Gas Grills, which Gas Grill should I get? Weber?

It’s only February but I’m already thinking of the summer. Outdoor cooking is a past-time close to most men’s hearts.

The question is, which gas grill should I buy? Obviously I’m looking to cook huge pieces of meat so need a large grilling area. I also don’t want to spend months cleaning the grill after I’ve finished using it.

The Value of a Yahoo Submission

For as long as I can remember there has been a debate on the value of directory submissions, and while I tend to agree that the value of a link from most directories is very low, there are a few that you should have in your link profile.

Unfortunately for the paying customer, these are pretty much at the premium end of the directory scale, and therefore hit the wallet hardest. In this list I would include BOTW, Business, GoGuides and Yahoo. Why do I think they’re important? Well mostly for the trust I believe that Google has in these sites, and therefore a link from them to your site flows a little trust as well.

I’ve recently submitted a site to the Yahoo directory, and they created a new category for it that is currently un-cached..

When a pregnant lady goes swimming she has a few options. There is the full suit, bikini or maternity tankini.

Cross Trainers

I bought a treadmill a few months ago, and whilst that was great it’s playing havoc on my knees. I got around this be shelling more money out and buying a cross trainer. These little devices allow you to exercise in a sort of skiing motion so instead of banging your legs against a running deck, you use the cross trainers elliptical motion.

More commonly known as elliptical machines in the USA.

Holiday time. Where should I go?

I’ve got a couple of options for my holiday this year. It’s either the Lake District, and for this I’m considering renting a Lake District Cottage in the national park. The other option is going to Orlando, Florida. The thing is the Orlando Tickets really sting cost-wise. Also, Florida is a bit steamy for me this time of year. So, I think it might be Granada in Spain. Fancy a bit of hill walking so that’ll be good.

Work at a desk all day? Needed exercise… Got a treadmill.

Like millions of people I’m an office employee and site builder in my spare time. Sometimes an outdoor job really appeals (for the one week a year summer we seem to get, but don’t get me wrong I’d rather be indoors most of the year.

The problem is, I got stuck in a rut. Work ties you up sometimes and quite often I don’t even drag myself away for fifteen minutes. So at the start of the year I decided to do a bit of exercise. I’m not the “going to the gym” type, so thought I’d get fit at home. So I got myself a treadmill. In the past I’ve owned other exercise equipment such as exercise bikes and those air-walker thingys. I’ve used all these for a week or two and given up. Funny thing is, I’m quite enjoying the treadmill. It took me a while to get into it, now I don’t mind as much and I can feel it’s actually making a difference to my health.

If you’re interested, I got myself a Reebok I-Run treadmill.

Valuation of Domain Names

I’ve become a little hooked on collecting domain names. I’ve find myself trawling around the likes of Sedo and Buydomains for my domains. What I’ve generally found is that the sellers price expectation never comes anywhere near mine.

Recently I’ve purchased a domain to develop a site about Wireless Routers. I’ll admit this was a bit of an impulse buy, as I only purchased it as it was at auction and to be honest I think the male machismo took over… I needed to win it.
