The Best In Social Media Web Sites
Being a blogger and a "Web Guy", I am always playing around on different social media web sites. Hardly a day goes by that I do not use the web sites found on this list below. Why? Because they bring people to the sites I promote and those people click on ads. In turn, In return, I get paid money and can keep doing what I love: Blogging. It's all one splendid circle.

5 Dangerous Gifts To Give Children This Holiday
One of the joys of not having children is that you get to spoil other people's kids. There is nothing more amusing as to listen to the child's squeal of joy and seeing their parent's face tighten up knowing that you probably just bought their child a ticket to the emergency room on December 26th. Seriously, you hope that the children will be all right, but that feeling of dread you just gave someone in your family just makes me chuckle. I think I got this dark humor from my grandfather who was notorious for knowing the gifts that I thought were awesome, but helped to push my parents over the brink. As I remember, he came back from Italy one year with a spiked ball-and-chain and a crossbow that actually shot steel tipped bolts. I think I was nine. My poor sister ended up in the emergency room with that power duo. I caught her in the shoulder with a back swing. Ahhh, the folly of youth... If you enjoy torturing your adult relatives, as I do, here is a list of Dangerous Gifts To Give Children in your family. Read more...

The Amazon Kindle Fire: The Christmas Gift For 2011
If you are looking to purchase a gift for that special someone this year, you might want to take a look at the Kindle Fire. The Amazon Kindle Fire is the newest edition to Amazon's Kindle line of e-readers, but this version breaks the boundaries of the reader and comes closer to being a tablet. This item just started shipping in mid-November and I am very impressed with the product for the price that Amazon is asking. In fact, for this price, you could buy two Kindle Fires for less money than the Black Friday prices on the X-Box Kinect Bundle and with this, your kids are guaranteed to learn something! With this new Kindle, you can still read books, but now you can also watch movies, play games, browse the internet, and check your email. What's best is that it allows your children (or yourself) to have an easy handheld device without breaking the bank! Kindle Fire starts at the low price of only $199.00. If you have any more questions why this tablet is the perfect Christmas present, look no further. Read more...

5 Reasons Why You Should See Captain America
I don't usually review movies on this blog, but I am going to make an exception in this case. Captain America: The First Avenger was released this week and it is a movie that no one should miss. It stars Chris Evans (who played the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies) and he does a wonderful job as America's first superhero. The movie is moving, good spirited, and has a fantastic plot. So get off your couch, grab the kids and take them to see this movie if you haven't seen it. If you have, I'd go to another showing to catch the parts you missed. Here are five reasons for you to go. (NO SPOILERS BELOW) Read more...
