Amazon loved their Black Friday sales so much they invented a summer sale to boost sales when we're all escaping the heat. In 2021 the Prime Days deals will primarily be on June 21st and 22nd though a few sales started early and a few will run later. I've tried to...

I know I'm biased, but I think I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. There are others who feel the same way and that means more people have a desire to be here. Today I'm going to tell you about some real estate. Most of you can only dream about it...

There is no doubt Christmas will be very different this year. Santa has to be really careful to keep his mask in place as he slides down all those chimneys. What should he put in the stockings of the good geek girls and boys? We've put together a list of some good...

Recently I sat down for an interview with the folks at Authority Magazine. I was asked a range of questions about how I got started, some of my best tips and even ways to avoid burnout. For those who have followed me for a very long time, you'll learn how I got into...

Our friends at Cnet and ZDNet have put together a wide variety of gift guides. I've shared each of those gift guides below along with links to many of the products on those lists. You'll even see some of the same products on multiple lists. That just tells me they are...

When I wrote the Building A Computer Is Normally Easy But Not Always post, I mentioned a big vacation that I'd describe in a future post. Time to share stories about the vacation. It all came about thanks to a client who made me an offer I couldn't refuse. No, it...

There are few days in a person's life where they know exactly where they were and what they were doing on a day 50 years earlier. Today is one such day for me, though my memory of that day is very limited. I was in Cape Canaveral, Florida to watch Apollo 11 launch...

I've now been living in Loreto, Mexico full-time for five months. It is a wonderful community and many stressful things from Arizona did not follow me here. Contrary to stories you may hear, it is an extremely safe area. In fact, I feel safer here than in anyplace I...

Loyal readers have probably noticed it has been a couple of weeks since the last blog post. Life most certainly got in my way. In the last six months, there has been a lot of transition and living out of a suitcase as I moved from Arizona to Mexico. While much of my...

Before I move to the Baja, I wanted to take a road trip to get to a variety of famous spots and to get to the last two states I had yet to visit. My first stop was fairly close to home and I'd been there once before. Now there is a statue of Glenn Frey along with some...

There are many people who anxiously await Shark Week each year on the Discovery Channel. I'm probably not as addicted to it as others, but I am fascinated by sharks. This got me thinking back to January 2005 when I got the opportunity to dive with sharks. Even better,...

Loyal readers have likely noticed the dearth of posts in the last two months. It was difficult to find free time to create content with multiple moves taking place. Back in March I posted The Open Door Leads Online and South following up on a previous post and telling...

I think all of us have dates that stand out in our lives. For me, that date is March 17, 1993. Yes, it is St. Patrick's Day, but that isn't why the date stands out for me. It was the date when I signed my first CorelDRAW book contract. Twenty years later, I wrote One...

It was a Sunday afternoon in late August and I was going to see a favorite band of mine, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, play a show in Prescott, AZ. I heard that the television studio at AZTV was undergoing a makeover and I snuck in to get a look at their new set. A...

We have a new employee and her role is two parts: bunny security and chief dog food tester. There is a popular phrase that companies need to "eat their own dog food" and we needed an employee in place to take care of that for us. So far Chloe hasn't done a lot of real...
