OK, before this year, let’s just say my book keeping was less than stellar. I knew just enought about Excel to put clients into a spreadsheet and dole out billing on my own each month or quarter. Yeah, that was lowsy. I had tried Quickbooks way back when, but just didn’t “get” it . .…
Here’s a quick post about a pretty slick website. Do you have Netflix for renting movies? If so, head on over to www.feedflix.com . . . they’ll tell you how much you’re spending per movie. I’m ahead of the game at 18 cents per video – only because my kids watch alot of the Disney…
OK, I tried, I really did. I’m in the market for a new hard drive for my laptop. I did my research and came upon the Seagate Momentus Drive. It has stellar reviews, so I skipped on over to Buy.com and grabbed one for $85 . . . not bad at all (320 GB, 7200…
So, I’m getting a bit of disk space filled up by now, much of witch is client data and template files for the web. I have an external hard drive and another drive on my desktop for double backup, but that just leaves me protected locally if one drive fails. I have nightmares of the…
My plan after upgrading my laptop was to let Alison use my old faithful gateway. Well, after minutes (looong minutes) of boot up time, that option fell by the way.

So, I’m a cheapskate (alot of the time anyway!). I do, however, have the $8.95 subscription to Netflix for the occasional episode of Prison Break (thanks to my uncle for tipping me off to yet another addictive show!). So, here I am, getting my 1 DVD at a time and totally fine with it. Well,…
So, there’s another web browser on the market . . . great. I’ve had enough fun trying to design for two major browsers (Internet Explorer and Firefox) and now Google throws another into the mix. I said I wasn’t going to bother . . . but there’s something worth looking at here. The one thing…
Well, I bit the bullet this week and grabbed an iPhone. Aaaaaand . . . . it’s so worth it. Say what you want about Apple or hype or whatever. This sucker’s amazing. Batter aside, it’s all I wanted it to be. I’m sure I’ll ramble about stuff from time to time, so I won’t…
Here’s a quick public service announcement from yours truly: COMPUTER VIRUSES ARE EVERYWHERE! There, that ought to do it. I think of myself as a pretty secure guy when it comes to using and maintaining my computer. When people ask what to use on their computer, I usually give the usual suggestions that I rely…
Hats off to the folks at Tekzilla for this . . . you know that voice you hear when you call someone’s cell beginning with “We’re sorry, the party you have called, cannot be reached . . . ” followed by an eternity of options? You really just want the beep so you can leave…
