Dark Horse Deluxe Dexter Color Changing Mug

So I just found this on amazon, and just had to make a post. If you don't know one thing about me, let it be known that I am highly fond of the Dexter series. The TV series, books, short stories, online comics. I present to you one of the cooliest Dexter merchandise products around. The Dexter Color Changing Mug.

Feeling murderous in the morning? Get out your Dexter blood-splattered mug and let the caffeine from a hot cup of coffee warm you up and restore your civilized side. This diabolical mug shows the two sides of Dexter: when cold, it is covered with blood, just like a newly discovered Florida crime scene; when hot, the blood disappears, leaving a grinning Dexter, who's in on all your secrets.

I plan on picking up this cup soon just to see how great the changes are. If you have this cup let me know how cool it is. If your going to buy one, let me know what thoughts you had when deciding to buy it.

Transcend 16GB Class 10 SDHC Card (TS16GSDHC10)

For the last month or so I have been looking for a good 16GB SDHC memory card. After doing my research I found the Transcend 16gb SDHC card SD 3.0 SPD class 10. This thing is working perfectly and has great response to transferring files.
Although I have not seen Transcend much in the market, the performance this little guy has is amazing. I have bought many high end memory cards that compare in performance, but ended up failing far to quickly for the price I paid.

Transcend has really done a great job in the mini memory world, and this 16GB SDHC card is top notch.


On another note I also recently purchased a new Android phone. The problem I was having was finding a suitable flash memory card for it. Check out my next review to see how the SandDisk 16gb class 2 microSDHC card held up.


If you own this particular product please let me know how it worked out for you. If you have had better luck with another device please share your information so we can do a review on it!

Future Weapons: Season 1

A long time back I had purchased the Future Weapons: Season 1 DVD pack online. I received it quickly and watched the entire season in one night. This inspired a post of mine on this website http://thejonestheory.blogspot.com/2007/02/future-weapons.html So far this has been my highest producing post on this website.
The reason that post is getting so much attention is because of how awesome the show is. If you have seen this show before, you know some of the cool toys Richard "Mack" Machowicz gets to demonstrate for us.


There have since been a few more seasons put out. But today I watched the entire season again and remembered why it was so freaking cool. If you haven't bought it, pick up Future Weapons: Season 1 on DVD and be prepared to wipe a grin off your face.

If you have bought or are buying this DVD, let me know what you thought about it. Did you enjoy watching things get blown up as much as I did?

30 Minutes to a better blog - 02: Introduction To Blogs

What's A Blog's?


For those of you who have never used a blog, or even have no clue what a blog is this section is for you. A blog is usually a piece of software used to manage Html/PHP and MySQL pages and databases. Or put much simpler, Used to manage posts of information such as what you eat for the day, or even something like a news article you wrote. Blog software is usually ran from the server side not the user's side. You as a “Blogger” login and manage your blog software from any connection to the internet. The software it's self is responsible for storing, and managing the media you produce.


Why Do We Blog?


Why would someone invest time into blogging? I have found that most people who blog can be broken down into 4 main groups. There could be many sub categorizes but I feel these 4 are a good representation of general bloggers.

• Diary's
• Informative
• Advertisement
• Link Building/Rank Building

Deciding your reason for starting a blog most likely falls into one of these 4 places. Lets walk through each one and decided which best fits you.


Diary's: These are the people who use their blogs to record their information such as important events, things they are proud of, or even for displaying their photography or other artistic media. This type of blogger's focus is on displaying content that is usually original and from that person personal experiences.


Although the information on these sites can drive some traffic, they often times do not have popular search terms used to drive traffic. In some cases (Lets say A Real Estate Agent) using your day's events, like showing a house, can provide a good opportunity to provide a blog post with some pictures, address, features and other things about the property you are showing. This post could potentially drive some traffic and make it possible for a sale to be made on that house.


Informative: This group is usually dedicated to a focused area of specialty. They use their blog for providing information such as Tutorials on achieving a task, Documentation on experiments or studies, or things like historical or educational facts. I have found this group to be the most use out of any others. The majority of internet traffic seems to come from this group, and often indicates a searcher who is seeking a solution to a problem, doing research on a topic, or other things such as reviews on products they look to buy.


Although this groups style is providing end user's with accurate and helpful information, they often use their advice and information to provide the opportunity for the end user to acquire a product or service. Often this product or service is provided on the same site, or with the same company. Informational blogs are a great way to acquire search traffic focused on those looking to either buy a product, or have the product already and are good targets for “Addon's” to the items of discussion in the blog.


Advertisement: This group seems to be highly comprised of automated software. For the ones who do things “By Hand” often incorporate most of the techniques used by Informative blogs. In most cases providing information or reviews to drive traffic to provide an opportunity to purchase a product or service. Which again would either be provided by the site, or through an affiliate service.


This groups main content is based on products or a service they sale or refer. Traffic is driven through the use of keywords for those items for sale. The down side to these types of blogs, if Advertisement is their main goal and source of content, is the fact that there are so many of them out there. With such a large amount of content online already it is vital for a blogger using their blog for Advertisement to follow strict protocols to ensure their content is accurate and readable by search engines.


For bloggers who are just starting for the first time, I would highly recommend your first blog be from one of the free service providers, such as www.blogspot.com, Or www.wordpress.org

The reason for this is so that you can be assured that your content is kept to strict markup rules and that your links will have a smaller chance to cause problems. Although these Free Hosted blogs can be slightly more limiting, it provides a very safe environment for someone who does not wish to spend a lot of time on ensuring SEO(Search Engine Optimization) standards are followed. SEO will be a topic discussed in a later chapter.


Link Building/Rank Building: This type of blog is almost a mix of Informative and Advertisement. Although it has it's own category because it's purpose can be largely different. For now we will not get into a lot about why Link Building/Rank Building is important, but bloggers often use this style to market their products and services much like the advertisers. The difference is often in the writing style of the content. Link building's content is not as important as the amount of content and it's age.


Another large factor for this group is the amount of inbound links. Meaning links that are on other websites pointing to their website. This is a large factor in Ranking on search engines and can directly effect traffic flow. This group often does not rely on return visitors for business, but rather look for the one time customers from search traffic.

30 Minutes to a better blog - 01: Introduction

Welcome to The Jones Theory. Your source to everything you will need to know about blogging. This book will provide the information you will need to start, design, and market your blog, and will direct and advise you through each and every step.


One thing that I believe is most important and should be said ahead of time. I promise to do my best and to provide the most accurate and effective information. While I take this promise on, one thing I can not change is your ATTITUDE.


Your ATTITUDE and how much EFFORT you put into things will dictate how much results you will get from working through each step. The fact is, you can read every book in the world on how to make money with your blog and still lack the needed Effort. If you take the tools given to you, and take them and try them out, I Guarantee you will receive the benefits you are expecting.



With those thoughts out on the table, and if you are still reading, then I assume you either have a good attitude, or are at least willing to work on making a higher effort. It has always been true, that to get things done on a large scale, often takes a large amount of smaller steps. I would like to now explain a little bit about making small steps, and how you should work on them while you read this book.


This book has been set up in a order which should allow you to literally follow along. Although doing so would not be very effective, or practical for that matter. You will receive the most benefit by doing a few things while reading this book.


The first and most important thing to do when working on something new, is to Take Notes. Grab some blank white paper, or find your self a notepad. This WILL save you time, and frustration over the long run. The next tip to getting the most effect from this book is to Read, Research, and Implement. Read a section, Research it's methods, code, and the amount of time and resources it will take to finally, Implement. Take this newly gathered information and put it to work.


My last tip, to each and every person who reads this book. Do Not Give Up. Along the road to perfection you will often come along times when you feel that there is nothing more to do then give up. Nothing is Ever going to go the way that you hope it to. This is something I hope you can admit now, and put out of your mind. Over the course of this book you will eventually find your self frustrated and ready to give up. Find your self a few spare moments. Find your self a satisfying flash game, and take a break. Breath for a minute, sip that coffee, perhaps even reply to a few of those spam emails. Once you have collected your thoughts, start back from the beginning, and make it work. Because if you do your best. It WILL happen.


From here you on out I will work along with you side by side. Spelling out the steps to take you blog from just and idea, to a money maker. If you have any problems with the content of this book, or have questions, comments, or suggestions. Please feel free to stop by my website http://www.thejonestheory.com and send us an email.

New Headphone Sound Test

Today I am wearing a new set of headphones. A gift for my birthday!

I am testing a new pair of Ge Stereo Headset With Detachable Mic with some various music files. The audio is absolutely amazing. I have had a few pairs of name brand headphones that did not compare to the quality of sound. A cool little feature to this set is the removable mic. The mic plugs right into the side of the headphone, and sounds sharp as well.

If you are in the market for new headphones, I would recommend you give this set a shot. It's been only a few hours of testing, but I am already loving this new setup. I grabbed a few links to "Test surround sound" I found these two videos to sound the best, and provide a good test.

Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm.

So I have to admit. For the amount of time in one day that I spend doing research, and wasting time on the internet. There is always somthing that comes out of no where and makes you says "Hmmmmm. I'm a ignoramus".

For a while, I thought that I was up one times, and thought I knew all there was about having the latest and greatest software. I thought I was taking advantage of every chunk of technology. So be it the forces of wifi shunned my soul.

So yes, let there be IGOOGLE. Which is now my new homepage, which is a change from http://www.google.com Guess theirs not much of a change.

Just a reminder to my self, that sometimes clicking on buttons you have never clicked before CAN make you smarter.

New Web Server: And Promotional Prices

Today's post is a little off topic from where I am usually posting, but I have just got a new server up and running and had to post about it.

Yesterday and today, I started a fresh installation of CentOS on my blade server I purchased several months ago. CentOS is a Linux distribution based on the Red Hat open source operating system. It's design is leaned to those who want to run secure servers with high performance.

The installation went off without any problems, other then the ones I had with my network. After fixing the network everything work great out of the box, so they say. My next step was getting Apache setup.

Apache by it's self was a fairly quick and painless process, the installation was as simple as typing "yum install Apache" and waiting just a few minutes. Again, out of the box, Apache does it's job very well, and for single site hosting has almost no extra configuration's to make. I however plan and am hosting multiple sites. This is where Vhost's come in.

Vhost stands for "VirtualHost" and allows Apache to run multiple websites from one daemon. Setting up the configs for this feature was what took me most of my time. After fixing a few daemon start up bugs, and getting my configs right, Vhost is now working as expected!

People who visit my IP directly will get a warning page asking them to use a valid URL, where visiting by link: www.mediaxsolutions.com will bring you to the hosted page for my web host company.

At this time the server is up and running, and running with great performance.

Now that the new server is running I am offering a special promotion to those who visit this blog, and for all their friends! Here is a small breakdown:


Website Hosting - 1.99/M Your web page, unlimited pages and sub-domains.
Blog Hosting - .99/M Your customized blog, Setup is free!

All new customer's will get free advertising on this website for a month!

Referral Program: Once you try out our new server, and see just how nice it work's for you, tell a friend. When you get your friend to sign up, www.MediaXSolutions.com will give you half of their monthly spending's! This is the highest earnings offered by any other company.

To get setup or ask any questions, Email: jjonesdesign@gmail.com

FreeCreditReport.com - A Review

I have been using their site for about 2 months now. They offer a 14 day trial for getting your free report, and charge 14.95 monthly to track your credit score. For 24.95 monthly you can track you credit score on all 3 reporting agency's.

Although they are not the cheapest site out there (Wellsfargo offers all 3 scored for 14.95 to their customers) I have found that they have the easiest and nicest flowing site of all the ones I have tried.

I have also found their alerts to be very handy when keeping a close eye on your credit score. I get an alert sent to my email, in turn gets sent to my phone. So every time something on my credit happens, I am notified within 20 seconds of the action.

Over all I would say they are a little spendy, but for their well designed site, and easy to use layout, I think this is a great program for anyone working on building their credit back up. The first step to rebuilding credit, Is knowing your credit number.

There is only one book I ever recommend to people trying to get out of debt, and fix their credit. This is a must have! This is the book by Dave Ramsey called The Total Money Makeover.

Dearly Devoted Dexter

I started the second book about 3 days ago. I had just finishes Darkly Dreaming Dexter, which was the first in the set. So far the second book has kept me on a short leash. For the first part of this book Dexter takes us through some of his brain and paints a decently detailed picture about whats going on in his "lizard Brain" as he would put it.

Within the first few chapters we are introduced to his next victim. We also start to get a in depth layout of the rules and laws Dexter follows, which were laid down by Harry, His adopted father. There is still more yet to play out in this story of Dexter, our Good guy serial killer.

More updates to come as I get farther into the book, as well as a final review once I am done. I would highly recommend picking the first book up if you haven't already, this is a set of books you will love!

First Book: Darkly Dreaming Dexter (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)
Second Book: Dearly Devoted Dexter (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)
Third Book: Dexter in the Dark (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)

LokalWear.com Had been released

Today marks the release of a brand new site that I put together. This site was built for my brother and his company. I thought that this would help him get his name out on the net and perhaps bring him some more business. Here is a quick run down.

Who Is LokalWear.com:
Lokal Wear is a company ran out of Tigard Oregon, and Is owned By my brother Bill. He has been training in MMA for about just over a year now. He founded Lokal Wear because of all the local connections we have with Fighters, Bands, and other groups.

What Does LokalWear.com Provide:
Lokal Wear has been working with local bands for a while now. Although the menu is small right now, Lokal Wear is dedicated to providing quality clothing with etiher the Lokal Wear Brand, or a brand of your choosing. Many local bands have turned to Lokal Wear to get all the hotest gear to sell at their shows.

Just because they servce mostly Local Groups does not mean they can't serve you. The truth of the matter is If you want your name or logo on clothing, They can help you out.

www.lokalwear.com - Your resource for localaly branded clothing.


Looking for Hoodies to send to Lokal Wear for print? Check these preffered items out:
XX-Large. Plain Men's WHITE Pullover Hoodies Fleece, Sweatshirts.

Complete Makeover for 2010

TheJonesTheory - A total make over
Current mood: stoked
My blog has been up for about 4 years now, on and off I have been active with it. I decided to get back into the scene, and start pushing it harder. Lets take a look at some things I have done.

1) I have re-purchased My domain: www.thejonestheory.com

It had run out and removed it self, Causing a lot of my search traffic to disappear. I bought it back up, and linked it directly to my blogger.com account (google owned).

2) Choose a New line of flavor: Review and News

Previously I had decided to blog about anything and everything. I found that there was too much randomness going on to make sensible use of my blog. I am now focusing my thoughts and leaning more to the direction of Book/Movie/Tv Show Reviews and News.

I have started reading more, trying to open my mind to new and better things. I'm using this to my advantage and working on cranking out a whole new set of posts.

3) Brand New Layout: #sosexy

I cranked out a new layout for my blog. I liked the original one, but it was a default template, and it just started to get on my nerves. The new one looks more crisp and flows a lot smoother. Not to mention loads amazingly fast!

4) New Market Scheme: Away With they google ads!

I had a few odd looking ads sprung within the site. Making it not only have a weird flow, But a clashing design. I have chosen some newer and nicer looking Advertising companies and have even turned to some private purchasing ad's which I hope will fill up as I rebuild.

5) Bloggers Wanted: TheJonesTheory Needs YOU! (finger point)

I have decided since I can only read so fast, and only read so many things that I have room to invite some other bloggers on board. I think this will be a good idea and will help spread the flavor around.

If you blog, even once a week, Id like you! I'm looking for some new faces to add. If you have read a book, Watched a movie, Or baught an item within the last year, YOU FIT MY NEEDS (oh baby oh baby)

Lets say you don't want to become a reguler, but would like to get your name, or perhaps personal link (own blog, myspace link, email, phone number, etc) on the web and infront of (WOW 50 hits a day! I just started!) people. Write a review and email me it!


Well thats all for now folks. If you want to email me, jjonesdesign at gmail.com

Its been Long, Its been Fun.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon - Movie 2009

In the second installment of Stephenie Meyer's phenomenally successful TWILIGHT series, the romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of—only to find herself in greater peril than ever before. With more of the passion, action and suspense that made TWILIGHT a worldwide phenomenon, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON is a spellbinding follow-up to the box office hit.

 I have heard great things about this new movie, The first one being loved by millions. I was present on opening day of the first film, But missed the release of the new one. Many people are allready excited about the next movie in the saga, and people seem to be allready waiting in line!

As expected "New Moon" the second of four twilight movies was a huge hit on opening day. New Moon pulled in an amazing $140.7M weekend. Wish I could get a small chunk, but hey, I didn't star in it.

If you went and saw the movie, How was it? Did you see it on opening night?

If you havn't allready baught it, Get the Twilight Two-Disc Special Edditon. (It's Cheaper!): Twilight (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Book

Darkly dreaming Dexter is a book by Jeff Lindsay (also made into a Showtime series) about a character "Dexter Morgan" who works for the Metro Miami Police as a blood splatter analyst. Dexter's foster sister "Debera Morgan" also works with Dexter in the Metro Miami Police force.

Dexter is the lead blood splatter analyzer, with a twisted alter ego. Dexter was adopted by "Harry Morgan" a Miami Police detective  who raised Dexter with a wild understanding of Dexter's "Imperfections" growing up as a young child.

This story takes us along a thrilling ride as Dexter try's to solve a series of murders done by the "Ice Truck Killer" who's murder techniques follow oddly similar to Dexter's. Follow Dexter on his murderous adventurers as he and Debera track the ice truck killer through Miami.

 I was given this book as a gift from a friend who knew that I deeply enjoyed the T.V series on showtime. Once I started reading the book I realized I wasn't able to put it down. I ended up reading the entire book in one sitting. Only an hour later did I get back online and order the following 2 books in the series.

I will be putting up a short overview and some comments on those two in due time. For now I would highly recommend this first book as a place to start. please let me know how much you enjoyed this book. I would love to hear back!
