I recently found out about T-Mobile’s program, test drive. This program allows you to use an iPhone 5S, which they provide, for a week on their network. All you have to do is provide a credit card. They will put a hold on the card for the amount of $700 plus tax. After a week,…
I wanted to print out some labels using Avery products. They have templates on their website to help create them. Before, I would use Microsoft Word to do these. I’ve been trying to use Google Drive instead as a free alternative and cloud base. I found what I was looking for at the Chrome store…
It’s been a while since my last blog post. We’ve been on a brief hiatus. During our hiatus, we’ve found ourselves needing a portable charger when electricity isn’t available. After coming back, I checked out what was being offered. Newegg put the Lepow Moonstone 3000 on sale for $12.99. I figured it’s worth a try…
After going back to the iPhone, I started to miss using a Mac for my desktop. I have an older iMac but it’s just too slow/old. I have a nice i7 iMac at work but it doesn’t have SSD (once you go SSD, it’s kind of hard to use anything else). I have a very…
I have been using smart phones powered by Android for many years now. My first Android phone was myTouch Slide 3G. It was a great phone with a built-in keyboard. Next, I had the Sensation 4G. Another great phone from HTC. Sense UI is great as well. The third Android phone I had was the…
I recently purchased an Ematic EGP007 from Altatac. It was refurbished and was a very good price. It ran Android 4.0. Upon receiving it, the tablet never worked. I turn it on and it would just freeze during boot up. Altatac refunded my money without any problems, kudos to them. A few days later they…
I’ve been using Amazon S3 service for quite some time. It’s a cost effective service for backing up files in the cloud. You pretty much pay what you use. I mainly use S3 for backing up my photos – both digital and scanned. At the time I wrote this post (June 2013), I am using…
I’ve seen many Youtube videos that are great but the audio quality is poor. It takes away from making the video better. I admit I’ve done some videos with poor audio. I’m not saying I’m a professional at creating videos but I’d like to present them with more effort than usual. So I’ve been trolling…
It’s been a few months since I replaced my refurbished Beats by Dre headphones. Whether refurbished or new I will never buy another one of those headphones. They are overpriced and it doesn’t even sound good. That’s why I bought refurbished just to try it out. Never again! I’ve been hearing great things about the…
I’ve been running the Adaptec 6805 raid card for a few months now and it’s been great. Actually, Adaptec in general has been great. Their tech support is phenomenal, at least from my experience. Today I received an email warning me of a bad block. The message didn’t say much except something happened. I searched…
