I got a chance to use a great product offered by Powerful Signal. They sent me a mobile router in the mail and I got to hook it up to my blackberry and was able to get a wireless connection in my area. The router is cool because it creates a wifi hotspot which is also good for laptops, Wiis, Tivos and other electronic devices that can pick up a wireless signal.

In order to use the cellular routers you do need an air card with your phone, but that’s it! Everything else is included in the box. You get cords, instructions and a cd-rom!

I would definitely recommend it for someone who needs internet but doesn’t want to pay for expensive internet services. If you’re already paying for internet on your phone then why not use that for all your internet needs instead of having separate services?

The wireless router is a 3G wireless broadband router so the speed ranges from 11 Mbps and 54 Mbps which is standard for regular wireless routers.

I’m big on saving money but the other day I got depressed…I mean really depressed and I was in the mall. So I did some spending. I guess when you think about how much I’ve spent in the last few months it wasn’t a lot. I reactivated my Game Stop card and bought 2 games. The card is $15 but you save 10-30% on games. I also purchased 2 games for the Wii. I will be taking one back. Bust A Move was $17.99 and Dream Pinball was $24.99. I don’t like the pinball game so that is going back. Bust A Move isn’t too great either, but eh. I haven’t decided if I’m going to take that back yet. Bust A Move is $30 on Amazon so I guess that’s a deal. I’ll have to play it a little more to see if I really want to keep it. I do want a pinball game so I might be trading in the one I have for the other one that they have. It’s 17.99 so at least I’ll be saving some money. Decisions, decisions…

They also had a dancing with the stars game. That seemed cool. Elebits, but I don’t know much about that one either. I have a feeling that I’ll be buying a lot of games since I’ll be working right next to game stop. What a shame…

I feel like once you get a new place you start looking for new things. One day I want to get an HDTV and a stereo system. I know that I cannot afford that now. I feel like I can’t even afford to look or dream about one, but one day that will be a reality. When that day comes I will be looking at all of the discount electronics because I love saving money! Nothing makes me happier than getting something I’ve always wanted except saving money on that little something. Some people call it being cheap, I call it saving money for other things that I need!

I am going to admit that I know nothing about wine. I also know that wine is an acquired taste. I’ve only had a bit of wine in my lifetime so I don’t know if it is something that I would enjoy drinking. Signing up for some of the wine of the month clubs that they have online might be a good idea. I’ll be able to try a new wine every month and catch up on all that I’ve been missing over the years.

My laptop has been running super slow lately. I think it’s about time for me to buy memory. I love how convenient a laptop is. I throw it in my oversized purse and carry it everywhere with me! I wish they would last as long as a desktop. Since laptops are so small you don’t have as much memory as a desktop because they try to make everything so compact. That’s my only complaint. I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep the same laptop for more than 2-3 years. Buying memory definitely does help the laptop last a little longer but laptops aren’t lifetime purchases.

My computer has been driving me crazy lately. It has been acting slow and recently it was exposed to some sort of virus. Thankfully the virus seems to be gone but right now it’s still acting slow. It’s taking forever for me to go through my browser tabs. It’s also taking forever for the sites to load. I’m used to a fast paced computer so using something that is going this slow is getting on my nerves. I can’t wait until I am able to afford a new laptop. I’d like to be able to replace my laptop every two years. That would be awesome!

People tend to do things themselves because it is cheaper then hiring an outside source because they not only charge you for the parts, they also charge you for installation, labor and service fees. That could very well add up to a pretty penny. If you are thinking about wiring your home for entertainment purposes then you may need to invest in some patch panels. They tend to be perfect for small office or home networks, and best of all you don’t have to pay anyone to come out and install it for you!

Golf seems like a sport that I’d be interested in. I seem to be accident prone and contact sports aren’t the best for me. I always walk away with some injury. I’ve been looking at bowling balls because I want that to become a hobby. I’m also looking into Callaway irons as a possible golf club choice Bowling and golf seem like two things to keep me active without getting hurt.

Some associates that are disbursed throughout the midwest decided to have a get together. Oddly enough the best location was in Detroit. Some people live in Ohio, others in Chicago so that seemed like the best place to have it since it was a last minute thing. That way they can drive and don’t have to make flight arrangements. I’ve been looking around for cheap hotels for them because who wants to spend all their money on a weekend get together? Finding the right place wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

I’ve been trying to get into my bookworm mode. I love to read but lately I haven’t felt like doing anything. I figure this is the best time to fall in love with reading again. I’ve been looking for some great books online. I’ve been looking at Amazon books. I figure that’s a great start, and searching online puts the world at my fingertips. I already ordered a few books and I can’t wait to get them!
