Since I love testing out phones, or upgrading my own phone to the latest and greatest, I sometimes end up with a few phones sitting around. Some are worth giving to friends and family if they are still worth something, but sometimes no one wants them. You should not throw those old phones away. They [...]
As you all undoubtedly know, I am a phone freak. I have tested several phones. I own an iPhone 3Gs and an HTC Evo. I am always watching out for the next best thing in smartphones. I have not yet gotten an iPhone 4. I don’t think I’ll be upgrading to one of those. Actually, the iPhone [...]

Yep, I am home sick again today with some tummy bug (BLAH!) so I am using this opp to catch up on posts (when the kids let me). I hate being sick. I need it to be gone!! Although, I have to admit I prefer tummy bugs to other flu’s, etc. As I have stated [...]
I watched Enemy of the State with Will Smith again not too long ago. That movie fascinates me. I can’t help but watch and wonder how much of that technology like the GPS Tracking is being used today to track our every move. We usually only think as GPS as being that useful thing in our car [...]

So, it does not take long before manufacturers hope on board and start making accessories for new smartphones when they come out. Heck, before they come out. The list of Motorola Droid X Accessories is quickly growing. At the press conference we got a taste of a couple of very cool accessories such at the [...]
I have worked in IT for over 13 years. One of the things that we have constantly have to deal with is training. Not just any training, but training for Microsoft Office, over and over again. I have constantly said, and I quote “Why in the heck does Microsoft have to completely change the look [...]
I’m lucky enough to have a job where I don’t have to dress “corporate” every day. I’m in IT, so jeans and t-shirts, or a nice shirt are normal wear around the office. I have built up quite a collection of printed shirts, shirts from events, shirts from contests, or shirts with cool sayings on [...]
Collecting data about users, shoppers, petitioners, etc. used to take some hassle. Hire a bunch of teens to stand in the mall and grab people as they walk by. Call homes and have people hang up on you (before the “Do Not Call List” was implemented), or spend money mailing printed surveys that no one [...]
With the recent release and super fast sell out of the HTC Evo on Sprint and the upcoming release of the new iPhone 4, phone users have a lot great options to choose from. Manufacturers that make and sell phones have really stepped up their game (although some are slower than others) I just tried to [...]
I always have like 2-3 ideas for sites and domains floating around in my head. If it’s a good name, sometimes I will grab it up and let it sit until I do something with it. This used to not work out too well since domains were expensive. Now, it’s easy. Cheap domain names make [...]

YAYY!!! As I mentioned before I had been on the hunt for Mobile Broadband service. I had tested Clear 4G for a bit, loved it.. but the range across the US was not quite wide enough at that time, although they have expanded now. I compared their wireless broadband plans to those from some of [...]
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of FriendGiftr. All opinions are 100% mine. I have been hearing a lot about FriendGiftr lately. We all love gift cards. Receiving a gift card is like getting a gift twice. You get one gift when you open the envelope and another gift when you [...]
Not too long ago, I shared another great tip for not spending an eye and a leg on prescription eyeglasses. When you have kids, you just never know what might happen. Because of this, I do not buy expensive eyeglasses. I shop around! The last time I actually got glasses from my eye docs office, [...]

Like a lot of people these days I wear glasses. I have since I was a kid. I have insurance through work which gets me an exam and one pair of eyeglasses every 2 years, but even with that I usually pay $75 – $100 for a pair. The last pair that I got at [...]

Vlogs and podcasts are huge on the web these days. There is something about being able to watch a video tutorial or segment rather than reading it. It gets the point across better, it grabs the watchers attention if done well, and it adds life to your site or blog. But in order for it [...]
