I had to pick up a big batch of CAT6 cable to rewire a big part of my office network last week. I was having a bit of trouble finding it in batches online for a good price. A friend of mine recommended that I check out BlackBox.com and I ended up purchasing it all through them. Delivery was very quick and I would recommend them to anyone I know.
Phillips HDMI Upconverting DVD Player
A while back I picked up a new Phillips HDMI upconverting DVD player with DivX playback. I didn’t think that the “upconverting” feature would really make that much of a difference until I checked out some of my older dvd’s on a plasma television. All of the DVDs that I checked out looked extremely clearer than on my regular tube television. I don’t think I’m even going to bother getting a Blu-Ray player now. The difference between Blu-Ray and upconverting quality isn’t that big of a difference for me to spend $500 on the Blu-Ray player (I only paid $40 for the Phillips) and $30 per Blu-Ray movie. I’ll probably wait about 5 years to get into Blu-Ray so the technology isnt so new and expensive.
New GPS Unit
I always wanted to buy a GPS unit for my truck. When pricing them in a store, they seemed way too expensive. I finally bought one and now I don’t know what I ever did without it. It is the best thing I have ever purchased for any of my vehicles that I have ever owned. I don’t have to drive forever, and waste gas, or stop and ask for directions. The GPS navigation unit is a very handy item. It also saves me from driving as much, especially with the cost of gas prices being so high now.
Power Supply Repair Service
A while back i was looking for a highly recommended power supply repair service and I came across ACSIndustrial.com. A friend of mine works in construction and a peice of his commercial equipment went out. He couldn’t find any service locally to repair the power supply so we decided to look for one online. What a pain. I don’t know why there isn’t a place around here that does it.
New Unlocked Phone
I got home from work the other day and realized that I had left my cell phone in my office. I thought about driving twenty minutes back to the office to get it, but I figured it would be okay until morning. Apparently I was wrong. It was nowhere to be found. It wouldn’t have been such a big deal if it was a company cell phone, but it was my personal phone that I pay for myself. I talked to my cell phone provider and they said that I could either buy a new phone from them (as I didn’t carry insurance on the phone), or I could buy an unlocked phone elsewhere and they would provide me with a replacement SIM card for it. I went ahead and picked up one of the unlocked phones on Buy.com. I thought about buying one from my cell phone provider but I figured if something happens to this one I’ll just pick one up from eBay or something.
My Dream Computer
I can’t believe in this day and age I’m still rocking a computer that operates Windows ME. It sucks and I don’t think the computer has upgrading capacities. Then recently the CD burner drive has been displaying some crazy antics, like opening and closing on its own. Then other times it would make a loud noise so deafening that I’d have to shut it down and restart. I’ve worked around Macs all my life and have learnt to appreciate such stature in a computer. And if money were no object, I’d really like to get the sleek MacBook Intel notebook where I can load my beloved Photoshop, Quark Xpress and other publishing and design programs of that nature. This notebook is over $1,000, money that I cannot afford to spend on a computer right now.
