Why is finding books so hard in iOS book apps?

  • 20 Feb, 2013

I can’t quite figure out why the three leading eBook companies make it so hard to find books on the iPad. The other day my daughter wanted a princess book so I opened up iBooks on the iPad and searched. I could search for books in the store, but, much to my surprise, I could not […]

Props to Microsoft for making a sweet Internet Explorer Ad

  • 25 Jan, 2013

Microsoft seems to have hired a good advertising company for Internet Explorer. The recent ads have been pretty good and their recent ad is kinda awesome. How do you reach your target audience? Well with sweet 90s references of course. Sadly, after this pretty sweet ad, I remember than IE for Mac died in 2003. Oh […]

I’ve decided that my iMac is just to distracting for writing. I’ve got Twitter, Facebook and email notifications just to name a few. And then there is my desk. It’s nice but it’s quite a mess usually. Plus I can see the TV and it’s just all a little distracting. So I’ve decided to pull […]

How to control your Android’s ringtone and notification volumes separately.

  • 10 Sep, 2012

I hate when people’s phones rings at work. Especially since it usually happens when they’re not at their desk. I think that phones should be silent so they don’t bother everyone else. However, on the flip side, I like to have alerts on so that things like calendar notifications remind me of when my next meeting is. […]

So many ROMS

I’m not sure if I should love or hate ROMs on Android. It seems that every other week or so I find a new cool ROM to install. Then I waste the next few hours, or days, getting it installed and configured like I want. This is kind of awesome because I’m not limited. I […]
