I have a nine year old son, and if any of my readers have children that are anything like mine, then you all know how much little boys love stuff they can build, tear down, and rebuild again. My son is into those building sets like Magnext’s iCoaster and stuff like that. I bought him his first magnet building set about 3 years ago and he has never grown tired of playing with it. He can spend hours building and rebuilding things. I like the magnet sets mainly because there are so many different things you can do with them if you use your imagination. They connect together with these little metal balls that act kind of like joints and hold the other magnet pieces together.

My son has really gotten into the Magnext MagnaSaurs series lately, as well as the MagnaBones series. They are both pretty cool. He’s got a great imagination and really gets into his pretend-play toys, so these just addd to the collection. The great thing about them is that he gets to actually build the toys and then he can play with the toys he built. If you’ve got a curious child who you think would benefit from Magnext’s building sets, check them out on the web at Megrabrands.Com.

Well, I finished the third book in the Twilight series. Eclipse was pretty good, but it got kind of frustrating in the end. I mean, okay.. anyone who is familiar with this plot and these characters knows what I’m talking about. Bella is starting to get annoying as hell. The whole Jacob Black thing is pissing me off, I really don’t like that kid. But whatever.

Anyway, I’m about done with the first book in the A Song Of Ice And Fire series that Cetta got me. It’s not bad at all, really. It took a little time to get into it, like it kind of had a slow start but it’s getting better.

Anyway, I’ve been working on some brushes and hopefully I’ll have them up soon. I got an email the other day from someone saying they really loved the brushes I made and when was I going to make some more. It’s really nice when I get feedback on that kind of stuff, because I don’t do it very often and I don’t even pay attention to what people are downloading or if they are. But yeah, I’ll have some new stuff up soon.

Other than that my day has been mostly uneventful. (It was Sunday afterall.) Tomorrow Eric goes back to school, since he’s been home for Winter break for 2 weeks, one of which he spent with the grandparents, but still. Even though I’ve been cleaning like crazy, it’s impossible to keep the place totally clean with him home all day.

Being that I’ve been doing this a long time, and I’ve had alot of experiences with many different web hosting companies, I know that the decision you make regarding what company you choose to host your website can be a very important, yet very tough one. Most people don’t realize that there is actually alot of thought and research that should go into choosing a good webhost. There are many things to consider such as price, reliability, customer service and support, uptime, space and bandwith as well as up-time and whether or not the company backs up their servers often. These are all things I would consider when looking for a host. Some people want a free domain, some want to be able to host unlimited domains, and some people are looking to become a reseller and start their own hosting company. Whatever your specific needs are when it comes to web hosting, just make sure you do all of the research necessary in order to make a well-informed decision. WebHostingReport.Com is a great place to start if you are looking for a new host or looking to switch hosting companies. The site offers customer reviews and also allows you to compare features against price and other options to keep you well informed in the decision making process.
