My "I Hate Time Warner" Rant

Yes. We all have our RANT posts. I don't really have too many, but this one is very well deserved. Never in my life did I think I would hate something as much as i do Time Warner Cable. Unfortunately in my area, they are the ONLY providers. How ridiculous. I don't watch much T.V., maybe 5 hours a week. Everything is online for me; my shows, movies, etc. However, my family does watch T.V. and thats the reason we are stuck with this overpriced nonsense. How crazy is it to charge over $230 a month for T.V., Cable Internet and crappy phone service? Unbelievable. Their crappy service goes down way too often, and its not like they're deducting those days from my bill.

So, today i woke up to find my internet was cut (and when that gets cut, so does my house phone). I call, make the payment and 20min. later NOTHING. So I have to call back (wasting my cell phone minutes) and they have to manually re-set my router, which i reset 3 times before I was forced to call. This isn't the worst of it, they HIJACKED twitter. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a twitter fan, but just as facebook, its important outlet for bloggers. When i hit home, it takes me to the most #%@&*!^ redundnt page @ap_index that has only 1 tweet, and it says, "whoops, you're broke!" What the fuck is that? Now when i click on home, that is where it takes me. Oh goodness i really hope they go bankrupt and slither away from existence! I'd rather deal with another crappy cable company then them.

Time Warner, please, just go away forever!

Enjoy Labor Day Weekend

I hope all of you guys are enjoying a nice Labor Day Weekend :) I sure am! Its very nice to take a break, and I'm sure you're all ecstatic about spending time with your families! If you're in L.A. I sure hope you make it out to the beach, this weather is too much.. in the triple digits almost.

I'll be attending the End of the Summer Beach Party down in beautiful Long Beach, CA. Can't beat it, after there, hopefully some time to hit up Hermosa Beach for their little Arts & Crafts Festival on the beach. Hoping for the best (and some corn dogs!).

Have fun and be safe!

[Closed] - GIVEAWAY - ThinkGeek.com (Review)

 

Gadgets, electronics, and many other odd but fun items! ThinkGeek.com has been one of my favorite online stores ever since I can remember. Its just one of those fun sites you can sit and browse all night long. Thanks to Shane, over at ThinkGeek, i got the great honor to work with them and review a product.

I decided to review the Freeloader Pico Solar Charger. I think Solar Chargers are a great thing to add to your life. They are portable, so carrying one can help you out in some of those unexpected events in our lives. The Freeloader is great, portable-wise. It weighs a mere 49g and fits perfectly in your pocket, as it is also very slim. The Freeloader Pico Solar Charger can be charged via the Sun or USB. A USB charge is faster than solar. 

 

It is recommended that you give the Freeloader a USB charge as its first. This charger is great for those of us who aren't necessarily next to our computers 24/7. This is a must-have for Campers who need the security of having something to charge their cell phone (in an emergency or for any reason). I wish i would've had this when my car broke down on the freeway, at 1am, in the dark.. in L.A.. Not a nice place to have this happen.

I've used this to charge my cell phone, because my HTC Smart Phone eats up battery like crazy, especially when i have bluetooth and wifi enabled. I've also used it to charge my MP3. It has a permanent place in my Tokidoki bag from now on. Its very user-friendly, just charge it and keep it handy whenever you go out. Very simple and very handy device. To me, this device has no cons whatsoever. Its very cute and stylish as well.

The best thing is that this charger delivers a full charge to your device in only 30min. and provides up to 35hr to your cellphone, 14hr to your MP3 and 1.5hr to your GPS. With the extra adapters included with the Pico Freeloader, you can charge you small pin Nokia, Sony Ericsson, G Series Samsung, and any device/phone that has a mini-usb port.

Here are some quick specifications from the website:

• 75mA premium quality crystalline solar cells
• 800mAh environmentally friendly Li-ion battery - typical battery life is 2 years
• Input voltage - 5v/250mA
• Size: 105 x 45 x 11.5mm

I LOVE ThinkGeek! You guys should head on over there and start browsing, lol. They have such great things. All you gadget loving geeks (like me) will love them too! Below you'll see a couple super-cool things they sell! :)

Just a few of their items include prenatal musical systems, video watches, spy cams, bacon soap, kitchen accessories, gadgets, light up t-shirts, and even Star Trek related items. They are have baby items, great toys for kids and toddlers, plushies, kitchen-items and much more!

ThinkGeek.com is a website you can spend hours browsing. Overall, i love the Pico Freeloader Solar Charger. Thanks to ThinkGeek for the opportunity to work with them and review the charger! :) Very friendly people over there! So friendly that they have graciously offered one of my lucky readers a $75 Gift Certificate to their site!
