Carolina Style Bbq Pork

Posted in Non-Review on March 8th, 2009 by Josh

I don’t do a ton of recipes on this site but from time to time I will, this is one of those times. This recipe is for carolina style pork bbq, specifically NORTH Carolina style, which in my book is the only kind that there should be. It takes about 15-20 minutes of actual work. It’s good, very good, if you don’t like it something is wrong with you.

Eye-fi Wireless Memory Card

Posted in Doesn't Suck on March 8th, 2009 by Josh

Eye-fi Anniversary edition I’ve been using the eye-fi card for a few months now and I love the thing. I wholeheartedly recommend picking one of these up if you shoot pictures (and now video!) using a digital camera that supports SDHC cards (which is most modern consumer cameras). So what does this thing do and what makes it so great? Basically it’s like any other memory card, you take pictures and it stores them; the big difference is what happens after that… Read more »

Zicam Nasal Swabs

Posted in Doesn't Suck on December 22nd, 2008 by Josh

Some of you may recall my less-than-stellar review of the Zicam nasal gel remedy. Well, I was fortunate enough to be infected with a cold this year so I thought I’d take the opportunity to try a different Zicam delivery mechanism. Enter the Zicam Nasal Swab. First let me say that “Nasal Swab” does not sound like a product I want to try, so it was with a heavy heart and gentle hand that I tested my first swab. Read more »

Amtrak

Posted in Sucks on August 7th, 2008 by Josh

So I was in NYC today on business which is great, I like NYC and my customers here. That said, let’s get into travelling on Amtrak.

Generally Amtrak is pretty decent the acela runs are nice albeit ridiculously more expensive ($100 EACH WAY) than the regional runs given the real time savings (about 30 minutes DC to NYC) Read more »

Posting from iPhone 3g

Posted in Non-Review on July 22nd, 2008 by Josh

Well the wordpress iPhone app was just released, I’m quite excited by this as it may actually help me post a bit more. So fAr the interface in the app is nice and it seems easy to use, we’ll we how the post looks once published.

About now I was hoping to post an image, doesn’t look like that’s going to happen in the iPhone app, oh well perhaps a future version will add it.

Generally I must say I’m quite pleased with the wordpress iPhone app. If you use wordpress, check it out

*UPDATE* you can add photos see below!

Camera pre-review and coming-soon

Posted in Non-Review on April 15th, 2008 by Josh

So we purchased a new PAS (Point-and-Shoot) digital camera, a Nikon CoolPix S600. I’m off to my sister’s wedding tomorrow and the camera will be in use the whole weekend so expect a full review soon. I’ve had it for a few days now and generally I have to say I’m very pleased so the review preview is that it doesn’t suck.

I’m expecting to try some Russian vodkas that I haven’t previously had and perhaps some different wines as well over the weekend so perhaps some interesting reviews in the food/beverage department as well.

Finally, I’ve also had my Samsung LN-T4671F for several months and will be writing a review of the television shortly, this will also be a doesn’t suck review but there are a few minor issues I’ll be raising. I’ll also discuss some of the other options out there for LCD TV’s and why I went with this particular model.

oobgolf live scoring via iPhone

Posted in Doesn't Suck on April 5th, 2008 by Josh

Before I get into the review I will point out that I am fully aware that my golf game sucks, unfortunately I am not yet wealthy enough to not need to work so it will likely continue to be fairly horrible for a while. With that out of the way this review is of using an iPhone (which I love) to enter scores realtime on oobgolf.com (which I also love). Read on for all the details and lots of screenshots.

A to Z 2005 Pinot Noir

Posted in Doesn't Suck on April 5th, 2008 by Josh

 Opened a bottle of A to Z 2005 Pinot Noir tonight with a ribeye which I prepared using a fantastic hawaiian seasoning (thai basil, maui sea salt, cane sugar, candied ginger). You can supposedly buy the seasoning from the Maui Culinary Academy (they make it) but their website is beyond horrible so I couldn’t find it to link for you. After the jump I stop yammering and get on with the wine review. Read more »

Medical Research

Posted in Sucks on April 3rd, 2008 by Josh

 As you know from my previous posts I am sick. I mentioned that the Zicam nasal gel didn’t do squat because it irritated my nose so much I basically stopped using it, and quite frankly it feels like it made things worse. I am now in the throws of what I would describe as one of the worst colds I have ever had. I am to the point where I am somewhat worried that I may actually have Ebola or the Bubonic Plague, I’ll probably need to take tomorrow off to go pick out a grave plot and headstone. Read more »
