Another Futon Moving Video

Obviously, this is not how you move a futon, and the guys in the video realized this a little too late.

Car Insurance

If you want to search for the best car insurance price on the market today, you might want to follow the link I posted to give the 2insure4less.com insurance search a try. Supposedly, 2insure4less.com searches thru rates to get you the best price possible, and a little saved cash isn’t a bad thing especially after the holidays!

Moving a futon

I’ll state right now that this is not the proper way to move a futon frame, but it’s a whole lot easier than moving a sleeper sofa. I couldn’t even see those two guys lifting a sleeper sofa up there. Check out the vid, you’ll see what I mean.

Need to mount a laptop?

If you need to mount a laptop on a wall, say for a retail space or a really tight work area, you’ll want to look into a rackmount lcd system. They’re made in the US, and can really make a difference for you & your space!

A step up for metal futon frames

I normally don’t go for metal futon frames, in fact I don’t think I’d ever go for this one, but I do need to say that I think this metal futon frame is a step in the right direction. Normally metal futon frames have seat and back decks with no real support, usually in terms of slat spacing. But, this frame over at Overstock seems to have a good amount of support with it’s old school wire framework in the seat and back decks. If you’d going to get a metal frame, this is probably the way to go.

Back from the holidays!

I’m back at the futon blog from the holidays and want to say that I’m beat! I went for way to long without any dojo time or exercise, a fact I remembered when I saw a commercial for the dip bar. That and the pain I’m having from a back spasm! But, this week I’ll be back at the dojo and hope to put that behind me!

Sitting in comfort again

This week I switch back to a regular style office chair after a couple years on my knee sit computer chair, and I couldn’t be more please with the decision. It took a bit of searching thru many office furniture websites, but when I found the right chair at the right price, I made the switch without hesitation. Now, I’m enjoying my computer time and sitting properly again!

Futon Machine

Ever wonder how they process the cotton batting that goes into your futon mattress? Well, watch the video to find out…

Searching for a quality cup of coffee

My coffee machine sucks! So, this Christmas I’m seriously looking at new coffee or espresso machines. My morning coffee is a ritual that has suffered over the past few months, and I think it’s time to remedy the situation. Do any of my visitors have any suggestions?
