Yup, there’s always something new to learn. That goes double for computing.
Current Internet browsers have tabbed browsing–multiple web pages in multiple tabs, all in one tidy browser window. Click a tab to view. Ctrl-click to open a link in a new tab.
But… if you have a mouse with a clickable scroll-wheel, aka Mouse Button 3, [...]

I didn’t know you could do that!
A Conundrum of Cutting the Cord…
Nirvana for wireless network providers has to be when subscribers start using their network for all their communication needs.
I have many friends who exist, sans a land line, with only a cell phone. And I think that’s just fine until you have to troubleshoot a problem with said cell phone–particulary a smartphone.
Let’s use AT&T Wireless [...]
Switching to iPhone – Day 6
Sync Errors…
If there ever was an example of the colorful acronym, SNAFU (Situation Normal: All F—-D Up), Technology would be the poster child–at least when it gets into my hands.
My wife is frequently telling me that for a guy who makes part of his living as a personal technology consultant, I sure have a lot [...]
Camera Envy
Yes, I admit it. I have a terrible affliction. Some call it genetic, others, a blight upon the soul. Whatever it is, I will acknowledge and take responsibility for it. It is called… dun-dun dunnh!… Camera Envy (notice the caps).
Switching to iPhone – Day 5
Cases & Virtual Keyboarding
Spent an hour in a very crowded NYC Apple store looking to nab a case for my WinMo AT&T Tilt replacement, the new 32 GB iPhone 3GS.
What I found was a whole lotta not much–some were cool, but many crappy. And I mean “what were they thinking!” kind of crappy, too.
After some mildly [...]
Switching to iPhone – Days 3 & 4
Finally, my first couple of work days using my new iPhone. I must admit that i was a bit worried–my phone/PDA is my life-line to the world of the self-employed.
Before we move on, I’d like you to meet my new friend, Toki Tori. More on him after the bump.
Switching to iPhone – Days 1 & 2
Continuing my experience with switching from the Windows Mobile AT&T Tilt to the iPhone 3GS.
Looks & UI
I have to say that while I was pretty impressed with my new, sleek, shiny little toy, the user interface kind of blew me away. “Dead Simple” doesn’t even begin to describe it. Not having to pull out and [...]
Switching to iPhone
Finally got me an iPhone.
I’ve been playing wait-and-see since the 1st gen model came out in ‘07, wanting to give it a chance to flop or mature before I dipped my toes into the Apple mobile pond. I’ve always been a fan of Apple, but I was honestly a bit pessimistic about the 1st gen [...]
AT&T – The Least Dropped Calls… NOT!
I’m checking my email. My mobile phone is sitting on the desk next to my elbow. Suddenly, I get a notification that I have a new voice mail message.
Did I:
Think, “Hmm, that’s funny, it didn’t even ring.”
Say, “That durn AT&T. It would be helpful if they sure got their stuff together.”
Quip, “So many 3G iPhones, [...]
Are You a “Looser”?
As a kid, I read quite a bit and had a decent vocabulary for a brat my age. However, I was a poor speller–eliminated from the 4th grade spelling bee on the word “chihuahua.” Regardless of the fact I couldn’t tell the difference between a chihuahua and a chimichanga, I still was a poor speller.
I [...]
