How Rugged Is Your Cell Phone?

For the digital native, multi-tasking is innate; they hardly ever concentrate their attention on just one thing. I’d say that I fall in between a digital native and a digital immigrant, growing up as the Internet became popular. I picked up the habit of multi-tasking. It’s a more efficient use of time.

Trademarked Tree

Yesterday, I decided to visit the Cliff House area and when I was there I browsed the gift shop. They were selling postcards, greeting cards, gift cards, and framed prints made by the Haus Maus company.

Hello World… Again

I wrote my first post in the blogosphere four years ago today. Also having celebrated the tenth anniversary of my AIM screen name last month, I decided it’s time for a change: a new blog… on technology, life with it, and the generation that uses it.

If It’s Not Real, Does It Have Value?

In my youth I had a chance to get something I wanted. I went through a huge toy phase and decided on to get a Slinky because I was so fascinated with them. I would put it on top ledge of the stairs send it down the stairs and I was amused. [...]
