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: Gain Dryer Sheets

 


These have a great scent, and it is very nice to have as a subscribe and save item on Amazon so you do not have to remember to buy them as you are running out. Plus, the box is about three times the size of what you would find in a grocery store for almost the same price.

Product Review: Good Old Values M 10 Washing Machine Lint Traps Aluminum Mesh With Clamps

 


These are the lint traps for washing machines that have a hose draining into a laundry sink. They definitely work to trap lint and keep the drain from getting clogged up. The only negative is that the zip ties that come with them are pretty flimsy and the heads of the zip ties are pretty small, so it can be hard to loosen them when you need to take the trap off the hose and put a new one on. Other than that, however, they are a much better deal to get 10 traps than getting a pack of two at a grocery store.

Product Review: 24 Pieces Lint Traps Stainless Steel Washing Machine Washer Hose Lint Traps

 


These are exactly the same as the washing machine lint traps (the kind that goes over the hose from the washer that drains into a laundry sink) you can find at grocery stores or some of the all-in-one big box stores, but you get 24 as opposed to two, and you are not paying a whole lot more than you would pay for two of them in a regular store. Lint traps are one of those things that you tend to only know you need when you want to do a load of laundry and discover that you have no more left and the one currently on the hose is full and/or splitting. Of course, how long a pack of 24 will last depends on how much laundry you do, but if you live alone and only do laundry every week or two, this pack can easily last over a year. And, you can get it as a subscribe and save item so you don't have to worry about forgetting to buy them.
