USPS Takes Four Days to Go From New York to Pittsburgh?!
by Kristofer Brozio •
Seriously here USPS?
Four days to get from New York to Pittsburgh?
I can drive there in a little under 7 hours. Which means about 14 hours round trip, still though four days for a 7 hour drive? Makes no sense to me at all.
…and people wonder why there not doing any good right?
Yes it’s International, so it has to go through customs. It’s a microSD card, PS Vita case and Network Tester. I don’t see how there could be a problem with it in customs.
I would think the ‘Processes Through Sort Facility’ means that it was processed and it’s done right? Probably not though…

Why I Will Not Vote Republican Ever Again…
by Kristofer Brozio •
I’ll admit it, I’m a Republican, at least on paper or registration, but I haven’t voted in a long time because I don’t like any of them really as they don’t really do anything for the little people. It’s all about money and lobbyists and corporations who can pay the most money, those are the ones that get what they want, even if it isn’t in the public interest. I don’t plan on voting for anyone this election and I want to de-register if that’s possible, or at least I’ll change it to undecided or something or other but I WILL NOT VOTE REPUBLICAN ever again!
The main reason I won’t vote is because I am sick and tired of the phones calls from them. They are non-stop and at all hours of the day and evening. These pre-recorded messages are being sent and if I don’t answer it hangs up on my answering machine. They call and my machine picks up and it’s just silence for a second or so which my machine takes as a message. I come home and there’s ten messages on my machine one day, EVERY SINGLE ONE was a hang up or silence basically.
If I do get a real phone call, I have to sit there and listen to all of those messages until I get to a real one.
I can look at the caller ID and of course every single one is a private caller so I can’t even call back and tell them to stop calling and harassing me. FIOS allows you to block numbers via the website, but I can’t block them because they’re private, so they just keep calling and calling.
I’m tempted to get the call block on my phone for private callers. If a private number calls it doesn’t get through, it gets a message stating we don’t accept calls from private numbers. Sadly I have to pay extra for that and I don’t think I should have to pay money to not be bothered at all hours of the day by these people.
They’ve pissed me off so bad with all of these phone calls, I will never vote Republican again. I won’t vote Democrat either but I just won’t vote at all as I just can’t stand all of these phone calls every, single day. I wish the Do Not Call list applied to politics but sadly it doesn’t.
I’m sick of it.
You’ve lost of voter, you’ve lost a Republican vote and you did it to yourself by harassing me non-stop.
I hope more people will join me really and maybe they’ll get the message that we don’t want these calls.

It’s Jamaica calling mon!!!!!
Yep, here’s another scammer number to add to the ever growing list!
This one is from Jamaica of all places.
This one actually has a article or two I found on Google from local news websites. here’s one of them:http://www.wistv.com/story/19494875/jackson-county-sheriffs-office-warns-of-phone-scams
That’s from WISTV10 website and Jackson County, IL and the sheriff’s office was actually issuing a warning about it.
There’s several scams related to this one including you won money, you won a car, or there’s a delivery for you and you have to pay whatever amount to get it through customs or some such thing.
The company that provides service for the number is http://www.digiceljamaica.com/ and I contacted them via email and filed a complaint and I actually got several responses back and forth between me and a very helpful representative. They actually promised to look into it for me and see what they can do about it. I’m not sure if anything will actually happen but maybe if enough people complain to them, they might do something about it.

ARCTIC USB Wireless Gamepad Review

A new review by me…

" I can pretty much bet that if you have a computer if your home and kids, a lot of what your computer does is gaming. Oftentimes the mouse and keyboard are fine but for some games it just doesn’t work or feel right I think. Up for review today I have the ARCTIC USB Wireless Gamepad for PC that let’s you paly games with a controller instead of using the mouse and keyboard. If you’re a frequent console gamer then I’m sure you’ll appreciate being able to use a similar style controller on your PC as well.Testing was the fun part, I got to play games, and I’ve found the ARCTIC controller isn’t perfect but it works well.
