I have had turkey on thanksgiving every year of my life, but it wasn’t till this year that I had fried turkey, I never even knew that you could fry a turkey. Well I guess you could fry anything but I just assumed that a turkey would be too big. Turns out its not and that you can deep fry a turkey and it is actually very good (and very unhealthy for you). If you have never tired it you should go out and try it, change things up for once at thanksgiving; here are instructions on how to do this. I think all you need is a turkey and a giant deep fryer, and really who doesn’t have that lying around their house?

So I enjoy playing poker online every now and then and have been a fan of Texas Hold’em ever since it became all the rage some years ago. In that whole time I have been playing Texas Hold’em, and other types of Poker games before that, I have never seen a Royal Flush, that is until today. It was something I had never seen in my entire life and so I thought I would share it with everyone. I was playing on PokerPages which seems to be the best online poker software for OS X.

I JUST found out about this, and it’s pretty rad (no this is not a pre-fabbed letter)….
It’s called “Blingo” and it’s a way for a search engine to get more users… they do so by giving away prizes, at random, to people using their ’search engine’ (which is powered by google).
All you do is use the service to do your usual searches, and if you’re searching at the ‘right time of day’ you’ll be a winner…. their prizes include Sony PSPs, portable DVD players, gift certificates (amazon.com/itunes/movie tickets)… tons of cool stuff.
They WILL NOT spam you… They swear by that… so I figure, why not try to win sweet stuff while I’m searching the web?!
Check it out:
*update*
I have not won anything yet, however my buddy who showed me the site has and has posted this picture as proof on his website, and he just signed up yesterday.

I couldn’t believe this when I saw it on The Tonight Show so I did a little research that this was an actual item and can be found at DayClocks
“Every home should have DayClock. They are made for those who don’t care about what time it is, but who need to know what day it is.”
Thats an actual sales point for the Day Clock found on the Who Should Own A Day Clock section.
So if you are the type of person who doesn’t care about what time it is go ahead and check their site out, you probably don’t have too much else to do.

Googles New Ad Sense and Great Firefox Extensions
Google recently made some changes to its ad sense program, and just when you may have thought that I was enough of an ad whore; think again. You may have noticed the new buttons on my sidebar one for Firefox and one to join the ad sense program. Well these are for new referral services where google will pay you any time someone downloads Firefox from your site, or when they sign up for ad sense through your page.
This is a great feature since I already recommend Firefox to every PC user I know. However, it wasn’t till recently that I my self switched from OS X’s beloved Safari to Firefox. The main reason for my switch? I finally found some extensions that now that I have installed and tried out, I can’t live without.
Session Saver is by far the best extension I have ever seen. This extension will preserve your open tabs if for some reason you accidently close your browser or if crashes. This would work really well if you are looking at porn or something, and some one walks in on you and you close your browser really fast but don’t want to lose all the porn tabs you might have open, you cant buy that kind of peace of mind.
Adsense Notifier is a extension that automatically updates and displays your Google ad sense information (pay out, clicks, page visits) in the status bar of your Firefox browser. You can tell it how often you want it to update and saves you a lot of time if you are constantly checking your account.
infoRSS is my favorite RSS aggregator for Firefox. This extension will display any of your “live bookmarks” in a scrolling window in your status bar.
These are my favorite must have extensions for Firefox so do yourself a favor (and myself while your at it) and download Firefox from my site and then get these extensions; especially if you are still using IE.

I am not going to start another post announcing how long it has been since I have last updated my page, but it has been a while. Amazingly I still have 8 loyal subscribers , amazing.
Here I come with the excuses again but I have been studying a lot for the GMAT and part of what I have been doing in learning vocab words; I know I should of learned most of these in high school but I didn’t. So in order to help myself learn words, and provide a public service I am going to start a word of the day feature in hopes that I will update every day and maybe even learn a few of the words in the process.
I been using Quiz-Buddy for Palm OS to help me study which has been working really nice, the only problem with it is that it doesn’t come with a Quiz for the GMAT vocab words. I did however purchase the GMAT Exambusters Study Cards awhile back and it took some time, but I have made a quiz for Quiz-Buddy using the vocab from the these cards. So if there is anyone out there who wants this quiz just let me know.
Hopefully soon I will be able to update all of you (8 of you anways) on the little things I have been using and havn’t been able to write about.
