Pizza Hut Lincoln 200th Birthday promotion »
by Glen A. Since February 12, Pizza Hut has been running a promotion in honor of President Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday. Like the free Grand Slam meal offered by Denny’s earlier this year, the Pizza Hut promotion is an attempt to lure in customers, particularly in these times of economic difficulty and uncertainty. The promotion [...]
Smart for Life–Week 9 »
by Glen A. Since opening the new box, I’ve been eating the blueberry and chocolate chip cookies. I did have some chicken soup yesterday, but that’s about the only variance. I haven’t been eating the oatmeal raisin because Angela prefers it over the chocolate chip. Hey, to each their own, right? As has become my [...]
Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection (PS3) »
by Trevor A. Sonic the Hedgehog? Streets of Rage? Golden Axe? Vectorman? On a current-gen console? Yep. The fastest hedgehog in the world is back and he’s brought some friends this time. Forty Genesis (Mega Drive to the rest of the world) classics on a single DVD/Blu-ray Disc! Not to mention nine Master System games. [...]
Valentine’s Day gifts from Pajamagram »
by Glen A. I don’t normally do anything for Valentine’s Day. It’s not that I’m not romantic, or don’t love my wife. I could probably get into a long treatise on the rampant commercialism in our society’s holidays, but there’s more of a pratical explanation. The way it works out in our household, there’s three [...]
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (DVD) »
by Glen A. After watching the first film, Madagascar, I was less than impressed with the main characters and their celebrity voice talent (Ben Stiller as Alex the Lion, Chris Rock as Marty the Zebra, Jada Pinkett Smith as Gloria the Hippopotamus and David Schwimmer as Melman the Giraffe) as I was with the supporting [...]
Smart for Life–Week 8 »
by Glen A. Can you say 221.4? That was my official weight as of Saturday, February 14. I think I can also officially say that I’ve lost 20 lbs., which means I’m still keeping that 2.5 lbs. a week pace. This week was actually pretty good diet-wise. We went out to a local restaurant on [...]
XBOX 360 & XBOX Live–Why they stink and how to fix them »
Todd H. and his four sons playing on their five XBOX 360s What follows is an email sent to Microsoft XBOX 360 and XBOX Live directly, and now posted, by request, on this site. To Microsoft XBOX 360 and XBOX Live, I want to share my feelings about the five XBOX 360s I have in my [...]
Don Lee Farms Turkey Burgers »
by Glen A. One of the things the Smart for Life diet allows me to eat protein-wise is turkey. It also allows for turkey burgers. I told Angela this and so on last Saturday’s trip to Costco, she picked up some Don Lee Farms frozen Turkey Burgers. I didn’t read the packaging (didn’t actually see [...]
The new look CasaCena »
by Glen A. CasaCena got a major overhaul this week, and we hope that there’s now something for everyone. On our welcome page (scroll to the bottom of the page for a link), we made a point of saying we were going for simple on purpose. That’s still our adjective, but you’ll also see there’s [...]
Smart for Life–Week 7 »
by Glen A. First things first. As of Sunday, February 8, I weighed 224.4. A pretty incredible feat, given we had people over Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. We had plans for another family over on Monday, but they canceled due to illness. The dinners themselves weren’t too bad calorie-wise. I maintained some discipline there, but [...]
Guitar Hero World Tour (PS3) »
by Trevor A. The Guitar Hero series has always been about one thing: being a guitar hero. Guitar Hero was a proven success back in 2005 when Harmonix first brought it to market. The keys were then handed to Neversoft to continue bringing the people what they want: more Guitar Hero (Or cowbell. It’s your [...]
Smart for Life–Week 6 »
by Glen A. Can’t say things were all that exciting this week in the weight loss category. We began the week at a friend’s house for dinner, where I ate a little more than I have been (but I didn’t get too carried away, as I have in the past), and then the rest [...]
