When gas prices started really going up, we decided to get rid of one of our gas guzzlers and get a car with better gas mileage. We wanted something with some cargo space and fairly good seating, yet was still inexpensive. We settled on the Jeep Patriot.Overall, the Patriot is a comfortable car to drive. It's not luxurious, especially since we chose a pretty base model. However, it's st...

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, I had played it before I bought it and I must say I was definetly impressed. The graphics are amaizing, the voice acting is good, the story does a fantastic job of tying all previous "Metal Gear" story lines together, and to top it all off, it has online play. So what's the issue?Simply put, it's the cutscenes. Now, this may not b...

Before I bought this flash drive, I always had to tinker around and find some clever way to get a certain program/file onto another computer that was in need. Now with this thing strapped onto my keychain, it's with me everywhere I go. It is extremely useful when I get called over by one of my friends to help them with a computer problem, or something with the internet not working and so fo...

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the most technically stunning video game ever made. It's also a fine example of storytelling prowess within its medium, combining gameplay and narrative so slickly and beautifully that it's impossible to extricate one from the other. It's likely you will emerge awestruck from your first play-through, wishing the experience would continue y...

I bought this memory card for my digital camera, and it has worked flawlessly so far. It is very cheap for the capacity: 2 gigs for under $20. With my 7 MP camera, I can save about 900 pictures to the card. Plus, it's pretty fast at reading/writing considering how cheap it is; I've been able to record video with no problems, and video tends to require a pretty fast card. ...

 SD cards are taking over a large share of the flash memory sector of electronics. They can be used for mp3 players, cameras, PDAs, and even as a USB drive with an adapter. However, they're limited to a maximum size of 2gb, a product of their file formatting, and larger sizes need a different spec. This is where SDHC (HC meaning high capacity) comes in, allowing sizes of 4gb and larger...

This is one fast flash drive. With ultra high speeds 200x faster than normal flash drives, you can transfer a 700MB movie file in a matter of seconds. But since it has only 4GB of memory, there is limited space for large files. This flash drive is meant to transfer both large files and many smaller files (it is recommended to purchase the 16GB version for about $40). This flash drive can hold a...

Choosing a brand of memory for a computer can be as easy or as difficult as one wants it to be. Memory is used to store data or instructions from programs, but I often think of it in practical terms as the capacity by which the computer is able to perform multiple tasks; usually with more memory installed, a computer can operate and execute programs faster. I wanted 4 GB of memory for my new ...

Ah, SDHC cards, also known as SD 2.0. I'm lucky enough to have a digital camera that recognizes these ever-growing in capacity cards. This one, the 8GB SDHC card by Patriot, is pretty similar to other vendors offerings, in that it is a Class 6 card, which means it will transfer at a decent speed. Some have complained though, that these SDHC cards do not transfer anywhere near as fast as reg...

I've been using a 4GB flash drive for a little over a year and was looking for a little more storage space to transfer files. I did some research and landed on the Patriot Exporter. Not only does it have a whopping 32 GB of storage, but the price was very reasonable at $109.99 plus a $20 rebate. It's not too large and easily fits in your pocket so you can grab your data and go. The USB ...

I love my home, I had been living in an apartment and was really tired of throwing my money every month down the toliet! I decided to invest in a home and it been came clear I couldn't afford a condo, didn't really want a big house so I started looking at Modular homes. I fell in love with this home, I loved the layout. Granted I was a little concerned about the construction and quality...

To instantly become 25% more patriotic apparently you open the cover of I Am America (And So Can You!). At least that's what it told me. This book told me many things. Ridiculous things. I laughed.Stephen Colbert is not for everyone. His humor is over the top, aggressive, and outrageous sometimes. That is why I like his show The Colbert Report. The first thing you need to understand if you ...

"AMERICA, WHY I LOVE HER"with John WayneAlong with so much else during her life; my Godmother gave me a cassette recording of this album, sometime during my teens.I know, the Duke? An "album"?! Yup!Ya see, I grew up at the end of a time when heroes were good. Not vague, not gray, not openly degenerate, they didn't need profanity to speak through most of a sentence; you d...

As sentimental as I am, it is always a thrill for me to learn something new about one of my ancestors. It is hard to describe  how exciting it is to find something that actually belonged to an ancestor who lived long before me. My elderly aunt is the person in my paternal line that knew lots of family stories and history. She was also the one who traveled to places where our ance...

Since I was old enough to understand, sports have always been a part of my life. No, I'm not even remotely an athlete. I am a fan. My main interests are baseball, football and college basketball.Like other fans, I have favorite teams and I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm with others. I collect sports items related to my favorite teams and players and my closet is filled with more team t-shirts ...
