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.…

If you’re here, it’s possible that lately you’ve been feeling a little funny. Maybe a little angry. Perhaps you’re just flat out tired of letting technology and other geekery get the best of you. The Geek Herd at your local electronics big-box shop makes you want to scream, both at their techno-babble and their high prices for service. You’re ready to roll-up your sleeves and get a little nerdy.
I’ve recently had access to a LaCIE Ethernet 1TB (terabyte) NAS (network attached storage) server similar to the one we use at our work place. These things are great because you don’t have to hook them up to a computer (they’re really just small computer servers with huge hard drives). Also, you can make user…
I’m going to be doing a series of posts here over the next um… however long it takes, to introduce interested n00bs (newbies, neophytes) to the world of Linux. If you don’t know what Linux is, head on over to our good friend Wikipedia and have a quick read. That’ll save some time. For these…
