If you’re looking at an alternative to paying the high cost of getting glasses from places like Lenscrafters, look no further than warbyparker.com
Prescription frames plus lenses for $95!! Plus you get to try 5 pair at home for free. This option saved me at least $300 bucks this time around.
Looking forward to the Brosbowl. The Black Birds vs The 50 – 1 ers. It should be a good game. Next year Steelers, next year.
After my son man handled my glasses a few times, I knew it was time to start looking at getting a new pair. I hadn’t gotten a new pair in about 3 years so I was past due anyway. I decided to get my new pair from warbyparker.com. I ordered my new glasses on a Friday night. My current glasses broke on Saturday night!!!
It’s almost been a year since the last time I posted to this blog. A lot has changed since then. But the most important thing is my son was born!! I love you Boogie!!
I quit Facebook today. Boy do I feel like a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulders. Social networking is supposed to be fun….
It’s so nice outside. Why am I setting in the freakin house in front of this freakin computer…
I finally got an iPad. I cheaped out and went for the original and not the iPad2. I figured I’d save 100 bucks and skip the video camera. It’s slightly thinner and lighter. Looks like the processor isn’t any real jump in speed and the battery life is the same.
I’ve been on the search for the perfect streaming music service for about the past 2 years. So far I’ve tried the following services:
1. Last.FM
2. Pandora
3. Slacker
4. Grooveshark
5. XM Radio
6. Rdio
7. Audiogalaxy
Grooveshark was my go to service before I started to heavily stream music to my smartphone. They have a very nicely designed Android app. But it constantly has buffering issues and just stops playing. It also freezes up my phone from time to time.
I’ve never been a big Pandora user, I used Last FM instead. I’ve always preferred the playlist Last FM creates compared to Pandora. Pandora seems to create the same playlists when I choose similar artist. It also tends to change genres all together after listening for a while. I still use Last FM when I just want to start a radio station. I scrobble to Last FM with other services. I briefly used Slacker, but went back to Last FM. I’m kind of disappointed that Last FM will start to charge for their mobile app, but it’s no big deal since I mainly use the website player.
I used XM Radio in my car and the web subscription for a while. Just couldn’t justify paying that kind of money content I had so little control over. It seemed like the same songs played every time I tuned in. The service became very repetitive.
I subscribed to Rdio for a while. The service is top notch and their Android app is excellent. The 2 gripes I have about Rdio is the gaps in their music collection and of course.. THE PRICE!! 10 bucks a month is steep just to listen to music on your smartphone. I don’t understand the concept of these paid services charging a certain price to stream from their website, but then doubling the price to use the mobile version.
Currently I’m using Audiogalaxy. So far so great!! I have access to all of my personal music from anywhere, for free. The service is in beta and I’m curious to know how long the service will be free. I love not having to worry about syncing my music to a device. The iPod sync routine is sooo old school!!
Well, my Steelers lost. But I think they did extremely well for a season I was doubtful they’ed even make it to the playoffs.
