Ordering & Building a Swing Set from Walmart.com

We recently bought a new home with a big backyard for our “busy” son to have more room to wear himself out.  Here in Las Vegas, most backyards are quite small. We actually had to move out of Summerlin to be able to afford a bigger house with a sizeable backyard (a post I need […]

D-Link: Certificate Has Been Revoked - Java Video Viewer Not Working

A while back, I posted a How-To / Review on my D-Link DCS-5020L IP Camera, which I set up as a baby monitor. I primarily view the camera on my iPhone using a free IP camera app I found, but sometimes try to view the camera from my laptop as I work in my office. […]

Learning to negotiate with a builder on a newly built home in Las Vegas

My wife and I signed to buy a house 12 hours ago and I’m wide awake at 3:30am tossing and turning not with buyers remorse but with negotiators remorse. I say that because I learned a ton doing this transaction that I wish I had known before our negotiation yesterday, and though I got a pretty […]

How to get Sirius/XM Satellite Radio for under $5/month

I have been a Sirius/XM customer since I purchased my Hyundai Santa Fe over 3 years ago.  With the purchase of the car, I was given a free trial of XM (they hadn't merged yet). I don't remember how long the free trial was for, but when it ended I was to start paying whatever […]
