Beware of Scam Sites
We have all seen the fake duplicated accounts on social media. We know the tell tale signs of knowing how they are fake, but why are we all still falling victim to them and fake websites? I don’t have an easy answer. I guess we are all just so used to using the web we…

Handiest of Handy Tools
This little screwdriver set is the best one I have ever had. Seriously. I needed to dissect a dead harddrive and needed a star shaped screwdriver. I could have gotten a just a set of those (for more money) but grabbed this set instead even though I already had the flat and the cross heads.…

Tis the Season….Scam Season That Is

Think I Have Learned a Valuable Lesson
OK, last night I spent all that time driving home playing with the Dragon Naturally Speaking App on my phone thinking it would help me get my ideas out of my head and onto “paper” so to speak. Well, all it did was teach me a very valuable lesson. DO NOT USE YOUR PHONE AT…
