Spending some time with the watch; wearing it, showing it off – has been an experience. An Apple experience. But, it’s apparently a rare one. After a few weeks on the market, I asked the coffee guru at Starbucks today if he get’s a lot of people paying with their …
Yep. That was me. Up at 3am to order the most expensive watch I’ll ever own – so far. The Apple Store was closed in preparation for the event and opened only at midnight PST on April 10th. That translated to 3am on that Friday on the east coast. Tap …
Okay, one of my goals this year is to write more. So, here I am. It’s May. I’m finally trying to get to this. And, of course, being a tech guy, I was first confronted with a tech issue on my blog. I had to figure it out before I …
I found a little two inch tall metal robot statue with the acronym ACT on his silver breast pocket. Upon turning him over, I found “Advanced Computer Techniques, NY.” Hmmm…..curiousity, $13 and tech history all rolled up in one. It’s mine! So, I bought it and googled this name. I …

Aside from having not updated this blog in the past six months (yeah! what’s up with that!), I think I should fill you in on my Bell’s Palsy. It’s coming up on my 2nd anniversary of my 2nd bout with my annoying companion. The right side of my face is …
Ok, so maybe I’m a little too excited about this thing. But, I found a solution to a problem I didn’t think had a solution. Cords. Charging cords. Can we all say ugh?! I found this at my local Radio Shack. I’m an old alumni of Radio Shack, so I …
Really? Shame on Best Buy! I shouldn’t have to type out a saga. But that’s what it turned out to be. I think there’s a happy ending. Will find out later this week. I wanted to order the new iPad Air from Best Buy. I needed a few for my …
