Apple updated not one, not two, but all three of their desktop models today, announcing speed, storage, graphics, and other enhancements to the Mac mini, the iMac, and Mac Pro. As they typically do, prices remained the same (or went down) on all of the upgraded models. Perhaps most notably was the 24″ iMac now…

Definition of a Blog
I often find myself recommending to people that they could start a blog. Whether it is one of my web clients, or a One To One member at the Apple store, there are many reasons to have and use a blog. The funny thing is, when I say that, folks are often at least confused,…
Sabres Lose Top Stars, Clinging to Playoff Hopes
The Sabres seem to have plenty of bad luck in the injury department. Not just this season, but nearly every season. A few years ago, they made it to game seven of the conference finals, but most likely lost because they had one starting defenseman who was healthy! Many of the defensemen have missed time…
Asking Because We’re Loved
Remember a little while ago, I posted some thoughts regarding asking God for things, even though we might know or trust that he knows the best option or outcome anyway? I am still chewing on that, to be sure, because the more I get to know our Father, the more I trust his love for…
Microblogging
Have you heard the term “microblogging” bantered about these days? Perhaps you’ve heard of the most popular microblogging platform, Twitter? It certainly has some legs these days. There are all sorts of options out there, Twitter and Tumblr are two popular ones I have tried. (I really don’t use Twitter, and I have stopped using…
I’m Praying For You

Friends losing jobs, dealing with tumors and cancers, relationship turmoil, and even just people caught in a mess of their own poor choices. I am certainly not immune. I have felt tired, spent,…
God Saved Our Bacon
It’s been a full week. Fuller than usual for some reason. (I’m not sure “fuller” is a word, but, in this case it seems to fit.) Each day has ended very late, and been full of either lots of one thing, or many different things. But whatever the landscape of the day, each has ended…
Speaking of Inaugurations…
Hulu has over a dozen of the most recent presidential inauguration speeches uploaded to their site (Eisenhower’s was the oldest one). Pretty cool to watch history like that. Unedited, uninterpreted. But looking back after we know the outcome. It was the present – speaking of the future – when they were giving those speeches. Pretty…
Presidential Inauguration: LIVE
How crazy is it that I can stream this live event on my blog? If I am able, I’ll have a comment on the 44th president of the United States later today (or later this week). But for now, enjoy the cool technology! :-)
Video: Plane Crash – and Rescue – in the Hudson River
I’m certain you’ve heard of the improbable circumstances surrounding the plane crash (and survival of all aboard) last week in NYC. Came across this video today from the Coast Guard camera that watches the events unfold.
