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: GREENSKY Compatible Toner Cartridge Replacement for Samsung Laser Printer

 


These are for the Samsung series of color laser printers (the CX series). You get the best of an inkjet with individual color cartridges, with the speed and printing quality of a laser printer. The big downside is that if you purchase the Samsung brand toner, it is very expensive. About $50+ per cartridge. This allows you to get all the colors in one pack for about $80. It is still expensive, and yes, kind of a rip-off given how inexpensive it is to actually make toner and the cartridges themselves. But, unless you want to buy a new printer each time ink or toner runs out, this is the most cost-efficient option I have found to get replacement toner for these printers. I had no issue with the printer not recognizing or accepting the toner cartridges (at least the one I have replaced so far), and they do last a long time. This is a subscribe and save item on Amazon so you can have replacements sent at whatever interval works for you.

Product Review: EPSON T252 DURABrite Ultra Ink Standard Capacity Color Combo Pack (T252520-S) for select Epson WorkForce Printers

 


The print quality from these cartridges is good, but they run out of ink fast. Much faster than off-brand cartridges. Given that they are definitely a lot more expensive than the off-brand cartridges, they should last at least as long as those, if not much longer.
