Help for running out of phone space
Are you constantly running out of space on your Android phone or your iPhone? Yeah, me too! This time we’ll discuss why you might be running out of space and how to deal with it.
An antidote to stress in Greece
It’s a long plane ride to Athens and the Greek Islands. In many ways it’s a trip back in time. I’ve had the good fortune to have traveled to many parts of the world, but Greece, never, yet it’s always been on my bucket list.

He was sitting outside his home on a tiny patio, wearing a fedora and smoking a cigar. He had a portable music player sitting beside him, and he looked as if he was enjoying the September sunshine about as much as anyone could.

Things today’s kids are missing
Yeah, I know. Another old guy yammering about the old days. Well, it’s my site and I can yammer all I want. You ain’t the boss of me.
