Blippy is a website where people obsessively review everything they buy.

Wikinvest Portfolio Manager App
Well, is this good in the sense that it encourages obsessively checking your stocks many times a day?
Generic USB2NDGEN
Great price and seems to do the trick.

Key Ring Reward Cards App
Great idea, though sometimes UPC readers have a tough time catching the codes.
Amtrak
I rode this from Altoona, PA to San Francisco. 2,500+ miles in 3 days.
jhicks Sleeper cars are for Captains of Industry. As my monocle and top hat were at the cleaner's, I rode coach with the hoi polloi.
girlfriday @jhicks LOL -- glad you made it safe and sound!!!
beverlynoelle How was it? Did it feel like it took fooooooreeeever?
jhicks It does inflict a different mindset about time, space, and destinations. Then some dudes got thrown off in Colorado for smoking weed. The cops were waiting for them.
impulsebuyer Whoa not cool man. Colorado has some of the harshest laws against that right? Ouch.
jhicks Agreed. I felt that smoking of any kind on a closed-air train was probably a good way to get in trouble. There are other delivery methods, guys.
NCAA® March Madness® On Demand App
Works pretty well, actually. Now I don't have to sit in my basement office watching the games as the fluorescent lights bleach my skin. I can go "outside."

Some lag problems, though, including showing the score up to a minute ahead of the video.
Pandora Radio App
Tuning to the Guns 'N Roses channel plays "Patience" right away. It's like you're in my head, Pandora!
IMDb Movies & TV App
Handy for when you're watching I Spit on Your Grave and wondering who to blame.
· app from iTunes
MizzBlaze You watched the new I Spit on Your Grave? How was it?
jhicks Literally awful.
girlfriday Oh no.. that much worse than the original?
jhicks ...yes. Though I suppose that's like asking, "Which of these two terminal diseases is worse?"
MizzBlaze Lol. I will be sure to stay away from that movie now. Thanks
Are You Watching This?! App
If I'd checked this LIKE I SHOULD HAVE, I wouldn't have missed that epic Duke-Virginia Tech game. Now I can blame only myself.
Mobile Mouse Pro (Remote / Trackpad) App
I got this for free and it works quite well operating my computer from 5-6 feet away. That is as far as I've gone, because I am the Internet.
dive_philospher laziness to the next level, props to you man
PBS App
Good for keeping up with the elite liberal media funded by my hard-earned taxpayer dollars. I bet it's free because I already paid for it.
Google Voice App
The voice of Google is the voice of the Delphic oracle: inscrutable, shamanistic, and powered by laughing gas.
Google Mobile App
What?! Google on my PHONE?! Where are my wraparound shades because I am living in the FUTURE!

Patriot Xporter XT Boost 8GB Flash Drive (USB 2.0 Portable) Model PEF8GUSB
Didn't I already review this? It remains a comforting rubberized presence in my pocket. Sometimes I touch it and make an off-putting "boinnnnnnnng" sound.

Who wouldn't want to treat yourself to these after a hard day of staring out the window and pondering the possible existence of your "soulmate"? It's almost worth it to deal with FTD's "hilarious" price shennanigans! You know what I mean, FTD. The internet is onto your "use this coupon for x% off the flowers whose price we jacked up by x%" game. How do you sleep at night? On a bed made of cash and tears?
Patriot Xporter XT Boost 8GB Flash Drive (USB 2.0 Portable) Model PEF8GUSB
Fast and featuring a durable rubber shell, just like all my favorite girlfriends!

Verbatim 4.7GB 16X DVD-R 100 Packs Cake Box Disc Model 95102
No, but for reals, these are DVD-Rs that you could buy. I have burned several and they are not a figment of my imagination...THAT I CAN PROVE.

Verbatim 4.7GB 16X DVD-R 100 Packs Cake Box Disc Model 95102
I'm a big fan of the cake box. And these DVD-Rs do exist. That's a story in and of itself, right? So maybe I don't know, you should consider buying them?

Trailer Park Boys live! I do recommend this

beverlynoelle Wait, I have heard of this! I remember my friend Jamie loved it :) I like all kinds of comedy and I think the show is on Netflix so I'll have to check it out!
jhicks Ok, good! Not everyone likes it, but cool people do! If it's not streamable on Netflix, there are...other...ways of watching it. (Of course you already knew that.) I expect a full report.
amyuhrich I love that they went on tour. I'm totally going to start recommending this to people. Revival!
chrismolnar @gkruis loves this stuff!
gkruis My all-time favorite comedy. Also, @heiditron you just quoted a gin blossom lyric... high-five!
amyuhrich Poor Gin Blossoms. They played a free outdoor street concert in Pittsburgh a couple summers ago, which I attended. I think half the people there didn't know who they were.

Well, this seems to work. So I reckon that's good. I look forward to watching my life vanish into it.
