Things That Have Helped Me
Accept that you’re not perfect. Your mom wasn’t. Though you’ll most likely be a better mother than she was in many ways, you won’t be perfect either. The most important thing is that you love your child as much as you possibly can and make it impossible for anyone to ever question that love.

I use a couple kinds of cloth diapers. To be honest, there a few types I don’t really understand, myself, but I can share what I know and what works for us. First, I have a friend who uses cloth diapers (a couple friends actually!) and she introduced me to these totally cute diapers: www.cutest-cloth-diapers.com. [...]
With our new daughter on the way (back in 8/2003) my wife was debating between using cloth and disposable diapers. My wife liked all the pro’s of helping the environment, saving money, and the health benefits to our baby.
I was ready to fully support my wife in her decision, but I wasn’t convinced that cloth [...]
My husband loves LEDs (light emitting diodes) and puts them into everything. He likes that they are so efficient and don’t burn out.
He modified a tap light and changed out the regular bulb for an LED. It has been perfect for middle of the night feedings and diaper changes. What I love is that the [...]

Our VTech 900 mhz cordless / portable phone started having a hard time keeping a charge so off we went to Radio Shack for a new battery pack… “WHAT?!?!? $16.00… that’s about how much we paid for the phone! Thanks but no thanks!”

The advertising demographic of my site www.reviewum.com is very geographically and age targeted: College Students
I attempted to contact local business’s regarding advertising a while ago when my site was much smaller, and the reception wasn’t so good. It seems that many brick & mortar / mom-pop shop businesses are afraid [...]
Last night my wife came to me with the age old question, “Do you have a good battery for this?“
I didn’t have an answer. I knew I had a box of batteries, but were any of them “good”? I don’t have a battery tester in the house, but from my past experience I knew that [...]
(Winner…. The 2001 Hyundai Elantra GT)
As many of my friends know, I’m pretty frugal. I will admit that I am 95% value driven in 90% of my purchases. This is why it is a big surprise that I bought something I thought I’d never buy… a NEW car.
We needed to get a car to replace [...]

The largest characteristic of the software industry that allowed Microsoft the opportunity to become monopolistic was the way that “standards” are introduced and used. Once any piece of software becomes the industry standard, it becomes poised to dominate the market. Examples: Microsoft, Netscape, hypertext transfer protocol (http), etc. Microsoft had an even better position because [...]
