KIN TWOm Pointers
Marie and I have been Verizon customers for a long time. We’ve actually never been with another provider. Sometimes I feel like I’m married to Verizon. “Til death do us part.” Anyway. Not important. It was time for us to upgrade our phones, so last week I started my standard research ritual. I see what [...]
READ MORE »Hitting the Limit with Pandora
Well, today, for the first time, I hit my 40 hour listening limit on Pandora. So I ponied up and paid the 99 cents to have unlimited listening for the rest of the month. Totally worth it for the price of one song. My big question is whether I should upgrade to Pandora One. I [...]

Super pumped that starting today, I won’t have to use my Netflix disc in my Wii any longer.

Well, after many years of talking about it, I finally have all of my data on a regular backup schedule. I have two internal and one external hard drives on my desktop, and an internal hard drive in my laptop – all of which have important data (i.e., I’d be sunk if I lost most [...]

From CNET News Blog: Dell.com customers buying an XPS system, Inspiron notebook or Dimension desktop can select a “no software preinstalled” option. This will eliminate productivity, ISP, photo and music software, but not everything. I’ve been waiting to hear this for quite some time. Glad to see they’re finally allowing you to opt out of [...]
READ MORE »RSS in Plain English
Read a great post over at eMinistryNotes this morning about explaining RSS in plain English. I’ve taken a stab at it on our church’s website before, but this video (from CommonCraft) does a great job explaining things. Check it out.
