How do you feel when you’re at a public place, like a Starbucks, and you search for a wireless network and you are given a few options, leading you to choose the one that you get as a benefit of being a subscriber. At this Starbucks in Troy, MI, for instance, I was given the […]

“Water, it never gets old!”
The other day, we were all driving in the car, perhaps on the way to Easter at my mom’s house after visiting my dad at the cemetery. Christopher asks Michelle for some water and says, “Water, it never gets old!” Man, that guy….
Dropbox adds convenience for business users
We use Dropbox at work and I also use Dropbox personally. Prior to just recently, to use both of my Dropbox accounts, I had to use DropboxPortableAHK alongside the standard Dropbox client (for Windows). It worked about 99.8% as well as I wanted it to.
