Book/Series Recommendation.

I watched the first 2 seasons of Game of Thrones and liked them so much I decided to read the books, I'm now knee deep in the third book and they are worth reading, I'm actually not an avid reader of non-fiction, and even less so of big long series (I haven't even read Harry Potter), but these...

Going to San Francisco - Suggestions

We've never been up to Napa so I'm not sure when the best time to go is. A general rule of thumb (or joke) we use for California is: if you want to do something, a thousand other people want to do it also, and at the exact time you want to do it. So you're probably sixes either way :)

Going to San Francisco - Suggestions

Yeah, whatever is on the Rice-A-Roni box :) That's a good tip about the CityPass, we've never even thought to look at them because we live in the area and have a car, but I'll remember that for next time.

Boo ticketmaster charges

I think the reason they don't add it into the ticket price is because then they would have to share it with whoever gets a cut of the ticket price. As it stands now, I think the "convenience fee" is pure profit to Ticketmaster...

Cheapest place to buy decent whey protein?

They (Walmart's Body Fortress) actually have a new flavor, "Chocolate Peanut Butter" that tastes pretty good. 1 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup chocolate milk, a banana, 1.5 scoops chocolate peanut butter in a blender is pretty darn tasty.

Exercise at home

I'm the same way as you, there is no way I would find the motivation to go to a gym. Luckily there are tons of things you can do for around $300. If you want to lift weights you can usually pick up a full set of weights (that includes a bench, a bar or two, and about 265 lbs of weights) on...

vista start up "blank screen"

I had this same problem and it turned out to be a driver issue. The driver worked fine until Vista updated itself and then the next time I rebooted it hung on a blank screen forever. You at least get into Vista after a few minutes. I had to boot into safe mode and rollback my system to before I...
