A Bad Year for Computers (And It’s Only April)

It’s funny how we sometimes get locked into one mode of thinking, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary. For example, when we were first planning our Hawaii trip, I decided that the best option for taking photos was to use my iPhone.  At the time, I thought I could purchase some […]

A Weekend of US-based Technology

Too Many Tabs Tuesday
