I found this Electric Wheelchair

So I got this thing from the dumpster at work. Its mad old, and I'm not sure if it works. I took it out and left it by the dumpster for a couple days. It would not fit in the back of my car. Coming back from lunch on day 2. The excitement over having this thing was palpable. I noticed that it wasn't where I left it. Errrrrrrt. The brakes squealed and I put it in reverse. I got out to confront my problem, well fernando got out and confronted it while I waited. I had gotten him hyped more than I expected. Seems it was right there, in the back of a truck. Hey this guy is takeing apart my wheelchair!? Ok dude, what is going on here. Oh I was waiting for my boss and I thought I would take apart your wheelchair and sell it for metal. What!? Are you insane, We need those parts. Ok so he gets it out of the truck and gives it back. The seat is gone, the wires cut, but now it fits in my backseat. So there it rests for the past week. I will now try to upload images.









ok so I lost a few pictures there, I'll try again later.

BitPIm

I am using the software BitPim, to interface with my cell phone, a chocolate I inherited from a friend. The BitPim program allows me to upload the images to my computer at a higher resolution than you could otherwise achieve with the Verizon approved email route. I can also add ringtones without paying ridiculous fees. I am not a rich man, and I need all the concessions I can get, and this free software allows me to do something with my phone I otherwise couldn't, or at least not for a price I want to pay. The chocolate's camera is not the greatest and the pictures that I get even through BitPim are not great, but like I said this is all I can afford and it will be my primary method of providing images for this blog.

what is going on here

Hmmm, I forgot how to post on here. But now that I found it it was really stupidly easy. I am still not sure where I am going to take this blog, the first round was pathetic and not really what I am all about, so the course of this blog will change considerably. I don't have any readers yet, so this will not affect you.

Fraud Prevention

In this day and age of computers and networking, fraud prevention is no longer just for the paranoid. Your personal information is being held by many different companies and organizations. Many of these organizations are the target of hackers and fraudsters. It would not be hard for your personal information to be compromised even if you take great care to prevent it. This is why I have decided to lock my credit report. I got my credit report, then verified that all the transactions and accounts were legitimate. Then I used the locking feature of the agency I used. My credit is now locked. There is no way that a new transaction can be added unless I temporarily unlock it. If my information is compromised, an identity thief will not be able to take out a payday loan in my name. If I want to take out a loan, I can just click a few links and allow my vendor of choice access to my credit report to process the transaction. I recommend monitoring and locking your credit report. It cost less than ten dollars a month for most of the different companies that can monitor and lock your credit report. This is a small investment that could save money and heart ache later on if you were the target of identity theft.

New Blog: mission statement

I have created a new blog. Oh Joy of Joys. I'm going to put advertising on it and see how that works. I know I'm late to the show here but i'm sure i can get a fist full of pennies with zero investment. Mainly i'm doing this to learn more about how adsense works. hopefully I will learn something of value.
