This is what makes The Office, Special.

It's not very often that I get fully engrossed in a TV show, but since the first episode of The Office I have been hooked. I have watched one of my favorite TV relationships start as friends and work their way up to this episode where they finally tie the knot. Once again The Office shows why it is the best comedy on TV right now because it once again mixed comedy with reality and it was just a fantastic episode.

Office Space is a Great Movie

I had never seen the movie Office Space up until a few months ago, and I probably wouldn't have connected with the movie had I seen it before I got a full time job. Although its a bit over the top in its delivery the underlying message of making fun of the daily grind is sure to make any full time worker crack up. So I decided I should really post some of my favorite clips from the movie.

Jenn and I Are Both Got iPhone 3GS's

Over the past few years Jenn and I have become bigger and bigger fans of Apple products. For both of us it started with iPods, then we both went to Macbooks, and then I went to an iPhone. Because Jenn and I wanted to join a family plan and at the time we were in part time work, we decided to go with a budget Verizon Wireless plan. It worked fine, except for the fact that Jenn went through two phones, outside of that everything was ok. But then there came a time where I wanted to go back to an iPhone and Jenn started to have the craving for one from all of the commercials advertising all of the apps on the iTunes store. Once I walked her through some of the apps on iTunes we were sold on going back and getting some iPhones.

Taking Some Photos With My New Canon Rebel XS

One of the things on my to do list for 2009 was to go out and by a DSLR. Jenn and I have both been wanting one for our Honeymoon in Scotland. We loved our pictures in Europe last year and thought we better get a nicer camera to even better capture the big upcoming events in our lives. We originally were going to go with the Nikon D60 but after checking out so many different reviews we sided with the Canon Rebel XS. We got a great deal on Amazon and got it a day and a half after we purchased it which was great.

My Top 5 Favorite TV Shows of the 2008-2009 Season

Well the TV season is officially winding down, and I found myself really changing my viewing habits this year. No longer running any TV blogs like I had in the past, and having a more steady schedule has made it easier to watch shows that I wanted to watch. Once again I saw shows I enjoy get cancelled (Life on Mars), and other shows continue to thrive that I have very little interest in watching (American Idol). Regardless here are my Top 5 TV series of the 2008-2009 season.

Finding Out How Well I Use My Netflix Account

Today I was doing some surfing and I was reading some articles on Netflix's plan to raise their rates on Bluray subscribers. So one article pointed me to FeedFlix.com, a site that tells you how well you are using Netflix, and what value you get out of it. I am currently on the one at a time service which is $8.99 plus $1 for the right to rent Bluray movies. That rate will go up by a $1 next month which is kind of a bummer but then again I wouldn't even dare think about closing my account.
