NOTE: This post is also being posted as a static page at http://surfindad.com/pc

Initially, this page started as a single source to download the software I recommend and use. The convenience of going to a single page when working on friend’s PC’s, or referring them to a single page, proves to be invaluable.

Over time, this page has grown into a one stop shop for putting together a top notch PC for less than $400, complete with anti-virus, online backup, and office software.

All of the below products (except Zonbu) I either currently use or have used in the past:

Guaranteed ways to get a traffic ticket from me

Posted on October 13th, 2007 in Police Officer by surfindad

There are some absolutely surefire ways to get a traffic citation from me. In fact, most of the offenses listed will net you more than one citation depending on the circumstance and your attitude.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I primarily cite people to correct behavior. Some behaviors are more serious and either affect, or have the potential to affect, more people or at a greater scale.

I’m not a good writer or comedian, I’m just a good first responder….

No, I don’t mean the typical first responder, I mean the type that responds first. But not to accident scenes or fires, just conversations about them. But not starting conversations about them, just responding. First. Grrr…, let me back up.

A lot of people have told me I’m funny. None of them have told me I’m hot, so I tend to believe they’re credible. I’m the funniest person they know, I have quick comebacks, I’m hilarious, etc. Most of the time it ends in the statement “You ought to be a stand up comedian” to which I immediately reply “that would never work.”

Before I started this blog I did several weeks of research as to the best tools to use, best place for hosting, how to monetize to offset costs, etc. Being a realist by nature, I set some aggressive yet realistic goals for my blog.

Now, thanks to some internet love and outstanding readers such as yourself , I have surpassed all of my 60 day goals on the 10th day anniversary of this blog. I am completely amazed at the fast growth of this blog and deeply appreciate those of you that read my blog.

Here are the goals I set for the 60 day mark:
