"I Love My Hat"... PAD #1021

I love when I get a chance to work from home. I find that I get a good deal of work done and I also get to listen to my daughter have a good time playing. Eva has taken to cooing and squealing each morning as she wakes up. She basically gets herself all excited and entertained and when she is hungry the sounds change. This is all very new to us and it is fun. Here cooing and squeals are so spontaneous and they make us smile so much.

I love coupons. I like finding them, cutting them and especially using them. One of my favorite activities on Sunday is reading the paper to find out what places are having sales on things we use all the time. Tonight Allison and I went to CVS to buy many things for Eva, necessities and the like. We ended up with about $100 worth of things and ended up only paying $56 plus we walked out with over $28 in future coupons. So we basically saved close to $75.00. I was ecstatic. Then we went to Babies R Us and got a couple of toys for Eva’s swing and stroller. Eva is starting to grab things and shake them. She grabs our fingers as well as rattled and other toys. Allison filmed Eva with a rattle wailing on one of her stuffed toys that hangs from her baby gym. It is so funny watching how into it she becomes. The kid cracks me up.

The home computer is still not recognizing any items that try and make new drives. So we had to borrow my Dad’s printer so Allison could print things when I am not home. I did send a question to Dear Cali and hope that she has time to help me with this problem as I have not found any help online so far. In fact I have found that not many people who offer ‘expert’ advice have much to add. I also noticed that people who have technical problems don’t offer enough information. I know that Cali Lewis from GeekBrief.tv is knowledgeable and I bet she can help me.

I also got a special delivery today. Check it out on my Utterz video.

I took a page out of AndyCaster’s book. And I got a very special delivery from The Mad Gringo today. Three new Hawaiian Shirts!

Blogging

Time to find hosting…

17 Comments

I have Seven blogs. Five are being hosted on Blogger which is free but is restricted. Also no one wants a blogger account to do any advertising for them, regardless of the popularity of that blog. It is unfair but true. So, what is a guy who makes a little bit of money with his blogs to do? He’s got to find a way to self host his blogs. That is what he has to do. I want to get the most for my money so I am going to want to find the best web hosting services possible.

I found a site called Top 10 Web Hosting that spells out exactly what you get for your money at the top 10 web hosting sites online. This site tells you the monthly fees, the amount of space you get, the amount of bandwidth you get. You can also compare overall ratings of each and every one of the web hosting solutions.

So I feel that it is time to get web hosting for my blog The Wired Kayaker. I would like to find the type of hosting that will allow me to put up my monthly (I’m shooting for monthly) podcasts so that I can have them automatically be added to iTunes. I will need storage space and good bandwidth. Luckily I can look at Top 10 Web Hosting and quickly determine which service will best meet my needs.

My opinion is valuable please read my disclosure policy. The opinion on your blog is valuable too, click on the referral button to find out how valuable.
