18 years is a hell of a long time to wait without answers. I can’t imagine how the family of former television news anchor Jodi Huisentruit must truly feel. I’ve talked with a few of them over the years and we stay in touch, but to deal with the pain and agony of not knowing where a loved one is, must truly be the worst nightmare anyone can face. Jodi was abducted 18 years ago today...
I’ve always been a fan of a really good suit. I can’t say I’ve owned anywhere near the best kind of suit a guy can buy, but I’m happy with some I currently own. The best kind of suit in my opinion is custom-made. But for me, it’s hard to find suits that fit without a lot of work thanks to my long arms and torso. It took me several years of discounted Hugo Boss...
[dropcap]F[/dropcap]or two and a half years, Instagram has allowed users to channel their inner Ansel Adams to snap, filter and post beautiful pictures whether it’s a crisp, complex black-and-white landscape or a simple, self-absorbed ‘selfie‘. Whatever your flavor, Instagram has changed the way people tell their stories online by displaying beautiful images in a stream for most...
Lebron James rolled up to the AmericanAirlines Arena Friday to take on the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Upon doing so, he came across this 5-year-old at an intersection. I wondered what they chatted about. And yes, Lebron’s teeth were clearly fresh and clean for the game. Leave a guest comment below.
Welcome to Thursday! You’ve almost made it to the weekend. In today’s installment of the GeekLift, I’m going to try to wean you off that old fax machine. Yes, they still come in handy from time to time, but they’re really not necessary. I’ll teach you a two-fer: digitize your signature and use it with PDFs so you can dump that fax. I also have some quick nuances to...
I had a buddy text me the other night wondering if there was a way to make Google Maps default in iPhone. If you’ve used Apple Maps for any stretch of time, you’ve probably been misguided at some point. It’s happened to me several times. Apple Maps tried to send through a brick wall….literally. Yes, Apple Maps is pretty. But I need it to work and get me where I need to go...
The big story Friday was the Shuckers restaurant deck collapse in South Florida. The restaurant is located a very small town called North Bay Village – very close to Miami. The restaurant is known for it’s back patio on the pier of Biscayne Bay. Boats and Jet Skis cruise by as patrons enjoyed the sun and breeze coming off the water. But Friday, the scene wasn’t nearly as serene...
Lately I’ve noticed I have far too many iPhone charger plugs than I do cords. Most cords fall victim to strangulation – overuse and twisting that eventually damages the cord fibers near the plug of the cord. Alas, a solution. Check out my latest fine for a very simple fix to prevent ‘neck-breaking’ your iPhone cords. Granted, a pen loses its life, but...
Good Thursday to you! We’re almost to Friday and that is fantastic news. There has been a lot of buzz on the web about Facebook embracing hashtags. If you’re not up on hashtags and how you can use them to search, I’ve got you covered. Also, if you like to search the web and would rather not have people see what you’re searching I have a tool for you for that as well...
We recently covered a sad story of a French tourist who disappeared into the waters off of Miami Beach. His body was found a few hours later. He was the victim of a strong rip current and simply couldn’t make it back to shore. I consider myself a pretty good swimmer. I was fortunate enough to have grown up with a swimming pool. My parents put me through swimming lessons as a kid. I love to...
