I first heard Etta James sing her classic “At Last” when I was in high school I believe. I always preferred movie soundtracks because you got a variety of songs across genres and it was a way for me to explore my musical tastes before streaming radio like Pandora or Spotify. Most recently the immortal [...]

LOOKOUT! It’s an App-alanche! With multiple Kindles in our family and multiple Android devices, I’ve come across a little bit of an issue opportunity for Amazon to really improve something. Amazon needs to improve app management across users and multiple devices. I’ve got an Android phone with the Amazon App Store application installed. I also [...]

With the chilly weather descending upon Indianapolis this week, I’m really starting to miss this place more and more.

There’s a company that’s been around so long that anyone reading this hasn’t known of a world without their products. That company is Johnson & Johnson and their name has become almost synonymous with keeping us clean, healthy and feeling good. I recently received a “Healthy Essentials” shipment from Johnson & Johnson of products to [...]

I’ve had my Kindle Fire now for a couple of months and am still very happy with the device and all the things it can do for me. Shortly after getting the Kindle Fire, I was looking for a good case to use with it and Targus contacted me about trying out their Targus Truss [...]

I have a laptop computer setup on our main TV in our living room. The kids use this laptop to access their math curriculum for homeschool each day. I normally have been connecting to the laptop to grade their work and record their process by using Microsoft Terminal Services (a.k.a. Remote Desktop Connections) to access [...]

If you’re active on Twitter and in the Indianapolis area, then you’re probably familiar with the name Tod Esquivel. If you’re not familiar with him, you’ve probably been followed by one of his personas instead. Perhaps you’ve seen one of his Twitter account avatars shown below. Every time I get a new notification that I’m [...]

A little before Christmas I received an email from Sam with a company called ooShirts. They are a custom t-shirt printing company out on the West Coast and offered me a couple of free shirts to see their product and let some people know about it on my blog. So, I responded and gave them [...]

When I left the house today there was something missing from my driveway. It’s been there for years now and I had come to rely on it being there for quite some time. Last night they came and took away my 1996 Toyota Camry. If I remember correctly I purchased the car from a friend [...]

It was 2191 days ago today that things continued to develop along a course that would change my career. Originally they didn’t impact too much of my “full-time” gig, but the desires and hopes for what I started all those years ago has definitely impacted where I’m at today and what I’m doing with my [...]

One of the things I love is playing frisbee. I can throw one pretty far too. I’ve seen some pretty impressive throws and catches but I’ve never seen anything like this before. A guy on a bridge throws a frisbee off of the bridge and into the bay where one of his teammates jumps out [...]

I’ve had my sights set on a Kindle e-reader device since they first came out. I’ve also exhibited some serious patience since that time for having not splurged a purchased one for myself up to this point. Now I’m the proud owner of my own Kindle Fire device and this post will share some of [...]
