Catbarnes says "Computer Crafting at it's best" about PC Crafter

Catbarnes — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:18:57 GMT

PC Crafter is an online store which sells graphics and fonts. The difference between PC Crafter and other for sale graphics sites? That's easy--the prices, the customer service, the quality and variety of graphics available and the community atmosphere.

I just recently began doing computer crafting and came across this wonderful site. They offer a community message board for sharing ideas and the people on the site are wonderful. The graphics include any thing you can think of, but if you find something they don't have, put in a suggestion and one of their fine artists will look at creating it.

The community of people alone make it worth visiting the site. Everyone from professional crafters who sell at large shows and online stores to beginners like me.

Check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Catbarnes says "Save Money, Earn Points, Get Gift Cards" about MyPoints

MyPoints is a user friendly site which allows you to earn points which you can use for gift cards to a very wide variety of stores, both online and off line.

I had my doubts, but I just cashed out my some of my points for the first time and my gift cards were here within a week. I couldn't even believe it.

It's easy to earn points and I haven't been "spammed" like I was really concerned.

I would strongly recommend (and have already to all my friends and family) to try MyPoints. They have "no credit card required" offers and survey offers which earn points. So you can even earn points if you never purchase anything. It's a wonderful program.

Catbarnes says "The only show I have to watch every week" about Bones

Catbarnes — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 14:36:55 GMT

I only have one show that is a "can't miss" every week and this is it. I am an avid reader and often find Movies and TV shows which are loosely based on books I've read to disappoint me, however, Bones is not one of those disappointments.

The show has a wonderful underlying storyline, yet each week's show is interesting enough that they can stand on their own. This isn't one of those "if you didn't see it from the beginning you're lost" shows. Instead, each week continues to build the characters and make them feel more real every week.

The stories are great mysteries and I love to see how each unfolds from week to week.

Catbarnes says "Best Mother's Day present ever" about Boost Mobile - i450 Cell Phone

Catbarnes — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:59:59 GMT

I was one of those people who said they would never use a cell phone, but the i450 sure changed my tune! I love the ease of use. The menu screen is set up similiar to using a desktop computer so navigation was easy to get used to. The ability to scroll through recent calls at the touch of a button and call waiting are nice.

I love being able to set different phone settings to different situations. For example I have an "At Work" setting that I can switch my phone to that puts everything on Viberate with the touch of a single button. But, I have other settings that put some things on viberate and some to ring through.

The walkie talkie feature is wonderful and simply do not know how I survived without it.

There are still areas though that do not have good service and there are times I find myself very frustrated with the walkie part going in and out.

I love having access to my account online and a list of all the calls for the past 45 days that I've made at the click of a mouse. I...

Catbarnes says "More Everything for your money" about Microsoft - Zune (80GB) Media Player

Catbarnes — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:46:41 GMT

I bought the Zune last year for my son for Christmas. He was the only one of his friends who had one (everyone else had I-Pods). Now, this year, all his friends are asking their parents for a Zune for Christmas. The amount of music, video and photos you can store is incredible. You hear 30 GB, but you don't really comprehend how big that is until you start using it.

The FM Radio part is a big plus for us too, because not only does it play the station, but most times, it will list the name of the song & artist name that is currently playing.

Creating play lists are easy and everything is categorzied. When you load a music CD on there and you're connected to the internet it downloads the artist name and song title as well and stores it to the Zune.

So, this year for Christmas, my teenage son wants the new Zune 2 which is smaller and sleeker and my preteen daughter wants the new Zune 4 GB. Guess it'll be a Zune Christmas this year. Ho! Ho! Ho!
