While some folks are enjoying days and days off this holiday season, some of us have to work (grumble, grumble, grinch, grumble..) but it doesn’t mean that we can’t take a little time to flex the old grey matter by indulging in some good books. Thanks to Sara raiding my Amazon wish lists, these 4 [...]
xPrintServer – Must Have Device For iOS Printing On Windows Networks
December 27, 2012 By 2 Comments
I just finished installing the Office Edition of the Lantronix xPrintServer on a clients network, and I must admit to being very impressed with it. xPrintServer is a tiny little device (smaller than an iPhone, but thicker) that you plug into your network, which acts as a intermediary between your network printers and your iOS [...]
Stormageddon Week 7 (Video)
December 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment
We had an interesting an unexpected trip to the OB/GYN today after Sara started spotting. What we originally believed to be a possible bladder infection resulted in a bit of a scare when they told Sara needed to have a transvaginal ultrasound, but every turned out to be perfectly fine and Stormageddon is on course [...]
Dude, You’re Gonna Be A Dad! (Video)
December 14, 2012 By 2 Comments
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m about to become a father for the very first time. This has led me to hunt out reading material so I can learn from, and hopefully not repeat the mistakes of others. This video is a quick update on where Sara and I are and an endorsement of the book [...]

Independent consulting can be a [...]
Blow Me – One Thing I Never Want To See If You Repair My Computer
November 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Everybody who’s ever done any kind of work with computer hardware knows just how much of a pain in the backside dust buildup can be, and how potentially damaging it can be over time. That’s exactly why I was a more than a little surprised to see a clients computer come in from being repaired [...]
Attack Of The Clones
November 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment
The cloning process has begun. Honestly I’m incredibly shocked and still in denial that my beautiful Sara would even want to create minions with me, but I guess every evil empire has to start somewhere right? I’d love to write more, about how terrified I am, shocked, excited, happy… (and did I mention terrified?), but [...]
Blogging Without A Contact Form = You Miss Out
November 20, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I’ve said it before, and I’ll damn well say it again – “If you don’t have a contact form on your blog or site, you’re not worth my time following”. Having spent a large part of this morning building a contact list of local bloggers for outreach, I’m shocked by how many don’t have even [...]
