Phones are Highly Personal
This statement may seem obvious, but still need to be proven by science. I don’t know about you (well, actually I do according to this study), but when I’m without my phone I panic. Where is it? I’d be much more upset about misplacing my phone than my wallet. That dreaded 1% battery sign means […]
Your iPhone Can Block Spam Text Messages
The only thing more annoying than junk phone calls is junk texts. I don’t know why, but they seem like the biggest violation to me. Fortunately, Apple heard our cries and introduced the ability to block spam messages on your phone. The tricky part is you need to download a program to help you do […]
How to Block Scammers and Telemarketers on Your iPhone
Since Apple introduced iOS 10, they’ve included a way to identify and block annoying calls. They haven’t advertised this feature well and that’s a shame. If you’re using a newer AT&T iPhone, I recommend their Call Protect app. It blocks calls from even ringing your phone. I’m using it on my iPhone SE and love […]
Why we Don’t do iPhone Repairs: Another Reason

Should You Install Windows 10? No!

Most broken iPhone accidents happen…in the kitchen
Infographics are always fun as they easily tell a statistical story visually and these two infographics from iPhone repair company Squaretrade say quite a bit. The key points of the study are that the most dangerous place to use an iPhone is in the kitchen. Ouch. And if you’ve left your phone on the top […]
You Will! Using Technology to grow and manage your business
Remember the “fantasy” commercials for 1993-1994 called “You Will” by AT&T Here are the videos all at once on YouTube Most of the technology “dreamed” about in the video is so commonplace that at first glance you might skip over it. Things such as long distance learning with voice and video, tele-medicine, GPS and paying […]
Fifth Day of Christmas: Car Mount for your gadgets
This device isn’t as cool, but it’s really practical. Anyone who uses their phone in the car a lot needs a safe and easy way to access it. While many newer cars have bluetooth capabilities, they don’t have a really good place to keep your phone. Even if you don’t have to hold the phone […]
Less of me around town, and the trend will continue!
So after 10 weeks I’m finally done with the ScaleDown Challenge. This was probably one of the hardest things I can ever remember doing.
