Sweet Laptop Cooling Mat



When you're sitting down, and about to do a drop in either PS2 or MWO (or WoW, or whatever game you play) on your high powered gaming laptop,  you don't want your balls roasting off.  You need these.  

So instead of saying "AW MY BALLS ARE ON FIRE!!!" you can be all like "Woah...that's cool..now I'm gonna pwn some n00bs" as you fire up the next match.

Enough with the humor.  Time to get super serious.  See, over time, increased heat can ruin your laptop's battery and CPU life.  If you have inadequate air circulation around your intakes (and face it on most laptops the intakes are on the bottom) you start to roast your laptop.  That is NOT good.  I did that to mine. It's a PITA to crack open and fix too.  I got one of these and I haven't had another overheat (after I re-applied the thermal grease to the heat sink..it was like baked clay I tell you..ugh)  

Anyway here's all the technical stuff from the manufacturer's website.  If it's tl;dr and you still want it, scroll down, read the loud red text, and push the "Buy Now" button.

Hey everyone!  How's life going in the Blogosphere?

Life here isn't too shabby.  I'm still cooking stuff, (Given because if I didn't my family wouldn't eat, well at least anything more than frozen nuggets tossed in the oven and spaghetti...)

It was my birthday two days ago and my husband took us to Halifax for some awesome wining and dining and Discovery Center goodness.  Kids had a blast, I had the most epic Shwarma and burger you could ever have.  Venus Pizza right down town Halifax, had the shwarma. It was so good.  They loaded it up with pickles and turnips.  For the epic burger and poutine, it was Cheese Curds in Dartmouth.  I had their Honolulu burger and a small poutine.  I was DEFEATED...but man it was so good...the bacon, the beef...Oh man...delish!!!

My mom got me a mandoline and a funky herb slicer for my birthday.  I was happy.

Since times are tight *my birthday fell on the day our tax return came in so shush*  I've taken to selling some things on Ebay.  You can check out my listings here.  I'll just be slowly adding stuff over the next few days, so if you see it and like it,  grab it!

Also,  here's a way for you to get some cash too  SFI Affiliate Program. Make money from home! 

So yeah,  I had a great birthday.  Only thing I could have gotten that would have made it even better is a job. (sigh)  Oh well.  It should happen eventually.

Making money online

Yes!  It's possible.  It's a slow process though.  Things have been pretty tight here, so I've been trying my hand at making money online...mostly through paid surveys and Pay To Click sites.  It's a little something anyway, I figure I'll share what I've been doing, that way you guys can make a few bucks as well.

First is a couple of paid to click sites.

This first one is Clixsense.com  It's pretty good.  Pays you to click ads, and to do little random tasks.  You can easily make $30/day if you buckle down and do every task and offer provided.  They pay out through paypal so it's all good.
Clixsense.com


Next is NeoBux.  It's been around for a while, and like Clixsense.com it pays you to click and look at ads, and do little random tasks as well.
Neobux

Rapidworkers is a place where you can sign up, do little odd jobs, and get paid for doing.  Some of these jobs are putting links on your blog/page, or doing surveys, stuff like that...No affiliate link, I won't get a kickback if you sign up.
http://rapidworkers.com/

That's my Odesk profile.  You join up Odesk, and do their little tests, and then you apply for contract jobs, do the jobs, and voila you get paid.  Or you can hire me through odesk to do your random crap.  It's up to you.  Heh.  Anyway it's legit.  They have an escrow type service so you'll get paid no matter what.  Free to sign up so what the heck.  In this market, it's worth a go.
https://www.odesk.com/users/~01e0e3f2c58c9b05c4

SFI Marketing is a great program, too btw.  Sign up for top-rated Affiliate Program with SFI Marketing Group (SFI). Join millions of SFI affiliates worldwide! FREE sign-up at: www.sfi4.com/12412401/FREE

For the paid surveys, they'll only let me send referrals through email, so if you want a referral to the paid surveys,  hit me up at littledinobug@gmail.com and I'll send you invitations to some Pay To Take Survey sites.  They're legit sites, like Angus Reid, and Harris Poll...so at least you aren't gonna be doing anything scammy.  Or you can head on over to this link:  Get Paid to take surveys from home. and get started through them.

So yeah,  Give it a shot...can't hurt?

The Secret World Review

Hey all, I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything. I've been playing The Secret World, and Mech Warrior Online, since City of Heroes went down.

I'll post what I think about TSW.  It's a great game.  The story is epic and far reaching, and very well written.  This isn't a game that you want to power through though, I feel like it's something that you should take your time and savour.  There are puzzles however, some of which are pretty damn hard.  Like so hard to the point that you want to punch your monitor.  Luckily there are guides out there to help you out.  I'll post a link to such a guide down the page.

Back to the review.  The Secret World lends itself well to both solo play, and team play.  The environment is very well done, there are a huge variety of quests, from action, where you just shoot or slash things, sabotage, where you have to sneak through, and then the investigation missions,  those are really awesome, and also pit your wits against the game.  (sometimes you need help with these)

Combat, can be sketchy.  I love the active dodge, but the repetitive 1-2-1-2-3-4 combination gets kinda old after a while.

Build wise, you don't NEED an alt.  You can literally use everything in the game. Just need to build up your skill wheel.  They use AP and SP to build skills up.  Rather intuitive.

Dungeons are challenging, as well.

The only problem I have with this game is it's gear based like most MMO's  (except COH)  So when you get through the story, you get to the end of game gear grind again.

FunCom does release regular content updates as well, so you're not totally lost without new stories for too terribly long, so if you're not into the grind then you don't have to.

The best thing is, It has NO subscription.  You buy the box, and that's it.  Kinda like Guildwars.  (but not NCsoft)  Sure it's "Ermahgerd EA lol"  (especially after that SimCity fiasco)  but Funcom is a good studio to support IMO.

So yeah if you are playing TSW,  and need a little boost, you can click on this link Click here for a guide on The Secret World, walkthrough and PVP strats and more.

So yeah!  It's really not that bad of a game.  I enjoy it tremendously.  You can find me as LacusMortius over on Leviathan server.

Good bye old friend

Last night was the very last night of City of Heroes.  I missed the grand finale because I needed to be up today to get my daughter to her Lego Robot competition.  As always, my friends were disappointed, but, understanding, when I couldn't show up for something.  That was the most awesome thing about this community.  If you couldn't make something due to life, they understood and didn't guilt you.  They might have joshed around with you a bit, but they did understand.

I'm going to miss the game.  I didn't play much after the Extra Life thing, and I know that. I do regret it, but I just couldn't bring myself to visit my dying friend.  I said my goodbyes last night in my own way.  I hate goodbyes.  I hate repeats.

I have faith that whatever Titan Network has planned as a spiritual successor, will be absolutely beautiful, or, if Disney does manage to pry the IP out of NCsoft's cold greedy soulless hands, then I hope my characters will be restored.  If not, I have them committed to memory.

Kahlan Raynes.  My Elec/Kinetic Corruptor.  Married in game to my husband's Mercs/FF MM Alpha-One/Alec Raynes.

Gabriella Di Inferno  My Mace/Elec brute.  The Rikti Destroying Machine.  Jawbreaker looks like she's smashing nads since she's tiny.

Sharp Pointy Stik.  My Arch/TA Corr.  Ran an All TA ITF spearheaded by her, and we won.

o.0  My bane.

I didn't screenie all of them..I should have but I guess I didn't. One other stupid thing I guess..wishful thinking? I dunno.  I was just really attached to Kahlan though

Oh Rogue Ivy, my plant/thorn Dom.  My flagship Villain.

Terrana Nightside, my Emp-Psi defender...another flagship homage since both my flagship toons were on my husbands account.

Sybil Nightside, my first ever 50, when I shared my husbands account.

The role call is long...and sad...all those "lives" snuffed out with a careless flick of a switch.
