A Month with Google Reader

  • 1 Nov, 2006

Happy Halloween

Here it is Halloween time again. This year we bought kids carving kits and carved some great pumpkins. We choose not to get the adult carving kits as they are always way to hard. I’ve tried them in the past and it’s never any fun. The kids ones however worked out quite nicely. Not sure […]

Apple Stores are Brilliant

  • 18 Oct, 2006

As I stand here in the Southdale Apple Store, I can’t but think about how great it was that Apple brought products and support to the people. You can’t get this kind of support over the phone. So what happened? Well my hard drive gave out this morning on my iMac G5. I immediately tried […]
