The Name Game

After being endlessly mocked for having a Yahoo email account,  I finally caved and decided to get a professional sounding Gmail address. People kept asking my how Friendster was treating me or if my Prodigy browser ever gave me any trouble.  But unlike most people who do some combination of

Shows You Should Be Watching: Archer

Turns out not just broke-ass people are forgoing cable TV for the web. Thanks to sites like Hulu and channels streaming their own shows, why deal with commercials and TV schedules when you can just watch for free on your own time. I’m not going to get into specifics on
