27 August, 2006 (23:42) | General | By: Bryce Boe

Edit 2009-11-10: priceTrackr is back! Follow-up post to come soon. Edit 2009-09-16: I still notice quite a bit of traffic from digg to here which I appreciate. Before you go on your please note that priceTrackr has been down for quite some time as I haven’t been motivated to shell out a few extra bucks [...]

Just A Quickie

26 August, 2006 (21:57) | General | By: Bryce Boe

I was looking at the google analytics results for bryceboe.com and discovered that I had a visitor from google for the search “snakes on a plane fake boobs” which immediately sparked my interest. I too performed the search and to my amazement as of 9:52 PM PST today I am result number two for this [...]

Move Over! Avoid Passing on the Right

22 August, 2006 (00:14) | General | By: Bryce Boe

I took a drive down to Ventura with my girlfriend Monica this weekend and I must say that some people need to learn some common courtesy driving rules. Mainly moving to a right lane if someone is approaching from the rear so as to avoid the dangerous passing on the right move. This driver that [...]

Snakes On A Plane! Part Deux

18 August, 2006 (03:31) | General | By: Bryce Boe

First I have to say Adam beat me to the post with his Snakes On A Plane review as I was fiddling around with some other stuff which I will explain in a moment. The movie pre party entailed Adam and Scott getting home with Demarco and immediately shouting “Snakes on a Plane, let’s go!” [...]

Snakes On A Plane!

If you haven’t heard about Snakes On A Plane go educate yourself: Official IMDB Wikipedia With that out of the way I’m going to go see this mother f***ing movie about mother f***ing snakes on a mother f***ing plane TONIGHT! If you’re wondering why I keep using the phrase “mother f***ing” see this clip from [...]

A Little Time for BryceBoe.com

16 August, 2006 (01:21) | General | By: Bryce Boe

My time recently has been filled with trying to complete priceTrackr so that I can go live with the service. I’ve sacrificed reading for my history class and even taken shorter hours at my day job so that I can work exclusively on priceTrackr. Truth be told I probably wouldn’t have done the reading and [...]

Core 2 Duo Prices Drop

15 August, 2006 (03:45) | General | By: Bryce Boe

While updating priceTrackr tonight I noticed that newegg has dropped their prices for the Intel Core 2 Duo series processors. I think I’ll still wait awhile before I make my next upgrade. The changes are as follows: X6800 dropped $105.01 – now $1149.99 E6700 dropped $99.01 – now $599.99 E6600 dropped $89.01 – now $369.99 [...]

priceTrackr

7 August, 2006 (19:05) | General | By: Bryce Boe

Thanks to Adam Nelson’s suggestion I registered www.pricetrackr.com thus pushing thepricetracker.com on the web2.0 bandwagon. With that being said I’m continuing to work on priceTrackr’s features while it continues to collect data. I’m shooting for August 21st as the go public date which hopefully will be sooner. Until priceTrackr goes public its features will go [...]
