Atlanta video photographer’s adventure in Kuwait part thirteen

You know how they always joked about the latrines inMASH?  They do it here too, for good reason.  For men,there’s a manly pissoir that consists of a two by six foottrench, five feet deep, surrounded by four walls ofcardboard. 

The Atlanta video photographer has no real privacy.

Adjacent to them are eight or soold-school outhouses.  The contents drop into largesawed-off steel barrels.  Every morning, someunfortunate group of soldiers has to grab each barrelwith tongs, pull it to the rear, douse the contentswith diesel fuel and let fly with a match.  The ragingfires are a source of much dark humor here.

Is U-Verse the Right Choice For You?

 

If you have ever moved into a new home, you know there are literally dozens of decisions to be made. One of these decisions you are faced with is whether to hook up with the cable TV company, or consider one of the alternatives.

 

People usually have a love-hate relationship with the cable company. They love the entertainment, but usually hate the customer service and the high charges that come along with cable TV. Fortunately, there are plenty of choices in today’s marketplace, as AT&T and Verizon offer television services in many areas of the country. This is due to new technology that allows the delivery of television signals over the old telephone network.

 

AT&T U-verse is one example of this 21st century technology.  Their fiber to the node or FTTN setup allows whole neighborhoods the ability to recieve their phone service, high speed internet, and cable television all through one company.

Have you ever gone to the grocery store and couldn’t remember what you needed when you got there. I used to be a list person, but I was told that my memory skills would increase if I stopped writing everything down. So, off to the store I went without my grocery list. I wandered every aisle of the store, searching for that one thing that I needed. And then I remembered; I needed a dvi-d cable, and I was at the wrong store. Well, boy did I feel foolish, especially after wandering a grocery store for an hour only to leave empty-handed. But I got to the electronics store, bought the cable, and headed home. I was half-way through installing it when I also remembered that I needed to buy celery for that night’s casserole.

Sansa Fuze for me

If I had no choice but to buy a Sansa player, which sansa player would you purchase. We held a survey here at Sansa Reviews and found that most people would choose the Sansa Fuze over any other Sansa player. This is because it is the most practical mp3 player out of all the MP3 players that SanDisk produces. With Samsung trying to take over SanDisk, they might be able to work and give the Sansa palyers more features that would make it more attractive. But since I have more choices than Sansa players, I do not have to worry about getting a Sansa.

Is it worth it to get component to HDMI convertor for Xbox 360

Recently, fellow Xbox 360 Blog blogger Joe Rocha purchased a new component to HDMI convertor for the Microsoft Xbox 360. Initially he thought that the graphics was sharper than before and he felt that it was a great investment. But we are now hearing from him that no matter what you do, no matter how much you fiddle around with the HDTV settings, no matter what you do to the environmental lighting, the whites are just too bright. So our verdict is, just stick with your component cables. It is still sharp enough and like it really makes a difference to the game.

Fallout 3 impressions

Well I got my hands on a copy of Fallout 3. First off, it is a great game, and the graphics are absolutely gorgeous. It does borrow from Oblivion significantly in terms of graphics but that is by no means a bad thing. PS3 Blog did report some visual bugs but luckily they are not there on the other platforms. THere will probably be an update patch some time soon that will rectify the problem. The overall gameplay is also very satisfying and the enemies are super fun. It is a very gritty game that keeps in touch with its roots.

I have a 15 year old daughter who is going to be the death of me. She is a beyond the typical teenager. She must wear the most in fashions and she must have one of the latest mobile phones to stay up with everyone else in her year at school. She changes phones about every four months. Whenever a new style comes out or a new cool colour of mobile phone. She trades her old phone in and gets a little credit for it and then gets the new mobile phone for next to nothing because she extends her plan at the same time. Teenagers!
