I’m Back And I’m Bad
You might have noticed that I’ve not posted anything new for almost a month. The primary reason for this is that this is my busiest season at work and I simply didn’t have time. I also just wanted a bit of a break. I’ve gotten to the point now that I have tons of things [...]
Oprah, Ooma; Ooma, Oprah
About a month ago I posted here about dropping my traditional landline phone and switching to a VoIP (Voice Over IP) service. Specifically, I signed up with Ooma. You might recall, Ooma is a VoIP service provider with a different plan: You pay a bit more for the equipment but the basic service is free. [...]
Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow
In today’s world many people are ditching their traditional landline phone service in favor of cell phones. I’m an old fogie though, and while I live and die by my iPhone, I still think my home phone is necessary. I refuse to carry my cell phone with me 24/7 so on the frequent occasions when [...]
A Fistful Of Apps
I’ve been using my iPhone for about three months now. In this time I’ve already aquired about 83 apps. That number should probably be a bit higher seeing as I’ve deleted several apps that I just didn’t like. Most of these 83 apps are only used sporatically, however, there are a few I use on [...]
Come Join The Dark Side
For the past year and a half my cell phone of choice was a Blackberry Curve from U.S. Cellular. The Curve is a great phone and does pretty much everything you need from a smartphone. The problem is, while it does it all, it doesn’t do it with style. The Blackberry will get you from [...]
Poop In A Can
This week’s Amazon.com product is: Insta Poop Turd in a Can. Yep, you read that right, Insta Poop, Turd in a Can. Personally, I have no problem at all generating all the poop I could ever use. In fact, there are those that believe I’m quite full of crap. For those of you that come [...]
Late To The Party Again
Okay people, it’s time for a little bit of honesty here: I’m a 47 year old white, middle class guy that lives in the suburbs. If you look up “White Bread” in the dictionary you’ll find a picture of me. As you might guess, my musical tastes are fairly middle of the road. Classic rock [...]
Epson Artisan 800 All-In-One
Most of the material that I print out from my home computer I do on a Brother Laser printer. This is just fine for the lion’s share of things. When it comes to printing high quality photos and graphics, however, an ink jet printer is obviously the way to go. The problem [...]
The Key(board) To My Heart
As a computer geek and overall technology lover, I’ve long craved the perfect keyboard. I think I’ve gone through at least 5 in the past two years. That may not sound like many but consider that my wife is still using the same one that I bought her 10 years ago.
Well, after years of using [...]
Windows Vista
Like many hard core geeks I build my own computers. I gave up on buying pre-assembled systems years ago because, at the time, I could construct a much better system for less money on my own. That’s really not the case anymore except for very high end gaming rigs but it still gives [...]
