In March, I left my fairly awesome job working from home as a project manager to pursue entrepreneurship full time. My wife and I were almost done with our Web Technologies program at the local community college, and I’ve been doing websites for over 10 years. Both of us had experience with WordPress and customizing…
Currently (Until June 30th), Blackberry is sponsoring free in-flight wifi via GoGo on all Delta flights. I found this out when I was boarding my plane last Wednesday after having not flown for a while, when I realized that most of my Google Play Music collection isn’t pinned for offline listening. Thankfully, I had some…
Problem: I needed to install Skype on a Linux Live USB distro with persistence (so it remembers the settings & saves files) so I could video chat with my fiancée while on a business trip. On a 64-bit machine with Ubuntu 13.04, Skype is nowhere to be found in the Ubuntu Software Center. If you…
Stanley’s Chargrill diner, centrally located downtown beside the Wal-mart across from the courthouse, makes one of the most fantastic burgers on the planet. Their fries are crispy, their wait staff is impeccable. The decor of the restaurant is pleasing to the eye. It’s literally one of the best meals you could have in your city.…
Got an email yesterday that Crucial has a 256 gigabyte (GB) Solid State Drive (SSD) on sale for $179.99 after a $32 rebate TODAY ONLY, August 24th. The drive is normally about $199 on Crucial’s website. Why should you upgrade to a solid state drive? A couple of reasons: No moving parts involved means the…
It’s October – and if any of you are getting the jump on Christmas present shopping for me or for that special Geek in your life, this list of cool stuff (some of it geeky, some of it is just things that appeal to me and maybe not to YOUR specific geek) might help you…
I have lived the dream since July 17th, 2011. For just a little over a year, I’ve been a project manager at a major insurance company that has, in the recent years, implemented a work-at-home program. Since I was hired, I have been work-at-home straight away. It’s brilliant for all the reasons you might think…
I may have mentioned, I’m doing Sharepoint tech support at the place I work at currently as one of my projects assigned to me. This usually gets me involved in a smattering of e-mails weekly that I have to reply to politely and professionally and with a helpful, friendly attitude. Which is really, really hard…
I’ve been back at blogging for a few weeks now (at the time of this writing) and already I’ve received an offer from a company to do a giveaway contest. I don’t know if my SEO (search engine optimization) voodoo is just that good, or if it’s from my tie-in with Google Adsense, but it’s…
I don’t know about you, but in my resolve to “cut the cable” and ditch my Dish Network subscription (it’s been since last July since we last had satellite service) I’ve been missing the ability to watch live local channels. I don’t actually miss the local news and weather, I get that on my phone…
