Here’s an update on my Obi110 with Google Voice project. We have been using this $50 box with the free Google Voice service for several weeks now and it is working great. In fact, it is working much better than the VOIP provider I had been paying $25/month for several years. I added enhanced 911 [...]
I am always on the lookout for great Bible software. For years I used e-Sword on my Windows Mobile 5 PDA. On my Droid, I used Cadre Bible for several months. A few weeks ago, I found an excellent web-based Bible with tons of options and utilities. It’s called You Version, at www.youversion.com. My favorite [...]
The new WordPress app is available in the Android Markplace. It looks really slick.
I got a Droid. I must say, this is the coolest piece of tech I have seen for a long time. I am posting this from my Droid using the wpToGo app. This brings back memories of my Commodore Amiga. I can’t wait to write code for it.
I was reading Mashable this afternoon and found a post on HootSuite. It’s so good, I think it should be called HootSweet. It’s like TweetDeck, but it’s web-based.

It looks like broken laptop power jacks are a common thing. In one Google ad strip on my blog there are ads for two different places that will repair a jack for $125. I fixed mine for three bucks! Thank you, RadioShack. I think I’ll pass on asking a Toshiba Technician for help! If anyone [...]
I got my broken laptop back today. It took 12 days round-trip to have the repair do nothing. While I was waiting, I ordered an off-brand power adapter from eBay for $13, shipping included. I plugged it in and it works. The power jack is very use, but for now it is working with the [...]
Here’s an update on my Toshiba Satellite L305-5921 warranty repair fiasco. The online status at the repair depot remained unchanged since Friday. Three updates appeared today including one that said “Sent to tech room”. I was hopeful that Toshiba decided to honor the warranty on the laptop. I emailed the repair depot the following: — [...]
For several years, I have purchased motherboards, peripherals, and all sorts of computer-related parts from www.newegg.com. They have a great website, great prices, and excellent service. I purchased my Toshiba laptop there in April of this year. Since Toshiba refused to cover my failed power jack and power adapter under warranty, I turned to New [...]
I purchased a Toshiba Satellite L305 laptop in April of this year. Three weeks ago the power jack stopped working correctly. I had to gently position the plug just right to make it work. Within a few days the plug developed a short. I can no longer power on my laptop at all. Ok, nothing [...]
