b5media Hits its Payoff
One of the most rewarding professional experiences of my life was the time that I spent as a professional blogger with the b5media network. From my first days on the network I was immediately pulled into be a part of the b5 family and it really was a family. So much encouragement, support and challenge from people who really wanted to see you do the best you could do because they knew that was the key for the company to be successful. During my time at b5 I wrote on up to seven sites …

What to Look For in Phishing Scams
Here's a little public service announcement for everyone. Many of you may already be aware of this, but I'm thinking there may be a few people that see this link on my Facebook wall that this information may come in handy. My general rule of thumb for most of my computer activity related to email and attachments I receive is to not trust ANY email from anyone at first glance. This has generally kept me fairly safe for over the last decade as I haven't experienced any kind of debilitating …

Customizing the App Launcher Tab in Google Chrome
If you're using Google Chrome as your browser, you may be familiar with the "Apps" blank tab display when you open a new tab or window in your browser.

Celebrating 13 Years of Marriage
Today is my 13th wedding anniversary. Apparently, the 13 year mark should be commemorated with something in lace. Not sure about that, but there will at least be a dinner on the agenda.

I've shared this a number of times with people, so now I can start pointing them back to my website for all the details. Well, here it is. I'm sure all of you have been waiting for me to add this …

Brother P-Touch Still Sticking Strong and Spreading
It's been a few month now that I wrote about our family giving the Brother P-Touch Labeler a try in our house. We decided to put it through the gauntlet of our organizing efforts around our homeschooling resources. We made labels with the labeler and affixed them to storage bins, shelving, drawers and just about anything else we could think of to help us stay organized. I can say that after almost 6 months on the job, these labels are still holding up strong. Many times my experience with …

Google Replaces Android Market with Google Play
Have you visited the Android Market recently? If so, then you're aware Google has made a little change to how they've organized their content for your mobile device. There's now a website called Google Play that brings together movies, music, books as well as apps & games in one place. It's a nice and clean interface. Whenever I need to do a bunch of app management for my phone I always try to remember to get it done through the online portal to my Android phone. It makes it very easy …

Do you ever have one of those days where something's just not right with your computer and you can't figure out what it is? You've scanned everything with your own security applications but none of them really caught anything that you were expecting. Sometimes you want to scan it with something …
