Love Hulu.com! 3 More Shows I Watch for FREE
So I was trying to figure out how to reduce the amount of money I spend on things I don’t need and the television came into play. I have so many stations to watch and really I only watch about 10 of them throughout the week. I am paying over $100 for this service that really isn’t all that spectacular. So why am I paying for this?
FREE TV FOR ALL
Since I am on the internet quite a bit and I have heard about watching TV online, I thought I would check it out. After a quick Google search and filtering through all the crap sites, I found Hulu. The website is exactly what I was looking for and had a bunch of shows that I like to watch. Family Guy, The Simpsons and The Office are 3 shows I like to watch as much as I can. All three of them are on the site. I just watched the newest episodes of each, for FREE, with FEW commercials.
It was FREE! How can you beat that? Granted I had to watch it on my computer, but who cares, I am on the thing most of the time anyways. Plus, I have a dual monitor setup so I can watch TV and still be doing other things online.
There are some options with TV’s these days that would even allow me to setup my computer to send the signal to my TV. Just like that I could watch my favorite episodes for FREE. The cable company wouldn’t know what hit them!
Dragon Naturally Speaking Software
Do you think you can type faster than speaking? I think that you cannot and I am willing to bet that you cannot type faster than Dragon Naturally Speaking software.
If you are up to the challenge, visit the website and take the typing challenge. It’s free and it takes about 45 seconds. I did the test and here are my results:
I thought 50 words per minute was pretty good, but according to the Dragon’s typing speed test! results, I can have my words per minute increased by 302%! That is just insane, but if you go to the website you will see it for yourself. I promise you will certainly think about using the latest version on your PC.
If you want to read more about it, there are Dragon Reviews available, which are very helpful when it comes to deciding what type of software is right for you.
If I could increase my words per minute by 300%, I would save so much time, plus managing all my blogs wouldn’t take hours each week to do. The software could really be the next big thing for bloggers. With Dragon Naturally Speaking you can type 6000 words per day and it really only comes out to 40 minutes of your time! We all know how valuable our time is…check it out for yourself!
Did You Watch the Debates?
I have a real hard time watching things like the presidential debate. I am not sure why, maybe it’s because I will NOT keep my attention on the event long enough for it to make any sense to me. I am also struggling to find the ONE thing that would make me vote and make me feel like my vote “counted”.
Do you know what I mean? Have you ever been in this situation? The country is in ruins and they both claim they can make “it work”, but I really haven’t seen anything remotely convincing.
I think I might have to take off the blinders and really give a listen to what they have to say, but at this point, I am not sure if I can choose the “right guy for the job”.
Are you having issues deciding who you are going to vote for?
Remember Zenni Optical? New Frames Are In!
Shopping online is huge, so huge that you can get just about anything online. Billions and billions of dollars are spent AND saved when you shop online. Why not spend and save a little when you have to buy glasses? I recently wondered what it would cost to purchase eyeglasses online and this is what I found.
ZenniOptical.com has stylish frames from $8! Yes I said, well typed, $8! I couldn’t believe it so I had to see it for myself. When I went to the website I was amazed at how easy it was to find something I liked, in my price range and with options that I wanted. Since there is no middleman that ZenniOptical deals with, your glasses are manufactured and sold directly to you at a great savings.
Clark Howard talks about ZenniOptical all the time on his consumer reports radio show. If you take a quick look online, you will also see many others like myself that have had a good experience with them and would recommend their fast service to friends and family.
You can get many options or you can stick with the basic. For the prices that I see on the website, you could get a stylish pair of frames and sunsensor lens for under $100! That is a deal that you can hardly beat. I have included a picture of frames I would purchase to give you an idea of how stylish their frames really are.
