New review by me..

Quote: "Ever hear of Tmart? I didn’t until recently when they asked me to review some of their products and they sent me over an 8gb USB flash drive. This drive isn’t any known brand, in fact it’s called the 8G Classic USB Flash Drive White with Grey, which is exactly what it is a white and gray colored 8gb USB flash drive, that name says it all really. The price for this drive is $8.03 and that’s with free shipping so that’s all you pay, is it worth it? Sure I guess, it’s not the fastest drive out there, but it’s not he slowest either. So read on for a quick review of it… "

Tmart 16gb Class 6 MicroSD Card Review

by  •

New review by me over on Mobility Digest:

Link: http://mobilitydigest.com/mobility-digest-review-tmart-16gb-class-6-microsd-card/

Quote: "I think microSD cards are the most popular type of storage out there for mobile related products and their prices are coming down lower and lower. I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the lookout for deals and I never seem to have enough storage for my portable devices. Recently a company I never head of, Tmart, approached me asking to review some of their products and one of them they offered was a very inexpensive 16gb microSD card so that’s what I have for review today. The card is a no-name brand but it’s a class 6 card, and I was very curious to see how an off-branded and very inexpensive card might compare to name brand ones so I said sure I’ll review it. So read on for  a quick review… "

Golden Dragon Butane Lighter Review

by  •

So I’m back with another review, it’s been a while since I’ve actually reviewed anything here, sure I’ve posted links to my reviews on other sites, but now I have another review and I wasn’t sure of what title to use for it.  The actual product name is a mouthful surely: Windproof Dragon Pattern Refillable Butane Cigarette Lighter Golden, so shortening that was something that needed done I think, so I’m just calling it the golden dragon butane lighter. I got it from a company called Tmart for only $3.99 with free shipping so I wasn’t expecting much, but it’s actually much better quality than you would think for such a low price.

Yes I’m a smoker, it’s the only real habit I’ve got, well except caffeine I guess, but I don’t drink or do drugs or any of that, and yes I’ve tried to quit. I tried the patch, a couple different brands, and they gave me an uncomfortable rash wherever I put them, so that didn’t quite work out for me.

So anyway, I’m accustomed to Zippos, I like my Zippo lighter, they last long and they work well, but I also like to try different ones, especially those jet flame or torch types, and that’s the type of flame in the dragon lighter. The flame on this lighter though starts out blue but then changes to green which I think is rather kinda cool, oh and the lighter actually has LEDs in that light up too! Anyway, read on to check out this lighter if you’re interested..

I Need About $2000 Now…

by  • 

dollar-sign

Today make three payments I’m behind on my car. That means it’s going to be repossessed sadly. I’ve never went through this before, I’ve always figure out some way to get the money I need but I guess my luck has run out. Once my car is gone I’m screwed essentially.

I’ve been browsing Craigslist lately, looking for some kind of odd job like web design, writing or something I can do from home since it’s summer and the kids are out of school, so I can’t really go anywhere. While I was on Craigslist I decided to browse the cars and saw a few of them for $2,000 and they seem like good deals. My car right now is a 2011 Subaru Forester and I love it but well I’m going to lose it. The point is that it only has 3,400 miles on it right now so it’s not like I use it often or put a lot of miles on it so an older car would work fine for me now I think.

I don’t know what happened but my sites just aren’t making money anymore, I was doing good for a while there but things just dropped off all of the sudden. Not sure what to do anymore, but I know I need a car…

So I need money to get a car but I’m not sure what to do as I can’t go anywhere to earn that money right now…..  damn…. I’m just screwed…

Noctua NH-U12S CPU Cooler Review

Need a new CPU Cooler? Then check out my latest review:

 

Review Link: http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/noctua-nh-u12s-cpu-cooler-review/

Review Snipit:
"Noctua is always innovating with new product designs and they’ve just introduced a new tower style cooler, the NH-U12S which is what I have for review today. This cooler is a thin design, it’s only 45mm deep which makes it ideal for using with performance style ram that utilizes large style heatspreaders as it doesn’t protrude over the ram slots of the majority of motherboards made today. The cooler utilizes the Noctua NF-F12 which is a 120mm forced focus fan that’s made specifically for use with CPU coolers. The NH-U12S can use one fan or you can purchase an additional fan for even more cooling performance, with one or two fans the NH-U12S runs virtually silent like most all Noctua products. I’ve put the NH-U12S up against several other coolers for comparison, and it performs very well indeed, so read on to learn more… "

Quote: "Tablets are everywhere these days as they are expected to surpass PCs in sales by 2015 according to C|Net. With some many numerous choices in terms of brands and sizes choosing between Apple, Android and Microsoft based versions can be daunting. Each brand has its strengths and weaknesses. Some brands such as the HP TouchPad have already fallen to the wayside. The current batch of Android tablets are matching and even surpassing Apple’s iOS in terms of features.

For today’s review we will look at the Idolian Mini Studio 8. Idolian, a company that makes tablets and tablet accessories have two versions of their Studio Series this 8” model and a 10.1” screen version. This high performance tablet features a dual core processor and runs the most recent version of Android 4.1 aka Jelly Bean.

Some of the specs include 16 GB of flash memory with the ability to expand storage up to 32 GB using a micro SD, a front and rear camera, built-in speakers, microphone, Bluetooth capability, 1024 x 768 pixel resolution and something not found in Apple iPads or most budget tablets – HDMI output"
