Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
So…this place sure has been hopping lately, eh? Yeah…about that. I’m sorry. Really, I am. But to be honest, it can’t be helped, and I can’t say when it’s going to get better. I don’t want to get into a whole lot of specifics, so I’ll leave it at this: There are a few things …

The reasons for me to finally cave and invest in a phone much smarter than my current one have been piling up for a while now, and here’s another one.

An exchange happened a while ago between myself and a tech support chicky for Samsung that I still snicker about when I think about it. I mentioned my friend and his phone saga in another long and winding post. Anyway, as part of his phone saga, we were trying to make it so it made …

Here comes another giant pile of thoughts. The other day, the oldies radio station was on and The Poppy Family That’s Where I Went Wrong came on. And, unbidden, my only thought that came out loud and clear was “oh that poor bus stranger!” At that point I just started laughing. I didn’t feel one …

Either I haven’t done it or found it yet, or there’s not much to talk about today. So just because it’s awesome, enjoy this video ad for the TomTom Bert and Ernie GPS. If it was blind dude accessible, I would buy this in a heartbeat. I hope you’re paying attention, GPS for blind dudes …

The paper laptop and wooden iPad scams have moved across the pond, where we find that a man in the UK has parted with £200 for an iPad that turned out to be a laptop bag full of potatoes. That’s right, citizens of Spartanburg. There are people in this world even slower than you are. …
