Welcome

Welcome to my ever-evolving blog. It started out as a blog on Beachbody workouts and products, mainly when I was a Beachbody coach. I no longer coach, not because I don't believe in Beachbody's programs (I subscribe to Beachbody on Demand and use their workouts every day), I am just not a salesperson and hated that aspect of it. I am more than willing to answer questions about my experiences with their products and the various workouts, and I feel freer to do so without the appearance of giving a biased review of something.

I have also started adding reviews for various things I have purchased like movies, books, CDs, and other products. This was brought about by a fight with Amazon in which all of my reviews were removed over a completely bullshit allegation that I posted a review that violated their terms of service. After going back and forth with the morons in the community-reviews department (even after they admitted that my posts did not violate their guidelines) they restored my account (which took them six months to do), but I have been posting my reviews on my blog to have them preserved in case something like that happens again. And here, I will post uncensored reviews so I will swear from time to time and post reviews that may be longer than Amazon's character limit. Everything I post here on any topic or product is my personal opinion, and I take no compensation for any product reviews I post. I am a member of Amazon's vine program and because I get those products for free, I keep those reviews on Amazon only, but everything I have purchased with my own money, whether from Amazon or some other store/website/outlet, I will post here.  

I also plan to do some longer blog posts on various topics, such as how to learn physics, how to get through calculus, and longer reviews of workout programs as I do them. Basically, whatever strikes me as interesting at the time.  As you can see if you navigate around the blog, I had many years in between postings. During that time I was going back to school to get an engineering degree, and learning material that I avoided my first time through college was a different experience and one that gave me a lot of insight into how to do well in those classes, which I will try to impart here for those who are looking to get a science or engineering degree.

Product Review: Bagster

 


The main thing to keep in mind is that the $20 price is the price ONLY to purchase the bag. To have it removed you have to schedule a pickup (there is usually a 3-5 day window after you tell them what day it will be available to pick up that they will pick it up within; mine was picked up the day after I said it was available), and that will cost approximately $160. It is a great option if you are cleaning out junk from your house, or doing a room renovation. The bags hold up to 3500 lbs of material, which is a decent amount, but they do not hold a dumpster shape very easily, so it is easy to have stuff kind of spilling over the sides as you are filling it. So, it gets a bit hard to tell if it is too full.

The plus is that it is definitely more maneuverable (at least up to a point) than getting a dumpster dropped off (unless it is a smallish dumpster with wheels), and may (depending on how much junk you need to be removed) may be more cost-effective than a dumpster or a junk hauling service. The drawback is that it is easy to underestimate how much it will hold, and if you need more than a couple of them, then the cost-effectiveness disappears quickly.
