Another semi-useless spot on the web…

One of the things I enjoy about going to Macworld Expo is finding something I didn’t know I needed. A few weeks back, I was diagnosed with tendonitis in my right arm. I’ve been wearing a brace on it and trying to do some exercises to help it. At Macworld Expo, I stumbled upon a [...]

Today, I got all my gear ready to go for a run and found that my trusted Garmin Forerunner 305 failed to turn on. I put it back in the charger and it went from Charging in Progress to Charging Completed. The device turned on when connected to the charger, but when I removed it, [...]

I finally got around to backing up my Time Capsule last weekend as I needed an offsite backup for it. While I have an offsite backup for my MacBook Pro, I didn’t have an offsite backup for my Time Capsule which has my wife’s backup on it as well as my own Time Machine backup. [...]

When I read the live blogs of Apple’s announcement last week, I kind of thought that the device has pretty uninteresting to me as an individual. I did, however, think that it had great potential for vertical markets. Medical records and pre-hospital emergency care come to mind immediately. There are, of course, lots of other [...]

Since the Samsung Reclaim isn’t a flip phone and the screen risks getting scratched in my wife’s purse, she wanted a case. I saw that Sprint had a plastic case that clips onto the Reclaim to protect it. I didn’t order it right away because the price went up from the time I looked at [...]

Last week, I finally bit the bullet and got new cell phones for my wife and me. (The batteries weren’t holding charges and I’ve been unable to get replacement batteries that hold a charge.) I was very cautious to pick phones that wouldn’t affect my plan, so that pretty much ruled out phones such as [...]

Recently I replaced my cell phone and my wife’s phone with new ones. As I was doing so, I was quite careful about not getting a phone that would require me to change my cell phone plan. Many of the new phones (at least on Sprint), can’t be activated on the plan I have. My [...]

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the promise of Ooma. I received the Ooma box soon after I wrote that and tested it. While the installation wasn’t hard, my first night I played with it, I ended up packing it up and almost writing it off. My biggest problem with how I hooked up [...]

My boss loves Velcro and has Velcro straps around every wire and has taken things to the extreme by creating a Velcro board that he sticks all his cables to and sticks it in his briefcase. While this looked a bit geeky, he always has the cable he needs. While I liked this idea, I [...]

Recently I’ve seen a number of reviews for Ooma phone service and how you pay a one time fee and get free phone calling (in the US) forever (or until the company goes out of business). I’ve been looking at our $53 per month AT&T landline bill and keep wondering what we’re getting for it. [...]
