For the past several years I have always used a prepaid cellphone. Specifically BoostMobile as it had some decent rates. When they made some changes that I did not agree with such as no longer letting you know when you were getting low on minutes, I decided that it was time to change. I had planned on getting the iPhone but this prompted me to do so sooner than later.

Since I got my phone (back in February) I have been talking on it more and more compared to when I had prepaid. This month figuring out the difference it was actually cheaper for me to have my AT&T plan that it would have been had I still used BoostMobile. We are talking straight talk time not including text messaging or internet. I am not a fan of text messaging but I have started using it here and there.

Just thought I would throw that out there.

I got a logo for FetchMerchant designed yesterday. It looks nice and I like it a lot. You can see it over at FetchMerchant.com

I plan on completing and launching the service sometime this year. Hopefully sooner than later. A lot of the features are under wraps and this will be the only service with an all in one feature set.

It was designed by deonya.com. This guy does some really nice work. This is the designer I am planning on having do all the FetchMerchant work.

I have decided that since I didn’t get the jobs I applied for I would start college. I went and talked to the VA lady at LakeMichiganCollege and we are working on getting the GI Bill stuff. I took there assessment exam back around 2005 and they are trying to pull up the scores for that. If they can’t find them then I will have to retake it which isn’t a big deal at all.

I have a few classes I plan on testing out of. Other than that everything is good so far. Will post more when I hear more.

It looks like these guys are at it again. They were one of the first bands to make a big fuss over Napster and file sharing. This time, its douchebaggery on their part. ArsTechnica has posted some news on this. From what I read, they asked some critics to come listen to some new tracks on an album they plan on putting out. The critics then put up a review of the songs in which the Metallica management told them to take it down. So, they had some people listen to it but keep them from talking about it. Under no means are they legally obligated to remove the reviews however most (if not all) have.

Once upon a time they made good music. However lately they are a bunch of douchebags.

Go figure, FOX stoops way low and joins the Hilliary parade. I would like to say I am surprised at a big time news outlet broadcasting this, but its FOX so I am not surprised.
