Republican Texas Senator John Cornyn must have been licking his chops to get on the softball diamond and leg out a double to score another run against the IRS Cheetahs. The game was scheduled for today, but was abruptly canceled by the Cheetahs. It could be that the Cheetahs don’t have enough players. We get it, other responsibilities get in the way in life. It happens in softball. Or it...
New Vikings stadium design and Wookies
The new Minnesota Vikings stadium design has been released. This is all I got. Skol Vikes!
What is a fingerprint scanner? Passwords could be a thing of the past
When was the last time you went to a website you haven’t been to in months or years and attempted to log in? You were forced to think back to last year and your most popular password you used for all your accounts. We’re told to change our passwords often, so if you try to log in with a newer variation of your old password, congratulations, you’re listening. But that still...
Another iPhone screen fixing session
It’s happened yet again. Another cracked iPhone 4S screen has annoyed me enough to the point of spending the time to replace it. I guess when glass chips start falling out near the ear hole, that’s about last you can put it off. I have successfully replaced 6 (count em, 6) iPhone 4S screens. This was one event. And another. Yep, another. A few replacements were for my...
Wireless Booster: Improve your Wi-Fi signal in your home
Preview: Rec10 Wireless Extender by Amped Wireless Does our house or office have a black hole when it comes to wireless internet? I live in a relatively small apartment, a place you’d think would be chalk full of high-speed internet converage from my Wi-Fi connection. Not the case. I actually have a lot of trouble getting a solid internet signal in my bedroom which is about two rooms away...
Primer: Your first, unexpected TV news interview
Oh no, that reporter is looking at me… Don’t pick me, don’t pick me…run. I gotta get out of here, I gotta… Oh hi! Yes, I was standing here and the cars just crashed right in front of me…. STOP. We know you’re annoyed, scared, mad and stressed out. You just saw a horrible accident. You’re having an awful hair day. And, it’s a Monday. The last...
Blair Walsh: Kicking through the NFL
I had the great opportunity of meeting and interviewing Minnesota Vikings kicker Blair Walsh recently. When I learned Blair grew up in Boca Raton, Florida and played football and graduated from Cardinal Gibbons High School in Fort Lauderdale, I knew that South Floridians would have a big interest to learn about what Blair has done in the National Football League in such a short amount of time...
New season. New website.
Hey everyone. Thanks for stopping by the website. I’m doing a little spring cleaning. I’m adding in a new theme and while I generally don’t program and design ‘live’ (since it’s a terrible practice), I’m doing so or a few days to monitor the layout of this new theme. I’m restructuring the way this blog works – more about the good stuff: Tech...
‘Talk to me on your-jpg.com’ scam
I received a very obscure text message this morning asking me to click a link your-jpg.com. First off, anyone texting me at 5:54 in the morning is either A) working the same morning schedule I am and they’re probably looking to vent, B) they have the wrong number, or C) they’re a lunatic. Regardless, the text I got was from none of the above. Well, perhaps C. We’ll get to that...
Bubba Watson stops by Dubsdread
My girlfriend Tara sent me a great video this morning. We recently moved to Miami from Orlando. While in Orlando, I tried to get out and golf as much as possible. Granted, it was never enough, but Orlando was loaded with great golf courses. The closest golf course to our apartment was Dubsdread, an historic, little public course that is just on the outskirts of downtown. It’s fairly easy to...
