Technology & Internet

I'm pretty much like everyone else when it comes to technology and the internet. I like to look for the latest gadgets and learn new things about the online universe. Sometimes, I even dabble in setting up new websites and making them search engine friendly. In this category, you're sure to find much of what has gone on inside my head regarding home audio, computer hardware and software, energy efficiency in the home and beyond, online music services, photography tips and tricks, opinion on social media and blogging, as well as how to make money working online. I run the gamut with these posts, so get ready.

How To Turn Off AutoComplete In OpenOffice Writer

There is this really annoying feature that OpenOffice Writer offers that I couldn’t figure out how to turn off. It was so annoying that I figured that I would write about it here, just to help out the few souls who need to turn this thing off like I did. The feature is called “Word […]

My New Motorola Droid

I read somewhere a few days ago that pictures and video on the internet don’t do the Motorola Droid justice. Boy, they were right about that. In person, this thing is phenomenal. After Jiu Jitsu practice this afternoon, I somehow ended up in the Verizon Wireless store in Glastonbury. Don’t ask me how I got […]

Why Did Windows Vista Fail?

I was reading an article entitled, “Mac fanboys should get a life and some Windows 7 common sense” today and came across a line that piqued my interest. The line was this: “Vista was a Windows failure.” When I read that line, I stopped cold for a second or two. I started thinking and asking […]

The Dyson Air Multiplier

Have you seen this? I guess the launch was today, because the new “Dyson Air Multiplier” is all over the place on the web. It’s funny, because as I was looking for videos to post here, they were being posted to YouTube pretty rapidly. Basically, this “bladeless” fan consists of a stand (with a fan […]

Google Voice – Get Your Invite

I’m not even sure I am going to head down this road. I don’t want to use too many tools offered by one company. It is a good idea though… Here’s the problem. Google offers the tools that rock. I mean seriously. I have mentioned this before, but it’s true now more than ever. I […]

Microsoft Security Essentials – Free Anti-Virus

This is the big news today. From what I am reading all over the web anyway. Microsoft has taken the beta version of “Microsoft Security Essentials” anti-virus software out of beta and allowing the public to download it for free. For free? What? I did a little doubletake at this one. I have been looking […]

Goodbye MozyPro And Hello Jungle Disk

I am a backup maniac. I backup and then backup the backup. Then, I seal up the backed up backup, stick it in a safe and plunge the safe in concrete. Even with all that, I will probably lose data eventually. I didn’t get like this overnight. I’ve had…let’s say…experience. You know, it’s strange – […]

Acer Aspire One AOD250-1165 Netbook

I picked up a sweet little gadget the other day. Since Laura is now using the laptop to work on more and more, I thought it might be a good idea to get myself a second laptop. Only, this time I thought about it a little longer than I thought about the previous laptop purchase. […]

Google Earth – You Go Boy

If you don’t already know this about me, I’m a satellite image junkie. I used to be hooked on Google Maps and then graduated to Google Earth. One day, my mother introduced me to Live Maps and it was all over. The bird’s eye view is killer. It’s like you are sitting in a helicopter […]

Twitter Anyone?

I think this is going to be the second and last part of my “Complaining about the Internet” series. I just need to get this one out there. Have you ever heard of Twitter? If so, you’ll know what I am talking about here. If not, I’ll explain what it is to you. Basically, Twitter […]
