What's the last movie you saw?  Doesn't matter if it was at home or at a theater. Last one I saw was Captain Philips.  I thought it a pretty good movie, especially since it was based on real events.

Amazon has announced that the yearly price for Amazon Prime will increase from $79 to $99 starting this year.  Amazon Prime gives you free two-day shipping, no minimum order size, unlimited streaming of movies/TV, and more.  It has been $79 for many years now, and I’ve subscribed myself for quite a few. Now I don’t think $99 is a terrible price increase.  It’s most likely still a good value if you purchase a lot of stuff from Amazon.  For me though, with the addition o...

I have a Keurig machine, and I use the refillable K-cups which I fill with whatever coffee I decide to buy at the grocery store.  It's much cheaper than the packaged K-cups, and in my opinion, tastes about the same. It seems Keurig is tired of 3rd party coffee brands using their system.
