Mobile Ringtones
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 31, 2006
Mobile ringtones are cool. They are a huge business these days because there are no good ring tones available as a default on your phone when you buy it. You HAVE to get an aftermarket ringtone. This site MobileSidewalk Ring Tones has the best ring tones and a really easy sign up process. Its cool because all [...]

Health & Nutritional Supplements
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 31, 2006
I have been looking into vitamins and nutritional supplements latley because I’ve noticed that I am not eating as well as I should. I’m always on the go and running from one thing to another and don’t have time to cook a balanced meal, so I end up grabbing something quick and not really getting the [...]

All is fun in a new relationship until someone gets sick.
Luckily I have a good doctor that will prescribe something over the phone if the symptoms are some that you’ve had before and you both know what it is.
He called in a prescription just before pharmacy closing time and here I am an hour and [...]

Free Samples
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 26, 2006
I think everyone lights up when they get free samples in the mail, with the newspaper or in a magazine. Its like a little bonus for you that day. You may have had a $1,000.00 bill on fixing the car, but a free shampoo or gum sample makes you feel like you made up a [...]

I am a big fan of Media Metrix data. They send out emails to update you on their statistics a gew few times a month and its a good way to see what’s happening in the web business world. Its interesting if you look at the top web properties for the US or for the world and [...]

What a haunting thought. Companies that purposley decieve new home buyers in order to make an extra buck. It never fails, there is always someone out there looking to take advantage of you and your ambition to own a home. Mortgage fraud is more malicious than other kinds, because it can ruin your credit and [...]

I missed last week’s episode of Studio 60 which wasn’t good for the sake of reviewing it, and I haven’t gotten a chance tio watch it online either…I don’t always have unlimited bandwith. I did see that the viewership went from 8 Million to 7 million last week and it seems to have stopped the [...]

Mobile Internet

If you’re like me you think that surfing the web on your phone is like surfign the web ala 1996. Its slow to download and the pages have no detail and not a lot of room for text or images. Its an ultra simple interface awithout a lot of usefulness yet.
Somehow though there are people [...]

Well not really. That’s the title of of a funny song by Moxy Fruvous though.
If you like traveling to Europe and have thought about buying a property in Spain, its now easier than you thought with this mortgage company. We all know that Spain is fantastic because it’s got all the culture and history you [...]
Easy like a Sunday morning
Posted by: theprotagonist5 on: October 22, 2006
After all the hubub about the Chicago marathon today, it was through Lakeview and the streets cleared by noon. What a welcome suprise. I was able to go where I needed and my car didn’t get towed. Yay for no towing.
In other news I plan on taking in some more shows at Io this week. [...]

Thousands of years ago greeks ran 26.5 miles and then just about fell down and died. Now in present day Chicagoans and other running fanatics from around the world run 26.5 miles and then brag about it. This is the Chicago Marathon and I have to deal with its closing streets, blocking traffic and the [...]
