Sharing Digital Photos

I have loved our digital camera ever since we bought it a couple of years ago.  Not only does it take amazing pictures, but it really doesn’t cost us anything unless we print - which is just great.
But, the one thing that I have noticed is that we don’t really print pictures anymore.  In fact, […]

My Hobby, My Phone

It is sad to say that my hobby is keeping up with the latest iPhone news.  Now, don’t laugh - I am sure that you were thinking that I might say that I like to build model cars, canoe, knit, or other traditional hobbies.  But to be honest, none of those really excite me as […]

Interweb Bridges the Gap Between Gadgets and Games

Ever since we had a computer in our house when I was a child, I was fascinated with computer games.  Sure, back in those days the graphics were not very good, but it wasn’t the looks that were important - it was the gameplay.
It wasn’t much after we had a computer that portable devices started […]

Deciding to Get a Phone

I wanted to know what kind of iPhone ringtones were available before I decided to make one of the biggest purchases I had ever made in my young life. A cell phone to me was a big responsibility and I wanted to make sure that I thought it through well and made the best decision […]

Common Tech Support Questions for iPod

My brother works as a Mac support specialist at a support center in town.  He has been doing this for a couple of years now, and he seems to like it.  Sure he has some bad calls, but mostly things are okay.
I asked him what his most common calls were about during the holiday season.  […]

My "Best" Christmas Gift

I bet for a lot of you out there, you get some gifts that you want, and others you just really didn’t want at all.  Sure you made a list, sent it to all your family members, but some of them just get you something different.
That happened to me this year, thanks to my 85 […]

Consider Your Wife When Purchasing a Video Game System

While I have always been a big fan of Xbox games, my wife has not.  You see, she doesn’t really care for the shooting games that I like to play and she is more interested in all ages games.  This was a big problem for me, because it is not as much fun playing alone.  […]

Christmas Gift for my Nephew

Well, it is that time of year again - Christmas.  The time where everyone exchanges gifts, and hopefully gets something they want.  I don’t want to sound pessimistic, but I have had my share of poor gift choices in the past, and I have tried very hard in my adult life not to make the […]

From Desktop to Notebook

Well, I have been a big fan of my desktop for a few years now.  But times have changed.  You see, I do a lot of consulting out of my home - and it is not easy to take my desktop with me.  I have tried other solution, such as taking a flash drive or […]

Nokia 6300 - My Free Cell Phone

I decided this weekend that I have had enough with pay phones.  After the payphone ate over two dollars in quarters, and a few choice words, it was clear what I needed to do - get a cell phone.
Now, it has been a long time since I have looked at mobile phones, so I really […]
