Spring Has Arrived In New England, Time To Break Out The Weed Killer

Beautiful New England
It would seem as if Spring arrived a bit early this year in New England as I see the grass and flowers beginning their gradual return to life, trees have begun to bud, and all of this comes to a sudden halt as the cold returns and the frost shocks the vegetation.  It's strange to see an abundance of warm weather so early in the season, however, the cold that follows intermittently is nothing out of the ordinary.

With all of the fresh vegetation upon us, it's a great time to acquire whatever herbicides you will require to maintain control over the course of the year.  For me, I don't require much more than your basic weed killer which I could practically concoct myself using common household supplies.

That's all for now as I've basically become obsessed with the Trailer Park Boys series and I've got to return to watching it on Netflix.  If you haven't checked it out, get into it.  It's certainly a raunchy comedy, but I'm strangely infatuated with it.

Archer Is Totally Ridiculous: Mad Product Placement

Eames lounge chair in Archer

If you haven't seen the television series Archer which I believe was originally aired (correct me) on Cartoon Network.  I've been watching it on Netflix lately which has available seasons 1 and 2.  Strangely, the show appears to have a considerable amount of product placement from the boss lady's Eames lounge chair and ottoman to the Jägermeister ice-cold shot dispenser.  The show itself is absolutely hilarious and definitely worth checking out if you don't mind the fact that it's a cartoon.  While a cartoon, it is most certainly an "adult" themed show.

The show is definitely worth checking out, so if you have Netflix: WATCH IT NOW!  In fact, I'm watching it right now while comfortably relaxing in my Herman Miller Aeron chair.  Here's a video clip for your viewing pleasure...

Resolution For Nerds With Bad Backs, Another Aeron Chair Review

While I realize there are quite a few Aeron chair reviews already out there, I figured it would be a wise decision to share my vast insight into the world of ergonomic chairs and back pain.  After suffering for years from excessive computer use attributed to obsessive work schedule, I decided it was time to resolve my back pains and put an end to my incessant misery by acquiring a properly designed ergonomic office chair.  This is my story.

In the beginning, I started out with your basic office chair which was enough until I became a heavy computer user.  At that point, I realized that I would require a proper chair for which reason I invested well over $500 into an office chair that was a self-proclaimed ergonomic chair.  The reality was, that chair was an awful and it was a terrible waste of money.  Not nearly the investment I originally thought it to be.  This is when I bought another office chair without adequately researching and investigating which chair was right for me.  This resulted in me wasting well over $1,000 in chairs that were poorly designed and just ended up in some quiet corner of my home.  It wasn't until I had wasted a considerable amount of money on chairs that would never be used that I decided to conduct research into ergonomic chairs in order to determine which was the most viable candidate for me.

After carefully researching various manufacturers of top of the line ergonomic office chairs, I eventually decided to visit local retail outlets in order to sit in and try a number of chairs that I had found interesting after reading a vast amount of reviews.  It wasn't until I actually got a chance to sit in a bunch of these chairs that I was ever so interested in that I was able to find the one that was right for me.  As it turns out, the best ergonomic chair solution for me was the Aeron chair by Herman Miller.

Aeron chairs come in three sizes and the largest, size C, is the most appropriate fit for me as I'm quite large when compared to the average human.  This is perhaps one of the reasons why most other chairs don't seem to fit quite right when I sit in them, especially after sitting for a long period of time.  After I thoroughly tested the Aeron and a number of other ergonomically designed chairs, I decided to go ahead and purchase the Aeron chair online.

Once the Aeron chair arrived fully assembled in a giant box, I tossed it up in my office and began configuring the countless options until I dialed the chair in just right.  What helped a great deal in adjusting my Aeron chair was the following video which will explain a great deal about the Aeron in addition to explaining how to adjust the Aeron chair to fit your unique body and needs.

Google Owns Blogger?

Pretty cool how my Google+ account integrates seamlessly into my new Blogger.com account!  I'm pretty psyched about having another hole in the web to voice my ideas and opinions.  It's nice dropping the anonymity factor and correlating my widespread online presence with my offline identity.  I hope you enjoy reading what is sure to become my large repository of nonsense.  Thanks for stopping by!
