A while back I was driving home from work and I found a huge box of CAT6 cable laying next to the dumpster at a local business. I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be trash or if someone just sat it there and forgot about it, so I walked in and asked the lady at the front desk. She said that they recently had all of their network and everything rebuilt and that the cable was just left over from the job. There is probably close to 800 feet worth of cable in the box. Being the computer and electronics freak that I am, this absolutely made my day.

My nephew has some of the worst acne that I’ve ever seen. I’ve been reading about various acne treatment medicine for a while now, just to see if I can find something that will work for him. He has tried just about every acne treatment cream and pill that you can think of. I just started reading about some natural acne treatments and found a product called Acnexus. People who use it really seem to be giving good reviews. I think I’m going to order some and see how it works for my nephew.

I’ve been complaining that the flash memory in my digital camera is too small for about a year now. Last week a friend of mine showed me a website that sells a huge variety of memory cards and memory sticks for very decent prices and I now have a new 4gb memory card in my camera. I can’t believe I waited this long to upgrade from the factory 60mb memory. It’s a whole lot nicer being able to store more than 30 pictures at a time.

A friend of mine is very into horses and the whole ranch lifestyle. His birthday is coming up on July 9th and I still can’t think of much to get him. I know he loves equestrian clothing, so I was thinking about getting him a decent size gift certificate to the local western wear store so he can pick a few things out that he’ll actually enjoy. Who knows, I’m terrible at buying gifts.

A while back an employee of a life insurance company came into our office for some computer work and we got to talking. He was telling me about the importance of life insurance for kids. Most families don’t even think to take out a life insurance policy on their children, surprisingly. My mother had a life insurance policy on me from the time I was very young, just in case something bad would have happened, God forbid. Nobody wants to be stuck paying ten thousand dollars for funeral expenses when someone dies.
