Robert Plant’s Thoughts on Angel Dance

Kodak or HP?

I want to buy a new printer for home. It has to be inexpensive, have a small footprint, and be something that I can go buy off the shelf and not have to order. It would be great if I could find one today – I have a lot of things to scan and print. I found some good deals on HP printers, but now I am seeing commercials for Kodak printers and they say that the Kodak ink refills are much cheaper than other inks. That makes sense to me – some of these refill ink cartridges can cost as much as $70. That’s crazy expensive for a printer that only cost about $100 in the first place!

Learning Facebook

Just recently I realized that most of my friends have abandoned their MySpace pages and opened a new Facebook account. The Facebook iste is free but very different from the MaySpace features. I have made an account but i am trying to learn my way around the site. It seems awfully easy to make people mad on Facebook. I guess I have to watch my words more carefully over there.

Wi Fi Bug

We didn’t realize it, but when we plug in the Playstation 3 and play with it on the internet – its best feature – then the Playstation causes a problem for the household computers that are using the wi fi network. Anyone who is online when the Playstation gets turned on will be kicked offline and have to restart their PC to be able to get on the internet again. That is beyond annoying when you have a house full of computer users.

Playstation

We bought a new Playstation 3 and have been spending way too much time this week playing games on it. I like the games that let you get on the internet and play against other people. And you can watch blu ray movies on it too. Great game console. Glad we spent the money on it now instead of waiting for Christmas.
