Technology

This is pretty cool. Engtech has come up with a program that you can use and will automatically add to your favorites anyone that has favorited any of your blogs. Since I have been trying to increase mine to where it shows up in the top 100 favorited list, that is a sweet deal, as being on the list helps to bring in more traffic. You can find the program and engtech’s blog here.

…but this one is for surfing websites. Adventure11 is an Internet surfing game that allows you to win prizes for surfing websites. If you are one of those folks that surfs the Internet aimlessly looking for good content do so with a purpose and take home a bit of cash as well. Might as well make a bit of money for doing something you would already be doing for free, and get excited about it.

As a free member up to $1000 a week can be earned just surfing the Internet. Basically you win cash by finding “surfing surprises”. You sign up for Adventure11, activate your account, and from the members area click on the “Go Surfing” link. The system automatically takes you to eleven different websites and during that time a Surfing Surprise might appear. If it does you click a link and see if you have won anything. Pretty simple, no?

Any payments are made within 49 hours and as with most contests taxes are your own responsibility. Once you have activated your account you are eligible to start winning the next day, you can only surf 30 websites a day, and you can only have one account per person with Adventure11. You can check out all of the legal disclaimers and whatnot at the link.

Even though I am very much into gadgets and home theater, our setup is very “retro”. My cabinet is this huge hulking behemoth of wood with doors on the top with the TV and a few IR inputs behind it, and doors on the bottom that hide my HTPC when it is hooked up, my receiver, DVD player, VCR, wireless router, and a few others. I really like the setup.

Along with the theater cabinet all of the furniture is heavy wood, big wooden tables, and lamps to match. The only thing that I really want in here that would complete the setup is a grandfather clock. Clocks are just one of those things that no matter how much technology changes and gets better (and in some cases worse) they pretty much stay the same. They do their job. Might as well have something attractive as well as functional.

What do you know, I am #7 on the search for “Custom Hookahs“. Perhaps I should go into business for myself. Yesterday WAS 4/20 after all. That’s kind of what I figure all of the hullabaloo at the schools was about. Some stoner decided that he had enough and needed a bit of smoke so started some rumors to get school shut down for the day. It worked too, at least until the catch him.

I’ve been having problems with my cell phone for about a year now. I’m on my third battery since I got the LG and it is starting to get real irritating. The last one would go dead after a couple of hours, but this one just shuts my phone off at inopportune moments and I don’t realize it until several hours have gone by. Rather than dealing with Verizon this time I may just get a couple of extra batteries from the place where I got my last cordless phone battery. They have replacements cheaper than I can get them at Verizon, at least the last time I checked. I only have a few more months and I can get a new one anyway.
