As I have said before, I spend a lot of my time fixing problems like printers that don’t print and spyware and malware infections.
And then I have days like today where everywhere I went I was able to do something that made things just a bit easier for the client. 
And it is on days [...]

I had another geek moment the other day.  I was sitting in my spa looking up at the wasps nest that had been getting bigger every day and thought how cool it would be if I could share this with my friends and the world at large.
I ran a few ideas through my head and [...]

A few years back I met my friend Matt Moran online.  We were both answering questions on a tech forum and started an online conversation that lead to a phone conversation.  We have actually met face to face quite a few times as he lives (lived) not too far from my Mother in Arizona.

Way back in the day, twenty something hacks spent all day in their mother’s basement trying to prove to other [...]

I am still working on a Twitter strategy for my business.  I post things every so often on Twitter and those posts are published on my Facebook page.
I have 56 followers, most of whom I believe are real people.  When I get an email telling me that someone is following me, I check to see [...]
