Storms, power outages and computers! Oh My!

by

It looks like we’re going to have a good storm here!

Yesterday when I got up I was surprised to find that it was already 32 Celsius outside and the humidity was making it feel like it was 40 celcius! That’s darn hot! I have a desktop weather network widget on my computer and all day it was flashing warnings that we were expecting a severe storm. That always seems to happen when it gets to be outrageously hot outside.

Well of course it never rained during the day!

Now it’s four a.m. and I can see lightening all round and I hear thunder off in the distance. So I guess we’re getting our storm. We certainly need the rain.

I hate storms though. for some reason the power goes out about half the time whenever the power goes out. I always worry about my nice TV set, it’s a Samsung DLP HDTV and I’d hate for a power surge to cause a problem. Yes we do have a power surge protector but still I worry.

You see, back when we had that big blackout in 2003 that affected something like 50 million people across Ontario and the North Eastern United States we must have had a power surge. It either happened when the power went out or when the power came back on.

All but my desktop computer were ok. You see the power surge did something to the computers power supply and the computer just wouldn’t work. We had to look up power supply repair companies. In the end we just bought a new power supply, but we did have a bit of trouble finding the right power supply for our computer. What a pain!

So you can see why I worry about whatever electrical equiptment I’m using when a storm crops up can’t you?





Sometimes I think it would be nice to move to a warm climate

by

Living in a cool climate I suppose it’s not all that surprising that many of my fellow Canadians tend to either winter in or retire to warm climates such as Florida. I’m not old enough to retire, but I know in the cold dark days of winter I sometimes think about how nice it would be to live in an area that doesn’t have snow and ice.

If you’re thinking about moving to Florida you might want to visit the Broward county real estate website. The site has listings for several areas of Broward county. Houses and condos are available in a variety of price ranges to suit any budget.

If I were thinking of moving to Florida I think the Broward County area might be a nice place to settle. After all, there’s plenty of great places and things to do in Broward. One could visit Greater Fort Lauderdale, the Blue Wave Beaches, Hollywood Beach, several great golf courses, Butterfly World, Thoroughbred racing at Gulfstream Park and many other lovely areas and parks to visit. It sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

Visit the Broward County Real Estate website to learn more about their offerings.

Want to date a Geek?

by

Are you a geek or what some might consider a nerd? Have you had trouble finding a date using traditional big name dating services in the past? It’s no wonder if you have, as these sites don’t tend to match people by their interests or personalities as much as they do by looks.

Why don’t you visit Geek 2 Geek – Geek dating and give them a try?

At Geek 2 Geek you can list all of your interests and I mean all the ones that would be considered nerdy and that you’d likely not be able to select on a traditional dating site.

The creator of Geek 2 Geek, Spencer Koppel, started the service in 2004 when his daughter Laina was having trouble finding men with similar interests to date. Father and daughter created a set of profile questions that would be suitable for geeks. They also developed a scoring system that would match people according to what each person had listed as their most important dating criteria.

Geek 2 Geek has been making successful matches with their unique scoring system. Why not give them a try. You can sign up for a free account, create a profile and explore the features.

The Magnetic Diet – how to lose weight and keep it off

by

I was just reading The magnetic diet weight loss program website, and while I’m not really a dieter, I believe that the magnetic diet might actually work.

Nick Smith, the creator of the Magnetic Diet, had tried a number of different diets over the years. He’d tried everything from low carb to low calorie diets, detox diets, diet supplements and fat burners and while he had some success with the various diets and supplements he tried he found that he’d lost weight but not body fat and didn’t feel all that healthy after losing weight.

He also found that he still craved the foods that made him gain weight in the first place and quickly fell back into old habits that would cause him to regain the weight he’d lost quickly.

So he set out to create a diet that would help him maintain his weight loss, keep his body fat low and keep the cravings for bad foods, foods that cause weight gain, at bay.

The Magnetic Diet contains well balanced food items that will help you lose weight and keep you healthy at the same time, as well as a combination of special breathing and energization exercises, meditation, and visualization techniques that work together to help the body burn fat, build muscle and help you regain or restore your health.

It sounds like Nick did a lot of research and came up with a diet that works. He’s published a book that’s called the Magnetic Diet weight loss system which can be purchased on his website. He states that if after trying the diet for 12 weeks you are not completely satisfied with your results he’ll refund your money. With a guarantee like that it’s worth trying isn’t it?
