Googo!

Twelve years ago, my wife Lana and I were blessed with a precious gift. My wife gave birth to our son Charlie. I was so proud and overjoyed. It was a happy moment for us. I vowed to be the best father I could be for him. Lana and I instilled the values of hard work and education. Charlie is a stellar student in school and a wonderful son. I wanted do something special for his birthday. I looked for a hoverboard for sale.

Charlie made very good grades on all his report cards. I could not be any prouder. I wanted to get him the best gift to reward him for his excellence. I remembered that he was amazed when the hoverboard first came onto the market. They were a very hot item to buy. I heard they were very hard to find, but I was determined to get one.

I went to five different department stores to search for the board. They all were sold out. They sold very fast around the Christmas holiday season. People were actually getting into fights at the store over the board. I was at my wit’s end. I searched high and low for the hoverboard, but I had no luck. I did not want to disappoint my son Charlie. I vowed to find it one way or another.

One day, I was on the internet and I saw someone selling a hoverboard online. I was brand new and in excellent condition. It was also blue, which was one of Charlie’s colors. I knew it was perfect. I ordered it and it arrived just in time for his birthday.

My son Charlie loves his new present so much. I am happy that he appreciates the gift that I got for him. I hope the hoverboard will bring him years of joy.

I went online not long ago to look at a hoverboard for sale. I had seen a few kids at the park playing on them, and I knew that my son would probably like to have one as well. He never expressed interest in one before, but he is also the type of kid to not say what he wants unless he is pressed hard for that information. I wanted to surprise him, so I looked at the ones that I found on this one website that were for sale. The sale prices were actually a lot lower than I expected, and I knew that I would be able to do this sooner rather than later. Read the rest of this entry »

I positively love gaming, but don’t really keep up on the latest hardware trends. A friend came over and suggested I look into acquiring a 144hz monitor. He said I would notice a vast improvement in the graphics if I upgraded to one of these devices. I was a bit embarrassed to admit I never heard of them before. I knew I had a 60hz monitor and really thought that was about all you could get. So I went online to look up more information on these monitors and to learn why they improve game play. I wasn’t sure I needed one.

Looking online for information revealed a plethora of useful information. As far as I can tell the 144hz monitor involves the refresh rate. What’s a refresh rate? Apparently a faster refresh means a better graphic display. It’s all sort of technical and complicated and I still wasn’t sure it would benefit me until I saw a comparison of what I use and the faster refresh rate monitor. Read the rest of this entry »

My son’s two best friends each got a hoverboard this last Christmas. My son had a lot of fun playing on them with his friends, as they were definitely the type to share with him rather than ignore him as they had fun on their own. My son never complained about not having one. I still wanted him to have his own because I knew it would be more fun for all three of them if they each had their own. I went online to get some information about a hoverboard for sale.

I did not want to ask him because I wanted this to be a surprise. I had already looked at the brand names of the ones his friends have when they came over last week. I wanted to make sure that I was getting him a safe one, so I looked up the top brands that have a great safety rating. Read the rest of this entry »

Kids like toys. Of course, some toys need you to teach your kids how to be safe. Bicycles, tricycles and even those battery-powered little cars toddlers ride in require the use of safety gear. If it has wheels, I think children should be wearing helmets and safety pads at knees and elbows. This goes for adults too. I even wear gloves when riding my bicycle, because your hands are usually the first thing to hit if you fall. Now after saying that, I don’t see a hoverboard with wheels as any more risky than other toys such as bicycles. That is, if you buy one that is made of great parts and has a reliable battery.

They are kind of cool looking, and you do need good balance to ride one. Read the rest of this entry »

I was wondering if there was a software solution to make transferring all of the data from one smartphone to another easy and simple to do. I was looking for how to backup iphone that I could do myself. I did not want to pay for an additional carrier service, nor did I want anyone at the phone store to do this for me. I am not comfortable with people poking around with my data on my phone. Those employees at the retail phone stores could all be completely honest and trustworthy, but they could also not be. I cannot tell, so I do not want to take the chance.

I just want my photos, contacts and other data automatically transferred from my old phone to my new one. I figure that since they are both using the Android operating system that it should not be a big deal. You would think that this would be a universal and seamless process if you stick with the same type of phone on your upgrade to a new one. Not necessarily the same model but the very same operating system. Read the rest of this entry »

Once upon a time it seemed like technology was easier to keep up with, but by now we can never get enough new releases to be satisfied. Even if you just bought a new phone, chances are that the manufacturer has already announced the new version that will be coming out in the future. While realistically virtually nobody really needs to upgrade to the latest model, that does not stop people from wanting to do it. Instead of simply buying the new phone and then wasting all of the money you spend on the old one, sell old mobile phones and recover some of the money that you originally invested into them.

Whether it is a matter of staying stylish and cool or there is some new feature, the bottom line is that new phones have great appeal to people who can afford them. Read the rest of this entry »

I spent the day working on the home theater. It is in a room above the garage, a loft in fact it is a bit cramped for the purpose and the arch of the roof limits the size of the projection screen that I could use. I already had the projector, I picked it up at an auction along with a set of a half dozen passieve speakers. If you are like me, then you probably do not know the difference between passive speakers and active ones, or at least I did not until I looked it up. That simply means that there is not an internal power source or amplifier in the cabinet with the speakers. I would guess that nearly all the speakers a normal person has are passive, except for sub woofers. Read the rest of this entry »

I have been able to get this phone for cheap. It is an older Samsung Galaxy S2, which is not the most modern phone and yet is a nice step up from what I have in some ways. A friend of mine kept it because they only offered him like twenty two bucks for a trade in at the Verizon Store and when I asked him if he wanted to sell it, he offered to let me have it for thirty bucks. Of course I was already looking at SIM only deals where you just get the chip or SIM card that goes in the phone. Read the rest of this entry »

Whenever I need to buy specialty parts like an o2 sensor, I struggle to decide where to purchase them. There’s the store around the corner that is usually hit or miss. Sometimes they have the part, but other times they have to order it for you. Customer service is also hit or miss, as not everyone in the store is an expert. I’ve been looking for a great source to buy these parts for a long time. One of my buddies who works with me at the station suggested that I check out a website that could help me out. He gave me the address and I took a look that same evening.

I was in awe at the number of oxygen sensor-related parts on this website. I felt like a kid in a candy store, except I guess you could say I was like an adult male in a tool store. My eyes lit up and I spent the next two hours browsing the entire site.
