Well, I haven’t actually received another paper bill yet to have it confirmed, but I spoke with the supervisor at Comcast again and she said it had been applied to my account. So, that’s good to hear, and I’m pretty sure I can trust that it’s been applied based on our conversation. I feel sort [...]
As you may have seen … I’ve been in an ongoing battle of sorts with Comcast lately. Today I received a bill in the mail for ~$460. I called to ask a question about my bill and navigated through the automated system, choosing options to get to billing. I got someone on the phone and [...]
So, you may remember my comments regarding Comcast, and my … dis-taste for their customer service. A day or so ago, I received this comment from a representative of Comcast. I was fairly impressed that my little blog drew their attention. I decided to go ahead and respond to the email address that was provided [...]
And I’m looking into Direct TV / Dish Network. Good-bye Comcast. I can hardly wait. At this point I don’t even care if it’s not a cost savings. As long as it’s comparable, then any of my money that does not go to Comcast is a good thing.
Well, I’m done moving now pretty much. I still need to unpack some things, but I’m totally out of the old place and have turned in the keys for it, etc. It’s been both a good and a bad experience. I had originally hired Starving Students to do the move for me. I had scheduled [...]
Just wanted to comment on two blog posts/articles I just read. The first is from All Things Digital and can be found here. Basically the article is a somewhat condemning look at the iPhone. He comments a lot about traveling with the iPhone internationally and also about the keyboard, etc. Some of the stuff he [...]
The iPhone keyboard is growing on me slowly. I’m able to type with two thumbs in landscape mode and I’m pretty close to it in portrait mode as well. In fact, I’m typing this entry on my iPhone and its not that painful really. I certainly wouldn’t want to write a long entry on it [...]
So, I don’t really keep it to myself that I’m not a fan of 37Signals. However, they did just do something pretty cool. They released Ta-da List for the iPhone. One thing the iPhone doesn’t have is a to-do list. It doesn’t import tasks from iCalendar either. I do think this is a win-win of [...]
This is a continuation of my review of the iPhone from earlier. I was able to get an adapter to let my iPhone work with my current FM Transmitter setup in my car. It cost me $10. On the way home from the store I plugged it in and started playing music and it’s just [...]
So I purchased an iPhone yesterday. All things considered, I ended up pretty lucky in getting it. I was going by the AT&T store anyhow to meet someone that wanted to buy my Blackjack (which I decomissioned a little over a month ago). Anyhow, the line had started forming, and the store was closed until [...]
Pretty mad about my whole experience with U-Haul at the moment. So I’ll simply show the letter I am sending to their contact forms and mailing off as soon as I can locate their corporate office address: In short, your customer service is horrible. On Sunday, March 25th, I placed an order/reservation on your website [...]
This is part 2 of my Samsung Blackjack review. So I’ve now had a little more time to play with my Blackjack and overall I’m still impressed. I think I’ve spent enough time with it now to be able to speak more towards the battery life and UI. So … let’s get started. Battery Life [...]
I purchased a Samsung BlackJack recently (just yesterday in fact). I suppose my thoughts on it are somewhat limited for the time being, but hopefully I’ll be able to write up a more thorough review eventually. So far I’m very impressed though. Most of the people that I first told about my purchase immediately responded [...]
Well, I decided to sign up for Google App’s to see how I liked it. So far playing around with it has been nice. I have my email setup there and am slowly getting contacts added for GTalk. It’s also neat since you can do some simple customizations like adding you’re own logo. This actually [...]
Woot, just finished it, finally. It really is a good game, and I must say, the Zelda games have become much longer then the original NES one ;) Anyhow, I definitely recommend it, and if you do play and complete it, make sure to watch all the way through the end (I almost got up [...]
I’ve had a little more time to play around with the Wii now and was able to pick up a few extra games this afternoon for it. I’m still very pleased with it, and really surprised by some of its features. Here are some of my thoughts about the console and the games I purchased. [...]
So I finally went ahead and got a Wii (Alex’s post, and talking to Pat finally tipped me towards getting one). I had been talking about it on and off for a little while now. I must admit that I’m pretty impressed with it, from it having built-in WiFi, to the precise/sensitivity of the controls, [...]
While I talk a lot specifically about Lost in this post, I am speaking more broadly about a certain series format on TV, and the problems with that format. Close to a year ago now, I started watching Lost. It was already into its second season, but my roomie had bought the first season on [...]
So I recently purchased a TiVo, and must say that I am in love with it. They’re currently running a deal where you can get the introductory box for free if you sign up for 1 years worth of service, and it really seems like a decent deal. I went ahead and got the Series [...]
This is a horrible show on The Learning Channel (TLC). It’s just … pathetic. Unfortunately the stories are STILL untold because whoever writes the scripts for the actors that are having fun playing Doctor/Nurse/EMT have evidently never stepped foot into a hospital in their lives. First, I’ve only met one or two Doctors ever that [...]
I recently decided to purchase a BlackBerry 8700c from Cingular and felt it was time to give it a bit of a review. So far I’m over-all pleased with the device. Alex King recently bought one as well, it might be helpful to read his thoughts in addition to these if you’re considering purchasing one. [...]
I’m getting so tired of seeing this error message (click to enlarge). This along with the “Oops … we were unable to perform the operation” or whatever their cute-sie error message is has become all too common for the past week to week and a half. It hasn’t come to it yet, but at the [...]
