Update! I have updated this tutorial to include MacOS Sierra which is a free download from Apple for all Mac users. I’ve owned many Macs. And thanks to my endless knack for figuring things out on my own, I’ve clogged up the majority of them with useless software, damaging commands, adware, duplicate files and just about anything else you can add to a hard drive to slow it to a...
Note: This post uses ‘Bloggerration’ – a narrated blog post. If you’re on the run, in the car or using this post as a tutorial, just hit play and go about your business! It seems more and more people are using their iPad these days as a replacement for ALL of their computers. Why not, they’re handy. Sure, they’re limited in what options can be displayed on some...
I was trying to fall asleep last night by doing the worst thing you can do – surf the web on your iPad and generate ideas. Ideas are sleep’s nightmare. I wasn’t about to fall asleep even though that’s what I desperately wanted, so instead, I read about some neat things I’m planning on tackling.

We do what we do every year – get all dressed up for no apparent reason, make food, watch (more like hear) fireworks outside on our balcony and ring in the new year quietly. We’ve never been big on shelling out ‘Miami-Cash’ for a night out on New Year’s Eve. We could hear Pitbull’s...
The last of the Metrodome Today is bittersweet. The Vikings of Minnesota are playing the Lions of Detriot in the last game at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Update: The Vikings won the game 14-13 over the Lions). It’s actually ‘Mall of America Field’. But to Minnesotans, it’s always been called The Dome. It’s bittersweet because many are happy to see it go...
Tis’ that time of year again. I’m back in good ol’ Scandia, Minnesota for ‘early Christmas’. I can’t remember the last time I’ve celebrated Christmas on its actual day. While in the TV News business, I rarely had Christmas off. Now that I am in a ‘commercial break’ from the business, I have all the time in the world. But my girlfriend...
Twitter has come a long way since its inception. In the early days, if you followed someone, they followed you back just because they were excited someone actually followed them. If you posted a link, they’d likely click on it because the concept of a ‘tweet’ was new to them. It was exciting to click on links. Today is much different. With over 555,000,000 Twitter users...

I’m back with some more life hacks. For those of you who haven’t heard the term, I’ll remind you once again: Life hack, or ‘life hacking’ is any productivity trick, shortcut, skill, or novelty method to increase productivity and efficiency, in all walks of life; in other words, anything that solves an everyday problem in a clever or non-obvious way. But I’m already tired...
