Last night I had the pleasure of sitting in on Russ’ presentation called "It’s All About The Tools – Episode 1".  I’ve sat in on a couple of Russ’ presentations and always enjoyed them, and last night was no exception. He opened the session saying that one of the reasons he does them is because […]

Apple has been on one heck of a resurgence over the past several years.  Starting with the candy colored iMac’s, through the iPod to today’s iPhone and other Apple products, they have been delivering the goods in the consumer / home electronics space, with only the rare misfire (Cube anyone?). Recently however, my experience with […]

Today, after returning from being on the road for 11 hours visiting clients and prospects, Deb plugged her iPhone into her PC (running XP), and without thinking, said Yes to installing the latest iTunes & iPhone update.  Normally this wouldn’t be a problem.  Unfortunately, the update didn’t work.  It basically bricked her iPhone.  I figured […]

 Okay, so I didn’t do much of anything on my 40th, which was nice (except for the client who kept calling about unimportant stuff no many how many times I told them I was taking the day off unless it was an emergency).   The one thing I wanted to do was to get to […]

Once again I went down a rabbit hole on the Internet.  Eventually I ended up at http://www.actsofgord.com and read about a video game store owner’s experiences…  Many of those revolved around being sued, or suing people…   Here’s the great quote: "I remember a happier time when people used to threaten to sue because they were in […]

I swear, this site isn’t supposed to be "all complaining, all the time", but poor customer service seems to follow me around these days.   Due to some problems with sending faxes over a VOIP solution (Vonage, I’m looking at you), we’ve decided to add a "normal" phone line to our residence.  Being the 21st […]

So a guy gets himself arrested (no, not me – I don’t know who this guy is – see the link below).  He is in jail for a week while friends try to gather bail money.  He is eventually cleared of all charges, or the charges are found to be without merit. Do they get […]

It’s a good read – I don’t really have much to add…   Knock knock!

I’ve experimented with Microsoft’s "Live" search (remind me to go on a rant some other time about the stupidity of naming everything "Live" – shades of ".NET" eh?) and I keep going back to Google.   One thing on Live Search that I’ve found that I really don’t like is the use of a redirection […]
