A new desk design

This is a really cool idea, and it’s one that is fairly obvious to the point where you wonder why you didn’t think of it. This comes from the mind of a recent graduate of a design school. It’s an office desk that incorporates plants to create a cubicle atmoshpere. Not only does it provide [...]

Verizon to get the iPhone … eventually

Well, this is good news for me if no one else. My wife loves the iPhone, but I prefer Verizon’s network and quality. So, for the longest time, we’ve had two separate cellular accounts in the house with not a break in site. Now comes news that Apple is working on an iPhone that will [...]

When you need to the find the right person…NOW

Apparently some people just need a date real bad. We’ve all heard of party crashers and the Vince Vaughn movie Wedding crashers made it seem cool. But there seems to be a new breed of crasher: internet singles crasher. The major matchmaking sites like match.com advertise on TV, so we know they’re out there, but [...]

Bathroom gadgets, part 2

For an encore to yesterday’s bathroom mirror TV, comes a more practical bathroom gadget from PCWorld. This little guy is called a smart faucet. It uses facial recognition to adjust the water temperature and flow to your specific settings.  There’s also a touch screen that allows you to access email,  weather and other stuff.  I [...]

Could you really do this?

It seems that no part of human life is out of the reach of technological advances.  PCWorld listed a number of technological advances for the most private of sanctuaries in one’s home; the bathroom.  In particular, this one caught my eye.  I love watching TV as much as the next person, but how long are [...]

The reason for this? Free wi-fi hotspots are becoming more prevalent and it also eases the amount of [...]

Internet scams to be aware

As much as I try to stay in touch with the wheelings and dealings of this electronic community, there are certain things I just don’t know. For instance, I was reading a story by Bob Sullivan who details prevalent internet scams.  I had no idea that FBI impersonators are a very common scam.  You would [...]

This just makes sense

This is an old story, but it’s one that I think bears repeating. Oregon just implemented a handheld cell-phone ban in vehicles at the beginning of this year.  Some people got in a tizzy about it naturally and some probably still are.  But I see the reasoning for it. I live in Illinois near Chicago, and [...]

Daydreaming is good for you

This news is both an employee’s best friend and a boss’ worst nightmare.  According to a study by New York University, daydreaming helps develop the brain’s memory and thought processes. Now, you have to be awake for this, sleeping is not part of the program.  So, the next time your boss catches you staring into [...]

Have you seen this?

I am not one of those people who hates change, I really don’t. Change is good for us, it keeps us on our toes, it forces us to learn and grow. But, there are just some changes that are too much. Drastic, sudden change is the change I don’t like.  Why do I rant like [...]
