Digital Scrooge Striking Again?
2007-12-31 03:45:00
Most of us know a friend or someone in the family that has opened an email attachment only to become the latest person to contribute their computer almost willingly to the zombie bot world. I used almost willingly instead of victimized because it’s been over 10 years of solid reporting by the main stream media ...

Error opening ?/media/iPod/iPod_Control/Music? for writing (Read-only file
2007-12-30 23:16:00
I stand corrected. It’s much easier to work with the iPod on Ubuntu Linux if you are working with a Windows format instead of Apple format with that little green brick. I’m currently too busy with a project to explain how to fix this little problem so I’m issuing a raincheck. Don’t worry about the ...

The LED option for outdoor lighting
2007-12-30 21:10:00
Previously I had discussed the pros of using LED lights for your Christmas tree lights. Just as with any smart investment, you begin with a bit more in the initial cost — the idea being that you are rewarded with more in return. Sorta’ makes sense if you think about it for a second. Like ...

We finished the Christmas morning family get together with JaneyBell making donuts and the rest of us chasing the kids. The typical perfect morning ritual - ah, home sweet home.

Exotic Gourmet Coffee
2007-12-16 03:20:00
Coffee Review says it all with the results of their blind taste test. Kenya AA Lenana from the roasters in Lancaster, PA wins wide acclaim. This delicious, fruity and a hint of chocolate bean is an amazing choice for discriminating coffee drinkers. I’m ordering some, actually… once I finish this review. Coffee has been around for over 1,000 years. The coffee “bean” is derived from the berries of a small bush. So they’re actually seeds which are roasted, ground, and brewed. Many of you grab whatever label o’caffeine first catches your eye when you gaze at the grocery store shelves. Others opt for more flavor or variety and will pay dearly for the opportunity to brew and consume distinctive beans with great flavor and aroma. For me — I am all about the taste of a good shot of espresso. When I want caffeine — a quick jolt of liquid glory — I turn to gourmet coffees with powerful flavors. One of my favorite moderate roasts is Cafe S...

Satellite Internet
2007-12-09 00:49:00
Beyond the digital divide lies the “life experience” divide. I’ve seen this in folks, even those in supposedly professional roles. People with online access trump those without, plain and simple. Without Internet access — a group of people are more vulnerable to corrupt one-sided information sources. Around these parts, most would consider anything east of ...
