I’m feeling a bit slow and sluggish this morning. Why? Charter Internet is rolling out :::drumroll::: Ultra60Mbps service.

I don’t know about you, but that is FAST. In fact it’s the fastest in the St. Louis market (where the initial rollout is) and it’s one of the fastest nationwide. It’ll be rolled out across the country (in Charter service areas) with other high-speed products over the course of the year.

Given the rise in social networking and multimedia – LIGHTS CAMERA SOUND ACTION VIDEO AUDIO GAMES TELECOMMUTING DOWNLOADS UPLOADS ANIMATION TV and all kinds of things – having high-speed internet is essential. Kayti’s complained ever since coming home that our connection is too slow for her – we might have to upgrade it! If you’re a hardcore gamer, you’ll love Phatband’s ability to download patches – it virtually eliminates lag in your games.

Get this – roll this around in your mind for a minute – this is what Charter says about the service: “Charter’s PhatBand has turned DSL into the new dial-up Internet service.” Did you ever think you’d see the day?

Be sure to check out the Ultra60 Information Page so you can see when it’s coming to your area (or, if you’re in St. Louis, to see how to sign up!) – I’m drooling and wishing I could get it when we move!

You should also sign up for Charter’s Twitter Feed as they’ve always got something cool to say.

If you’re looking for web hosting, check out Hosting Truth – but also be sure to look at http://webhostinggeeks.com, where you can compare various hosts and read reviews. Choose a web host based on what’s really important to you!

For example, some people are Really Really Picky about the data center that their web host uses. If you’d like some leeway to choose, you might want to check out Inmotion. If you never want to pay for another domain name, look at FatCow. If you want the best of the best, you can check out reviews – best ecommerce host, best email host, or if you’re looking to make a buck, best reseller hosting. They offer both CNET reviews/awards and customer reviews – if you’re a customer of any of these companies you can offer your ten cents worth on the site.

Webhostinggeeks also offers a number of helpful articles – like this one on using WordPress as a CMS (versus Joomla), and this very useful article on SEO/SEM that talks about the dangers of keyword stuffing while focusing on keyword density.

Another article of great relevance for many is about how to avoid the pitfalls of unlimited domains. A lot of plans let you have as many domains as you like, but restrict your bandwidth or storage space. If you’re like me and own a lot of domains, then each one nickle and dimes you until you’ve used a lot of space and bandwidth!

So, whether you’re looking to find a web host or you just want some useful articles about web sites, be sure to check out http://webhostinggeeks.com!

Did you know that you can buy Honda Radiators and other radiators for your car online? It’s easy with radiator.com. If your car needs a new radiator, the cheapest way to get out is to buy the part online and install it yourself. Second cheapest is to have someone install it for you.

In fact, if you do it yourself and upload the video to Youtube (have fun!) you can win prizes from radiator.com.

Some radiators have 1-year warrantees and others have lifetime warrantees – be sure to check which you are getting. If you have questions, be sure to check out the chat feature on the site.

Isaiah 1

I read Isaiah chapter 1 the other day and pondered its implications for our country. It seems fairly obvious to me that ????????? ????? wants to instill a culture of death and destruction in this country. But God has a lot to say about hands that shed innocent blood.

Did you know that we’re commanded to defend the fatherless? A common pro-murder argument is that “Babies shouldn’t have to grow up without a father in their lives” or “The father won’t help me.”

God says we’re supposed to defend the fatherless – not murder them!

I’ve been accused of getting a bit emotional about the abortion issue. Have you ever seen an abortion performed? I don’t know about you, but seeing little children being poisoned and hacked to pieces makes me ANGRY.

Mega Brands Kids Zone

MEGA Brands Kids Zone is a cool place. They’re offering FREE videos, FREE contests, FREE wallpapers and other cool stuff, and FREE games. Most of it’s of interest to children, but hey – grownups can play the games too!

Mega Brands has a great promise to parents – they’re parents too, first and foremost. Although the games do seem to have some violence (how many video games don’t?) they’re creative and based on popular themes like Pirates and PlasmaVerse (think Transformers or Battletech meets Dinos and Dragons…) The games, of course, promote Mega Brands products (offline play toys) – which is a pretty good marketing tool. Having looked at the online games, I can see how the two would interact and be a good match – how many internet games would promote and teach kids to play OFF-line? Yet I think they’ve managed that.

One thing I REALLY like about Mega Brands Kids Zone is that they do not request ANY kind of personal information from your child in order for them to play the games. There’s been so many “issues” in the news of kids being targeted by predators online because they put too much personal information in their profiles or because they’re interacting with others online – at this site, there’s no information, no profile, and no interaction – just fun!

Kay Sharpe


I'm a laid-down lover of Jesus Christ. I write about my King and His Kingdom, the Bible, revival, healing, prophecy, faith, and more... plus I throw in recipes, tips, news and politics items, reviews, and all sorts of random things just for fun. Until recently, I was known as "Kathi"... but my name is now Kay. It's a good, God thing... :) The opinions expressed in this blog are mine and mine only - not necessarily shared by my husband, our church, my employers, or anyone else.
