Seriously trivial thoughts
Once upon a time, I had two Facebook accounts. I wanted to have one for family and another for a “cooler” group of friends. I even had a blog entry on how to post to multiple Facebook accounts haha. At some point, it got to be too much of a hassle and I decided my …
I’ve been using a theme on another site that uses the WordPress plug-ion Pirate Forms for its contact form. The problem was that although it would say that the email was sent, the email never arrived. It took me a while, but I finally figured out the problem with Pirate Forms. When it creates the …
Several years ago many of the famous and semi-famous geeks started to get these comicbook-looking avatars. Thinking it was some sort of Photoshop filter, I did a half-hearted search but didn’t really figure out how it was done. Recently, I found out that they were actually drawn by an artist that goes by the name …
If you’ve got some time, here’s an interesting slide deck from former Yahoo board member Michael Wolf on the future of tech and media. Wolf says that the average American spends more time on tech and media then sleeping, and predicts that messaging will blow past social networking. Here’s a link to the presentation on Business …
I’ve used many podcatchers through the years and had been using (and liking) Downcast of late.

I thought I’d share my thoughts on the newly announced iPad Pro. I like the option of using a stylus…errr pencil. This positions the Pro as a laptop-replacement device; however, iOS just doesn’t handle massive amounts of files efficiently. You need to be able to natively connect a 2TB portable USB drive or at least an SD …
I was up until 4AM getting my new iPhone 6S up and running. It was the worst kind of nightmare: the kind when you’re awake and thus can’t wake up out of it!
For the most part, the Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 8.1 seems more like a patch than an entire version upgrade. Everything seemed to work the same as it always had. Yeah, I know there are some significant changes, but it’s not as if you feel it’s totally new…like the jarring change from Win 7 to …
Initially, I went with the MoKo case for my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 because it was the style I had liked on my iPads. However, with the magnetic keyboard attached, when everything is closed, you end up with two flaps over the screen and it’s just too big and bulky. For my iPad, I have switched to a …
