I am going to show you something

If you have never lost your laptop power cord down behind your desk, or if your iPod cable has never disapeared into the twilight zone, or your USB cable has never done a mating dance with your phone charging cable then this post is not for you. Nothing to see here. I am surprised to […]

The coolest nerdiest idea of the week

Google prints your message and an envelope with a map highlighting driving directions between the From: and the To: […]

3D – How much you gonna spend?

In the consumer technology field today there is nothing with more buzz than 3D. This isn’t the first time. 3D movies have been around since the 1890s – that’s right 1890 with a 1-8 (sorry Avatar you are over 100 years late).

I didn’t forget about my wingman

OK so I put together a killer gaming system.  I know what at least one of you is thinking “hey, what about your wingman, um, winggirl?”  The one who used to watch me play Warcraft (the original from 1994).  At 5 or 6 I taught her to play Warcraft and Warcraft II.  I set up […]

Get your Goo on

 

As all three of you know, I am a gamer.  I have been playing computer games for 30 years (yes they had computers that long ago).  It’s fair to say I have seen more than my fair share of electronic entertainment efforts.  I have one I would like to share with you.

I have the POWER
