Casinos

A few years ago, there was a controversial US supreme court decision that outlawed US players at online casinos if they were in a state where gambling was illegal. However, in recentĀ  years, a few loopholes have opened up, and there are many casinos now serving the United States Market. While I’m not a gambler, [...]

Target

I realize this might make me look like a shill, but target is one of the only clothing retailers I’ll go to. I really hate the dead-eyed look of single moms with their failures toddling along behind them at Wal-Mart, and I frankly don’t like paying so much for my clothes that I’ll shop at [...]

Printing

I rarely use a printer
these days, I vastly prefer to keep as much correspondence and records online as possible. I use email to communicate, I use excel to keep track of financial data, and turnitin.com to submit class papers. However, a printers is practically a necessity for college. You can’t email in most term papers, [...]

Big Pharm

I’ve always felt that a lot of pharmaceutical companies get a bum rap. They’re always criticized for high prices on prescription medicines, but really, if you look at how much goes into the medicine, the profits are justified. It can cost over a billion dollars to bring many pills to market, and often it fails [...]

For me, half the fun is [...]

Acne

I’ve talked about acne before on this site, and fortunately mine has largely cleared up( yay for not being the pimply college student), but many of my friends are still, lets say, not going to be modeling make-up any time soon. Does anyone have any suggestions for good online guides or products that might help [...]

Golfing

As I may of mentioned in the past, I’m going to Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt has a reputation for being a rather preppy school, and, to put it delicately, I don’t have a reputation as a preppy kid. So I’ve been stocking up on polos and clothes. But really, I’d also like to pick up some skills, [...]

Memory

One of the easiest ways to speed up most computers is to add more ram. If you’re running windows XP, and not playing games, a gig is usually a good amount. If your running vista, try 2 gigs, as the operating system essentially takes up a gig by itself. RAM is fairly easy to add [...]
