There's a contest going on over at Funny Joke Site, the winner of the best joke or picture submitted will win $30 cash. I'd say it's worth checking out, or at least checking some of the entries!

Uncertain

2006-02-26T21:49:00.000-05:00

Ok, I find myself at a crossroads now. Even though I currently own 23 websites on "real" domains, I find myself torn over whether or not to register yet another domain for my blog. I would like to have a blog, I guess to share with my family and close friends more personal information.

I'm back here now....For a bit

2006-02-26T12:59:00.000-05:00

I have made yet another command level decision regarding my bblog. I think that for the time beong, I will maintain this blog(on blogger) for more personal items such as wat's going on with me, and things like that.

My other blog, will now be known as Brads Reviews and will be reserved for reviews only. I will still maintain my share of product and website reviews there.

In the future, I might move yet again to another personal blog. I just felt like I was trying to cover too broad of topics there.

Baking Stones

2005-10-04T19:15:00.000-04:00

When my wife told me she wanted to purchase some baking stones from The Pampered Chef, I was strongly against it. "We have plenty of cooking pans." I told her. She talked me into it, and she bought several pieces. Well, that was about a year ago, and I wouldn't want to cook with anything else! These stones are very easy to clean. In fact, you shouldn't use soap on them, just scrape them off, give it a good wipe with a wet clean cloth and there you go! Since we've had them, they seem to get easier to clean, I guess becasue the oils that absorb in the stone. I would recommend these to anyone! They might cost a little more, but are well worth it!

Alaska Airlines smells like fish

2005-10-04T07:15:00.000-04:00

Alaska Airlines unvealed a new paintjob on a Beoing 737, making the plane look like a giant salmon. This paintjob took nearly a month to complete, and cost roughly $500,000. I laughed about it until I heard that this paintjob was paid for by the American taxpayer. This is pork barrel spending at it's finest! The official excuse is to promote the Alaskan seafood market

Bradsblog is Moving!

2005-10-01T17:26:00.000-04:00

Well I've been pondering it for a while, and I registered today the domain name of www.bradsblog.net. I am not sure if I will continue to use blogger or move on to wordpress, but I certainly will keep you informed. I am very excited about this move!!!!Be sure to keep checking back for details!

POWWEB

2005-10-01T07:16:00.000-04:00

As many of you know, I run several websites. Two of which are hosted with Powweb. While I am overall dissatisfied with the service I am receiving, I can do nothing at this point but unleash the wrath of my blog powers. First of all, after I signed up with them, through rookie ignorance, I learned that they are a bit pricey if you have multiple domains. Second, there seem to be more outages than normal servers. Last night, I lost contact with two of my websites- www.stampingallery.com and www.blog-hints.com. I checked the powweb website and they said they're working on it. This is bullcrap. If you are in the market for a web server, I would recommend Dreamhost. They are cheaper and have less outages. Contact me and I can get you a discount link.

Taylor 5553 Body Fat Analyzer Bath Scale

2005-09-29T08:42:00.000-04:00

I bought this scale about 14 months ago, and have been quite pleased with it. I have read several reviews on Amazon.com and they have been a bit poor. I have replaced the 9 volt battery once since I've had it, and the reading are fairly consistent.(You need to stand the same way every time) If you want a good reading, make sure your scale is on a level surface, and if you are measuring BMI(Body Mass Index) it is best if your feet are a bit damp. Overall I am pleased with this product.

Crystal Light

2005-09-28T17:09:00.000-04:00

Ever since I started my diet back in July, fluid intake has been a cornerstone of it. The best way for me to get my water intake was to hammer the Crystal Light(made by Kraft Foods). Since I started drinking this beverege, I have found that many stores offer their generic version of this. I do most of my shopping at Kroger, and they offer an off brand. Target and Walmart also serve up this tasty beverege in generic fashion. The generic version tasted just as good and is normally about half the price. From my experience, Walmart has the biggest selection of drinks over the other stores in my area. If you are dieting, or just like to eat healthy, I highly recommend Crystal Light or any of the spin-offs.

Diet Update

2005-09-25T20:48:00.000-04:00

What started off with me taking part in the WebMD Weight Loss Clinic, I lost about 10-15 pound on it before I decided that I couldn't find myself time to journal all the food I was eating. So, I decided to quit them and go along on my own. To tell you the truth, it really hasn't been all that tough. Don't get me wrong, i still go nuts on ice cream and occassionally pizza, but for the most part, it's lots of green veggies and poultry. I never knew turkey burgers could be so good! So, I am down to around 180 pounds, I started off over 200. I do not have a "goal", because I don't want to claim victory then quit and gain it all back.

No Cage Eggs

2005-09-20T20:58:00.000-04:00

Well, just when you think you've seen it all. I was at Kroger yesterday doing some needed grocery shopping and as I was grabbing an 18 pack of eggs that were on sale ($ .99) I noticed an egg carton for sale. It was the animal rights version of eggs. These are the eggs for people that like to treat the animal good before eating it. I guess farmer Brown lets the chickens roam all over the farm and he picks up the eggs wherever they drop. The funny thing is, these eggs were going for about $2.50 per dozen. I couldn't help but laugh about it.

NASCAR – Don’t screw it up

2005-09-17T06:44:00.000-04:00

I really enjoy watching a NASCAR race on Sunday afternoon. I happen to be a Tony Stewart fan. Like many I know, I must question the new “NASCAR Playoffs”, or Race to the Nextel Cup as it’s called. NASCAR decided to do this for a couple of reasons.

First, they don’t like the idea of losing fans to Sunday Football.
Second, and this is the one that aggravates me, with ten races left, they take the top drivers and reset their points so that the top driver is within 50 points of the lowest contender. They then finish out the season, and the highest points winner wins the cup. This would keep many fans interested as long as their driver was a contender. However, this year, most of the more popular drivers are not in contention (Dale Earnhart jr, Jeff Gordon, etc) and therefore all their fans have nothing to look forward to.(So why watch the race?)

Well, I like NASCAR over many other sports because I don’t need to worry about hearing about labor contract disputes, steroids, or really anything else. The problem is NASCAR is moving away from what the fans want, and more towards the big money business decisions

Entertainment Book

2005-09-16T10:17:00.000-04:00

My wife and I have decided not to buy the Entertainment books that my son's school puses for a fund raiser. I was curious what others felt about them. It seems like you use a couple of coupons right after you buy the book, then you kind of forget about the book the rest of the year.

NFL-Superbowl.net FORUMS

2005-09-13T06:56:00.000-04:00

The big power outage in the Los Angelos area yesterday knocked out my new NFL-Superbowl site for most of the day. This morning, I did some upgrades to the site, as well as posted a few topics in the forums. I invite everyone to visit the forums and let me know wat you think!

NFL-Superbowl

2005-09-11T20:01:00.000-04:00

Just to put out the word, I launched a new website tonight. It is www.nfl-superbowl.net. It will have a discussion forum, and have quick links to most NFL type sites. Give it a click and check it out!

One Step Ahead Hearth Cushion

2005-09-10T15:26:00.000-04:00

Well, against my wishes, my wife purchased a Hearth Cushion, made by One Step Ahead. She paid roughly $60 for it, and after it was all put on, the cushion does not adhere to the hearth very well at all. In fact, this, in my opinion, was a complete waste of money.

Microsoft Word Add On

2005-09-10T00:10:00.000-04:00

Well I just downloaded the Microsoft Word Add-on for blogger. So, finally I can compose my blogs in Word.(as I’m doing now) You can get yours here. Let me know what you think of it!

Ads on Blogs

2005-09-09T22:07:00.000-04:00

When I first started blogging, it was only for fun. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy doing it, but now I have ads on it. At first, I remember thinkign to myself "Who would ever put ads in their blog?". Over time, I began to rethink things. The ads in my blog don't generate much of anything, but a little is better than nothing. It's my blog, can't I do what I want with it?

Link Exchange

2005-09-09T00:10:00.000-04:00

I will offer link exchanges on BradsBlog (real link, not blogroll) as well as the blog-hints directory and only ask that you post a link to blog-hints in your blog. Post requests here, and not in the comments for recommendation. However, I will not honor porn sites, or anything like that. I am n the process of phasing out my blogroll list and creating a real link exchange section.

Link Exchange update

2005-09-08T12:43:00.000-04:00

Well, I'm not an HTML guru, but I am figuring that if I post a link on blogroll as a link exchange, it is not actually helping that site/blog becasue the link is actually not in my code. I plan to gradually put these links in a special links section.

2005-09-04T10:12:00.000-04:00

Well, there is now a forum on blog-hints.com. It could be a good resource for getting blog-related questions answered. Also you can post you blog link there to get a review and comments on it. Here is the link
