 person conference call (which is an instant headache for Kristin) and a high school hacker is caught and "punished". In gaming news the DS Lite will come out in June, and Oblivion is getting re-rated to an M for Mature! Also gold farmers buy Allakhazam a

Reply to A terrorist attack in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I have no idea what message this movie might send to the rest of the world, but I agree that it's too early - at least for me. I think the people on that flight were brave and did the right thing even though it cost them their lives, and I think they deserve to have a movie made about them. It's just too early for me. I don't think it supports the terrorist attacks, however; although I have also not seen the movie. I think it is honestly meant to be a tribute to those who gave their

Reply to Scared to death in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

Buying a house can be scary, and so is moving across the country. I understand, I've done this myself more than once. It's difficult, it's stressful...but it will be worth it. I think recognizing that you are afraid of something can make dealing with it easier (rather than, say, taking it out on the family). One step at a time and before you know it you'll have a great house and you'll be settled in at your new job. Best wishes to you and the family Peter - whenever you get the chance to read th

It does look cute! We've never bought a car before that we couldn't even test-drive. It's a little scary...but it's not meant to be the reliable car. I feel so decadent.

New Car in Blogging JoeUser Forums

This weekend we went crazy. My husband has long ago decided that he likes small convertible cars. He'd like a BMW Z4, but that's a little out of our price range at the moment. So last year when Saturn and Pontiac announced they were both coming out with affordable small convertibles, we got very excited. We've waited for months, and still no cars to test drive. The Hubby decided he likes the Saturn body style a little better, so he was prety sure he wanted one of those. Upon
