USB bluetooth adapter from china

May 14th, 2009 No comments

I’m crossing my fingers! I just purchased a USB bluetooth adapter off of ebay for 3 bucks (with free shipping). Yes, it’s shipping from china and it’ll take approximately two weeks to get here but still, it’s 3 bucks. After browsing at different brands on newegg which averaged about $20 with shipping costs, I thought I’d take a chance with ebay. I only need the adapter to transfer customized ringtones onto my cell phone. apparently the service provider locks all their phones so that they can charge $2 to $3 for a crummy ringtone. But after investigating different user forums, I’ve found that transferring mp3 files via bluetooth can bypass it all. I’ll probably post a how-to once I verify that it works on my phone. I’m just wondering how these folks on ebay can make any money by charging three bucks for these adapters? I checked the feedback on this particular seller and he had over 99% positives. So we’ll see how it goes. I’m just hankerin’ to put some customized mp3 ringtones on my phone so that I won’t have to hear the default ringers everytime the phone goes off!

current food obsessions

May 1st, 2009 1 comment

I know I SHOULD be eating a more healthy diet especially now that I’m hitting forty but it’s tough. I recently discovered a fairly new Five Guys Burgers located near my house. Oh man, I love their burgers. They’re a bit more expensive than your regular ol’ burger joints but good lord, their burgers are worth it. I’m salivating now just thinking about them. Another place that I’m currently into is Qdoba Mexican Grill. There are ton of similar mexican burrito joints around town but Qdoba tastes so much better than their competition. It’s a bit out of the way relative to where I live but “good eats” is “good eats”. Too bad I isn’t some sort of health food joint that I’m craving for…
