GTA IV - A True Blue Review

I play games. I mean a festival of games. As in I have repeatedly ditched a social life all together for video games. The latest installment of Grand Theft Auto IV has kept me that much more isolated with society. You play as Niko Bellic, A rugged war-stained soldier looking to run away from his problems in Europe and make a new life in Liberty City and meet with his cousin Roman living there. Murder, drugs, and disease ridden hookers/girlfriends ensue.

CyberPower CP1285AVRLCD UPS

A few months ago I decided to pick up a the CyperPower CP1285AVRLCD Uninterruptible power supply. Living in the city we do have the occasional brownout. The other day I was siting at my desk pulling an all niter when the power had gone out for 45 minutes. The CyberPower CP1285AVRLCD didn’t hiccup once. Every 2 minutes the unit would beep a pleasant tone letting you know it has lost power.

The LCD display clearly stated I would 45+ minutes of auxiliary power to run my devices. (20 inch iMac, 22 inch LCD display, 2 USB external hard drives, Mixing Desk with firewire audio device, Blue Snowball microphone, iPhone, Cable Modem, Linksys switch, and my old PC running Smoothwall as the router.)

I am extremely happy with this device and would recommend it to anyone.

The Belkin Upright Compact Surge Protector

The Belkin Compact Surge Protector with Upright configuration is a great way to finally take control over your surge/wiring configurations under your desk. If your work desk looks anything like mine, you might find multiple monitors, several desktops, macbook pro, printers, router, wireless phone, ipod, podcasting equipment, lamps, dvd player, cable box, lcd television, and more. This amount of equipment yields a very messy grouping of various sized power cords, large adapters, small adapters and more. Even if you just have several of these items on your work desk, you can also benefit from this awesome surge protector solution.Our most valuable commodity in our home offices or work offices is space. It seems that we are a society that is unable to live in simplicity because of our dependency upon technology. Ok, so we accept that - let’s move on. So, let’s get our offices under control. Let’s ensure that we have a safe working environment - especially if you have small children or pets (as seen in my video - Buster, my English Bulldog lives under my office desk) Let’s remove the presence of stress in our workspace by having a tidy power cord solution.Here is the answer to your surge nightmares: BELKIN COMPACT SURGE

This surge protector has the following:
- 8 power outlets
- 6 foot power cord
- 3195 joules of surge protection

This surge protector is very unique in its configuration. Four power outlets are found on the top of the surge to accommodate your standard plug and four power outlets are found near the base on the side of this upright, skinny surge to accommodate power adapters. I picked up several of these to use in both of my offices and in other areas of my home.
