Just Watched The Entire America's Got Talent Season 7 In YouTube

I wasn't doing anything these past few days because I didn't get any work. My internet connection went down (thanks SmartBRO) and, because of that, my client wasn't able to send me any work. Not having any work means no money for me but it also gave me a lot of time to waste. I've always been a big fan of talent shows and one of my favorite foreign talent show program is America's Got Talent. I like it because it features some of the weirdest,...

My SmartBRO Canopy Got Hacked

Last week, my internet connection suddenly went haywire. It was timing out like a madman and because of that my internet connection was very rocky. This made downloading and uploading files bigger than 1 MB impossible. When this happened, I was receiving new images to work on from my employer in Australia. I needed to process and return the processed or edited images back the next day but, because of my rocky internet connection, I failed to...

Chopper Live: Road To Revenge, The Bikes Revealed

I just finished watching Chopper Live: Road To Revenge and it was awesome. All four teams were busy building their bikes and they all had their own way of building it. (Chopper Live: The Revenge Build-Off Bikes. Image Credit: Discovery Channel) Paul Jr. and his team went with style and used Classic Cars as the theme of their custom bike. They incorporated features and even parts found in old cars in their build. The final product was a sleek, classy...

I'm Thinking Of Buying A New Android Phone

Currently, I'm using my ZTE Lite V9 android tablet to send and receive both text messages and phone calls. I have no problems using it at home but using it outside is kinda awkward because of its size. It's only 7 inches but it's still too big to be carried around like a phone. I need a phone that I can easily carry wherever I go but, I don't want just any ordinary phone, what I want is an Android Phone. Unfortunately, Android Phones from popular...

My Worst Job Interview Ever

I wrote about this experience a few years ago on my other blog/site and I have no idea how I lost it. In this post, I tried to recall what happened but I didn't mention the name of the company anymore because, the last time I mentioned it, a former officemate almost took a swing at me. Are you wondering why he did that? Well, I found out that he was employed by this particular company and he didn't like what I wrote about them. The clincher...

Free VPN, How To Connect With VPNBook.com

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network and, before I continue, I want everyone who'll read this that I'm not an expert in VPN but I do use it, often. I use VPN because it allows me to access websites that are not accessible from my location. For example, some websites like HULU blocks access from countries outside the United States of America. Now, why do I want to access HULU? The answer is simple and that's to watch television shows for FREE....

Animes I'm Currently Watching And Following This Winter 2012

I grew up watching Superfriends, Voltes V, Daimos, Transformers, He-Man, Thunder Cats, Astro Boy, G.I. Joe, Dragon Ball Z and a whole bunch of other animated shows. Back then, I call all these animated shows cartoons but, as I grew older, I learned that some of them were actually called animes. (Image Credit: sxc.hu) I never stopped watching them and, in recent years, I moved from watching them in Betamax, VHS, Laser Disc, VCD to DVD. Now,...

Setup Blogger With Domain Name From Namecheap

Last week, this blog's internet address or URL was http://rom1975.blogspot.com but, now, it's http://www.rom1975.com. I recently purchased the domain name rom1975.com from NameCheap and used it on this blog. The price to register the domain name was only $10.69 USD but I paid less than that because I used a special NameCheap coupon that gave me a little discount. This special coupon is only available for the month of October 2012 and it's called...

New Blogger Template For ROM'1975

When I started this blog, ROM'1975, earlier this year the blogger template that I used on it was a modified version of the very popular Ads Theme Blogger Template. It wasn't just a popular blogger template, it was also my favorite. In fact, I used it on almost all my other blogger or blogspot blogs. (Modified or Customized ProFinance Blogger Template) Last week, I modified it again by changing the header graphics and adding a background image but,...

Up And Down With SpeedySparrow.com

Currently, all my blogs are hosted by SpeedySparrow.com and, as of this writing, all of them are down. If I'm not mistaken, SpeedySparrow.com is now way off their 99.9 % Uptime Guarantee because the service has been down so many times and in so many hours this year. I transferred to SpeedySparrow.com last year because one of my blogs suddenly got a lot of traffic and, because of that sudden increase in traffic, BlueHost heavily throttled it. This...

Comment Exchange, Do They Read Your Post Before They Comment?

Currently, I'm participating in an activity called Comment Exchange in, at least, three Facebook Groups about Blogging. I participated in this activity because I wanted people to start commenting on my blogs. If visitors see that other people are commenting on a post then it might just encourage them to comment as well. Comment Exchanges in Facebook work like this, if you are a participating blogger then you must post your link to your blog entry...

Gaming Is A Waste Of Time And Money

I mostly blog about online games or MMOs or MMORPGs like Star Trek Online, Champions Online, DC Universe Online, Dragon Nest and others. Obviously, if I'm going to blog about online games then I'll need to play them and, at least, become familiar with them. Unlike most bloggers who can blog about virtually anything, I can only blog or write about things that interests me and one of these things is playing online games. Don't get me wrong, as a...

Jeremy Lin's Winning Streak, Is It Finally Over?

Wow! The last time I followed nor watched an NBA game was when Michael Jordan was still playing for the Washington Wizards. Last week, the NBA had a break-out superstar and he is neither black or white. (Image Credit: NBA, Jeremy Lin, New York Knicks and New Orleans Hornets) He is none other than Taiwanese-American Jeremy Lin and he led the New York Knicks to 7 consecutive victories before losing against New Orleans in a very close game. Is the...

10 Random Things About Me

Obviously, my regular blogs are still down because if they were up and running then you won't see me posting on this blog too often. This is my fourth blog post for today and it is about 10 Random Things About Me. I'm going to make it as random as possible but I must admit some of it are not totally random. For example, I won't consider the fact that I'm a blogger and a freelance web designer random but I'm sure the other things are. Here goes: 1....

Budweiser Shootout Started With A Bang

Are you a fan of NASCAR racing? Well, I like any kind of race in general specially those that involves vehicles like cars, bikes, planes, boats, etc. I also enjoy watching them when I can but not always. Unfortunately for NASCAR fans out there, the Budweiser Shootout started off with a couple of crashes already. The first crash involved five cars and it happen in the last moments of the opening practice for Saturday's Budweiser Shootout. I wish I could say it wasn't a terrible crash but there is no such thing because any crash is terrible....

It seems that our favorite superhero, Superman, is going to have a new movie and we can expect to see it next year. The title of the new Superman movie is Man Of Steel and it is a reboot of the Superman story. What it means is, the movie will start from the very beginning. This Superman movie is not based on any previous Superman movies. Man Of Steel has an all-star...

All Sites Down, SpeedySparrow

As of this writing, all my regular blogs are down. My hosting provider, SpeedySparrow, is currently doing some work on the server that has all my blogs and all I can do right now is wait for them to finish. Hopefully, whatever they are doing will make the server more stable. According to Uptime Robot, the downtime started yesterday, February 17, 2012, at around 12:00 AM. It's already 10: 30 PM of February 18, 2012. So, counting from the time the...
