You Will Get A Virus

For the past few weeks (one could say MONTHS) I’ve had a lack of motivation to really work on my computers and technology.   By the time I get home from work my resolve and desire to work on things has dwindled and I mostly want to sit and do nothing.  This is likewise true […]

I have  a cat.  I love my cat, and I hate my cat.  I love her for the reason most people (cat lovers, anyways) love their cats - she’s unbelievably cute and cuddly, curls up with me when I’m watching TV, reading a book or doing anything that keeps me in one place for an […]

I’m not dead!     I am, however, VERY very busy and haven’t had too much time to keep up on here.  I hope to be able to post more on here in the near future as things calm down a bit.

With the release of the iPhone and iPod Touch 2.0 software update, and launch of the 3G iPhone (I’ll have one soon),  Apple also launched the App Store, where 3rd party applications are sold and distributed for the platform.  This is a wonderful thing as it creates a slick, clean, one stop shop for applications […]

The company I work for gave me a Blacberry 8830 “World Phone” not long after I started here.  I’d love to say I was thrilled, but I’d be lying.  I don’t necessarily have anything against BlackBerry, I just don’t really like them all that much.

Earlier today one of the iPhone apps I’ve been waiting for hit the app store, Wordpress.
I’ve been waiting for it simply so I could have a method of bloging on the go, wherever I happen to be when an idea strikes me.
I’m giving it a shot right now, in fact, and think it’s […]

Last week I wrote about how a company I had contracted to do the structured wiring in my house had failed to show up, costing me time and money.
I got ahold of them earlier this week and they claim they left me messages (whether or not I believe that claim I will keep to myself),  […]
