Experimenting with WordPress Caching
In the last few days, I've read about caching WordPress blogs to improve performance. I've played with this in the past, but always gave up as it wasn't something I needed, at least not yet. However, I took another stab at it and installed W3 Total Cache to see how much good it would do.

WordPress SSL Admin and Twitter Tools
For a long time, I've used WordPress for my blog hosted on my own server or virtual server. This has allowed me to experiment with plugins and play around with various settings.

I set out to secure the admin portion of my blog. I read an article over on WordPress's site.

Review: MacBook Pro 15" (Early 2011)
As someone that deals with computers all day long, I need to upgrade my hardware periodically as the applications get more complicated and my productivity starts to decrease. I try to get a new machine about every 2.5 years. My previous machine was a 15" MacBook Pro right after the unibody redesign.

Review: Ram Mount iPhone car mount
When I decided to ditch my GPS unit to use my iPhone, I needed a way to secure my iPhone in my car or a rental car so I started to look for options.

Since Andy reviews a lot of products and seems pretty critical of some poorly made ones, I figured he might know what he's talking about. I decided to give the iPhone 4 bracket a try.
