FM Transmitter

I like to listen to my MP3 player in my car. For years I’ve done this using a tape converter inserted in the car’s tape player. This is no longer working. I’ve tried three tape converters and they just are not working. Two made loud clacking or squeaking noises and the tape player keeps ejecting [...]

Free Audio Book Download

I’ve known for some time, as you probably have, that iTunes has a free song available for downloading each Tuesday. I never used to remember to check out the song, so I think in the time I’ve remembered to check I’ve only downloaded three songs. They select too much garbage! (Is Amazon’s new music service [...]

Video Laughs

What’s the Internet these days without some video laughs? Here are two videos that really made me laugh today.

The first one is on another blog, so here’s the link. See if you can dance as well as the cockatoo. (TL will particularly like this one and perhaps will post a dancing Garth for us to [...]

iPod touch Test

I’ve never posted from a mobile device before and I don’t know that I’m fast enough typing with an iPod touch that I’ll be doing this very often. However, everything, or many things, should be tried at least once!

Yes the iPod touch I ordered with my Apple rebate arrived this morning! It’s so awesome!! I’m [...]

E-books

Today in the Chicago Tribune one of their columnist wrote about reading his first e-book on his Blackberry. If I remember correctly the columnist, Steve Johnson, covers television and the Internet, so I think we’re safe to call him a techie. And what did this techie choose as his first e-book? A recent bestseller, such [...]

Jane MacBook Pro Austen

Saturday, when I was screen testing at the Apple store, I discovered a Jane Austen reader…they’re everywhere…just as they should be.

There I was, popping DVDs into the laptops at the Apple store, when Saleswoman Terri came over. "Oh, you brought your own DVDs. Women shoppers always come prepared!"

When I popped Pride [...]

Time to Update?

I’ve been saying for sometime that I need a new laptop. Why? Mainly because I purchased my current laptop in March of 2001. Yes, it shocks even me; I didn’t realize it was six-years old. I like my Toshiba Portege 7200, like the one in the image here. The laptop is lightweight, with a great [...]

Non-Printerless

I couldn’t think of what word would be the opposite of yesterday’s subject “Printerless” and still have the correct context. For example, “Printable” isn’t the right context. So I coined my own phrase, “Non-Printerless.”

Last night after I uploaded my post about the network and printer issues, I re-booted everything again and voila — it all [...]

Printerless

I can’t print anything. This is not good. I can’t even print my corporate quarterly tax liability reports…even if I do them online, I can’t print copies. This is not good. Somehow I don’t think the I.R.S. will take "I can’t print anything" as a reason for missing a tax deadline. Just like a teacher [...]
