Chelsea — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 20:00:27 +0000

Recently, I have been getting into games on my phone! It is completely crazy how far technology has come! I seemed to be amazed everyday when I pick up my phone! I remember when I used to have the HUGE HP with the monitor that took up an entire table and the modem had to be put on the floor because the table was already filled with the screen! Now, we have touch screen tablets. I'm still amazed can't ya tell?

How iPhone Todd Helped Me Out in a Pinch

Bobby G. — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:00:15 +0000

Before I go any further I want to point out that, yes, iPhone Todd is a client of ours. I realize that, I admit it…no secret. Having said that, he is also a great guy that does great work…and this blog has nothing to do with him being a client. It’s all about a business owner that helped me out of a big jam.

In case you can’t tell from the things I write about, I’m a big supporter of law enforcement. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done my share of lawbreaking and then some back in my younger years. These days I’m concerned about being a strong community with a low crime rate. Something that can assist in [...]

I cannot count how many 'pre-loved' books I bought during my college years. They've got character and lots of highlighted areas for easy studying. But one douchebag professor may end that tradition for students.

Could 3D Holograms Be The Next Big Thing At Concerts?

T-Rav — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:30:11 +0000

Although its not the music we play, I was floored by video of the hologram of late rapper Tupac Shakur at this year’s Coachella festival. It got me wondering if holograms could be the next big thing. Shakur was killed in 1996, 16 years later AV Concepts used their holographic technology to make a life-like [...]

I…love…this…guy. Finally, it seems like someone is saying what most of us are thinking. This review of the iPad 3 is perhaps the most honest review you will ever see.

T-Rav — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 03:10:48 +0000

This will be the final year that the Encyclopaedia Britannica will be printed, going the way of video rental stores, book stores, and to some degree the post office. Who can remember the last time they looked up information in an encyclopaedia? I started using the internet way back in 1995, during the days of [...]

T-Rav — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 04:32:52 +0000

Ever since I saw Back To The Future II it has been my life long dream to own a hoverboard. I even took up skateboarding as a kid in hopes that the hobby could transfer. As 2015 (the ‘future’ in BTTF II) quickly approaches, hope seemed to dim that a hoverboard would ever be. But [...]

Next thing you know, you'll be able to carry your computer around with you, and use it on the top of your lap. Technology is neat.
