We are now customers of AT&T’s Wireless Home Phone service and are very happy with it.  We had this installed yesterday, March 26, 2013 and I must say it works very well. It uses the AT&T Wireless network to call but it has a dial tone like a normal home phone. What we did was [...]

The day has arrived where I did the unthinkable.  Today my wife, son, and I bought an iPhone 4 and switched our service over to AT&T.  This was a painful decision for me and I hope it was the right one.  I have been very critical of Apple’s products over the years and yet it [...]

If you are one of those technology enthusiasts like I am, you may watch or listen to This Week in Tech (TWiT). I was listening yesterday, March 27, 2011, when they had Bob Heil on as a special guest on one of their podcasts called Triangulation. They use his microphones on the TWiT podcasts so [...]

Most people that I know that are into technology have one thing in common and that is their hatred for AT&T. I am no different because I have similar feelings.  Since I live in the world of the former Baby Bell, Southwestern Bell, SBC, and now the NEW AT&T I can tell you that it is [...]

  Being a gadget person living in times like this gives many opportunities to get excited.  This year has seen its share of new toys for technology nuts like myself.  One could argue that Facebook was the biggest of all even though it was out before 2010.  Facebook surpassed the 500,000,000th user this year, that [...]

I just installed the new Internet Explorer 9.0 beta and this is what I saw from the moment I launched it.  I could not close it through normal means.  I had to Ctrl+Alt+Del and end task on it several times to close it down.  I was getting really irritated that I could not close it [...]

Sometimes bad things happen to good people.  That is what I tell myself since I received this horrible news.  How is a person supposed to go on after such traumatic information?  I am likely to miss work while I seek psychiatric treatments in an effort to help me deal with such a loss.  Just kidding!

It is no secret that I have been fascinated with computers, networking, programming, among other things associated with the information technology (IT) world since the 1980’s.  I had planned to follow the IT field since I was a teenager and spend hundreds if not thousands of hours studying the new technologies over time.  In fact [...]

As most of you know, I use Gmail as my main email client.  I think what convinced me to go with them initially was the ability to archive messages so that I can come back to them at a later date if I choose.  It also archives chat conversations through Google Talk.  It seems like [...]
