I have had several moments in my life where I have “almost” forgot my cell phone. Bars, restaurants, even rides at Disney World, have all played a temporary home to my cell phone. I have made the trip the following morning to claim my phone, and amazingly enough I have yet to experience a time [...]

It seems like forever ago when the old “ball” mouse existed. The optical version has made life so much simpler, especially when you don’t have to remove the ball and clean around the inside every two or three days. You can even use these newer versions on almost any surface around, eliminating the need for [...]

I am not a fan of text messages. My thirteen year old daughter chooses this as her main source of communication. One day, I actually saw on the bill she had over 1,000 text messages, and yet zero talk minutes. I asked her “You do realize it’s a phone, right?” For me, I hate having [...]
