Label Stock - SP
I have pretty much no idea what Thermal labels are, so I guess it's time for some brief research.
Ok as far as I can gather they're stickers that come out of a label maker machine which transfers an image onto the material using a ribbon, I guess like a typewriter. There also seems to be multiple stock materials, the main two seem to be paper and synthetic, both with different levels of durability.
On another note, I learned that it's not "make ends meat" rather it's "make ends meet"
Certainly makes more sense.

Treatment - SP
I really don;t know what to say about pharmaceutical companies, a simple course of antibiotics can relieve so much pain, eye drops can make people see again.
The problem I see is that just like water and regular meals, every one needs them and what better position than to profit from it.
Surely there's companies out there with peoples best interests as their core, there's got to be right?
Well, when the fight against HIV/Aids is quite a battle, it can't all be about profit can it?

Paranormal Activities Features
I'm starting to get a little confused, I'm adding new features to Paranormal Activities everyday, but I've calmed down a bit and I think it's time to review.
First off the homepage, first thing you'll probably see is the features gallery, it looks like a slide show, this is for blog posts that I feel need a little extra attention. Then we have the blog excerpts, quick snippets from blog posts along with thumbnails for easy browsing, click on through to read the rest or watch the videos, the rest should be pretty self explanatory.
Next is the image gallery, makes things easy and pretty and I'm looking forward to adding to it and playing around.
Lastly is the paranormal directory, located through the nav-bar link "links". I was going to use a blogroll on a page, but I found a pretty powerful wordpress plugin that makes it easy to create and maintain a directory.
It's fully automated, there's a drop down form where you can add your links, it has categories and for me is far more exciting than a blogroll. If you have a paranormal blog or site please feel free to add it to the directory.
Well that kind of helped, I still feel a little lost in the options, but hey I'm gonna let it settle in for a few days and work on getting some blog posts out.
See ya at Paranormal Activities,
Rand

Micro Cards - SP
I think my computer takes these micro sd cards, I don't have one myself but I have plenty of other makes, it just so convenient having a card for my camera with big space that I don't have to worry about storage when I go on vacation, just my camera, pull it out and snap away, I have really good batteries to.
The sad thing about all this digital storage is that sooner or later film will become a specialty item.

Wine Refrigerators - SP
It's the same every year, every winter the media goes crazy over New Zealands energy crisis, it's the same with news fluff about whether coffee is good or bad for us, ever 6 dang months.
The latest media rush is for NZ to get rid of their old beer refrigerators, I guess that's a good thing really, why not replace them with wine refrigerators, I could fit a fair few crate bottle in one of these.

Introducing the new site
In my last post I asked if I should share the new site with everyone, well I got a comment that clinched it, I'd never looked at it the way the commentator put it "Let us in now...it's kind of cool to see a new site from the beginning. :)".
I've been very stand offish with my blogging, I've never gotten out of the mindset of being a blogger that no one reads, I never really ask for help and most of the time I feel I inconvenience people, I don't know.
Anyway I think it's time to let some of that go, time to move forward and time to let you fellas have a say.
I'd like to introduce everyone to Paranormal Activities, the unfinished paranormal site that's fully operational, well for blogging anyway.
As it stands it's a blank canvas that I hope will form with the input of it's visitors. There's so much that could be added to it, the only thing is I don't know what y'all will find useful, so we'll start here and see what happens.
So please visit, leave a comment and tell me what y'all think. It's been a lonely few weeks that's for sure.

Do you guys want to see the new site?
So basically I think the new site is ready, minimal at the moment but ready for posts, I still need to do some drawings for the design of the site and also have to add a lot of content.
I could probably tinker with the site for months before it's properly finished, but man that's just to long to wait, but then again, maybe I should hold back. So should I share the new site or hold off until it's a little more complete.

More Memory - SP
I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you want to play the latest PC game you'll need a lot of system memory for your computer.
Even if you want to work faster on your computer more memory will help. Now I don't have heaps of RAM on my computer, but it is still very fast, in fact a couple days ago a friend was using it and they were amazed just how fast it was.
I don't know, I think it may be time to get off of this gravy train, I'm starting to sound like an ad.

Ipods - SP
My brother has one of those video ipods, it was actually mine but I didn't use it so I gave it to him.
It was pretty nifty, dump my music on it along with home movies and videos, but really, my cell phone does just as good a job. These days it seems I'm getting overloaded with gadgets, so I think I'll wait for a gadget that has it all with a very long life.

Update new site
Just a quick update on the new site, every thing's coming together nicely but the little tweaks are taking awhile to get right, though it shouldn't take to long.
Once the sites ready there'll be a bunch of posts and content for everyone to explore.

Anoretix - SP
Anoretix is a weight lose solution, who would have thought. I like the name, sounds like something from a sci-fi movie. I have no idea about the claim made on the page, seems almost to good to be true.
Though I guess along with regular exercise it may work, though exercise would probably work anyway.

RAM -SP
If you want to play the latest PC games one thing you'll need is memory, decent RAM. I've got a pretty basic computer myself, with no graphics card, games come out looking pretty bad, though at least I have decent RAM and most games run smooth.
I think for my next computer I'll get a beast, I missing wasting all that time playing computer games.
