On My iPad
Fraser Spiers, the god of iPad in Education, wrote a great post about the amazing apps out there on iOS and how he's using his Mac less and less. I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm using my Mac less,...
Caption Please: iPad Camera
When we were in New York City back in November, we went up to the 86th floor observatory of the Empire State Building. We were 320 meters high. And we saw this guy. I had to get a picture of him, and...
Books I Read in 2011
One of my 2011 goals was to read at least one book every month. Audiobooks (denoted with a *) qualified as "reading", and since I was commuting a long way in my car for much of the year, I read a lot...
Will With Trains
Over the Christmas holiday, I had the chance to take some photos of my adorable nephew really enjoying himself playing with his Thomas the Train set. Later that day, I set up my HO scale electric trai...
Achievement Unlocked: Read the Bible Through in 2011
Last year I wrote about some goals that I had for 2011. While I didn't achieve all of them, I did finished reading the Bible through this morning. I am proud of this, but I don't say it to boast about...
How to Change Lync Server File Store Location
I recently had to move our Lync Server 2010 File Store to another server, and I ran into problems. We had it on the SQL server that was running our Lync databases. That wasn't particularly a problem,...

Public Transportion in Greater Atlanta
Ever since I came to Atlanta, I was always convinced that public transportation here is pretty terrible. This is evident to anyone to takes a quick look at the map of MARTA. Just compare the MARTA map...
Henry Ford on Learning
I came across this quote while reading my devotional from June 9th (yeah, I'm slightly behind). "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young....
On Learning...
Over the past few months I did a little bit of iPhone programming at work, and being such a novice in the area of Cocoa programming, I looked around for a more focused selection of podcasts to listen...
Digital Retina Exam
I recently got my eyes checked so that I could get new specs. This practice was pretty cool for a couple of reasons. They are open late on some weekdays to accommodate more people who don't want to ta...
Goals for 2011
I decided I should make a list of pseudo-resolutions for myself for 2011. Life has changed a lot recently (for the better, by far), and I need to focus on doing fewer things better. By posting the lis...
I Just Saved Blue Like Jazz
Ok, I didn't save Blue Like Jazz, but I helped out a little bit. In short, a friend of mine, Zach Prichard (actually, he's one of my brother's former roommates), and a friend of his recently read on D...
iPad Car Mode
I have been enjoying the beta of iOS 4.2 on my iPad for a while. Ever since the audio jack on my 2nd generation iPod Touch went bad, I have been using my Droid Incredible to listen to Audible audioboo...
So Long, Clear WiMax...
I shipped my Clear WiMax devices back to Clear today. It was fun while it lasted. See my previous post about my experiences with them. Overall I say that Clear is great, except you start to feel its s...
