Give or take a few leagues. Last weekend, Sunday to be exact, I was attending my first Steampunk convention. To explain what this is, I tried to come up with all sorts of analogies. The best I could come up with is to think of Disney’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. From the time they […]

Ok, I understand that I don’t know all the ins and outs of iTunes yet, but why isn’t it easier to unsync from one computer and then sync to another. The syncing part is very easy. Unfortunately, I was not on my computer when I first installed the software needed to run the iPad. When
What, why can’t I do that? Read More »
Last week the price of the initial version of the iPad were dropped by $100. I went out and bought one. Initially, I was looking for something to read some manuals for work. My nook just wasn’t up to that task. Then I found an app that just may help me to put my thoughts

Tonight/this morning I was ready to sit in my lawn chair and look for shooting stars. The Perseid meteor shower was to hit its maximum two days. The sky promised to be clear. The mosquitoes did not promise to stay away, but I have my bug suit. 😉 So, I drove the truck out into

I woke up a little before my alarm this morning. Wide awake at 4:00 am. I realize this is because I went to sleep much earlier than normal, but still that was an hour of sleep I could have used. 😉 Oh well. Hard drive restore is going slowly, but is making progress. So far

What is it with me and high tech toys recently? I bought myself a book reader (read the many nook posts.) 😉 and now I have a new ‘smart’ phone. All I really ever wanted in a phone was the ability to make phone calls. You know, dial the number, the phone rings and someone

I was going to combine this with my last post on the iPad, but I thought that the initial thoughts could stay there without further editing. Things I wanted to try, but couldn’t. 1) I was wondering if you could play music while doing other things. There was no music on the iPad, and I

I am getting to borrow an iPad from work this evening. Very easy to use, but touch typing on a touch screen makes me look at my hands. This one has a cool astronomy program that I will try out if it is clear tonight. I will have to be on the lookout for the

I made chicken for dinner and thought that it would taste good with some salsa on it. It did, but I put on a bit much. Now I’m paying for it. Up late at night waiting for antacids to kick in. You can’t put it back in the jar after it hits partially cooked chicken.
I didn’t mean to use that much Read More »
