I was happy to spend some of Christmas with my grandparents. They move stiffly these days, wisely searching for help before they walk or wheelchair across the room.

What is it with phones and voice mail? Think about your different phone systems. I have the work phone, the cell phone, and the home phone. All have different messaging systems. All have different key combinations to erase, skip, play again, save, etc. And a few have some partial crossover and that can help sometimes, [...]
Listening to music has always been important to me. I have a photo of me at age four, silly hat atop my head, rocking in my chair, listening to a record player that also played movies. (If you comment, maybe I’ll post the picture ) It’s there (updated 12/13). People have always asked me if [...]
In a previous post, Twitter was one of the things I didn’t get. Yesterday, I spent some time with Twitter and although we’re not great friends, I’d say we’re now acquaintances. I’m not yet the fan that Dave is, but I will say that playing with Twitter was fun. What is Twitter? My take on [...]
