Databases Part 1 – How To Select The Right Database
So you want to build a data driven web site but don’t know what database to use? Maybe it’s an IOS or Android application and not a website at all. Either way, if you collect data, you’re going to want to determine the best way to store it for later. In this article, I’ll talk [...]Show More Summary
Learn About The Web And Programming
Look around you… I mean online. Everything you see is powered by some form of web technology. Every day, you interface, indirectly, with MySQL databases, PHP code, and HTML that makes it all show up. Almost everything you touch on the web could be created by you, too, with some time and the right education. [...]Show More Summary
How To Get A Free Education
With a recent career shift, I’ve found myself in search of all the knowledge I can absorb and I am truly amazed by all the free resources there are to learn on the Internet. My focus is on web programming, but I’ll include information about learning in other areas as well. Before we start, don’t [...]Show More Summary
Evernote User Accounts Compromised
Evernote, today, reported that they detected and blocked suspicious activity on their network. As a precaution, they say, they’ve implemented a password reset for all users. When I first read about this, it sounded as if they had already reset your password and you would need to have it emailed to you. Instead, an email [...]Show More Summary
Sony DCR-SX45 Camcorder Review
While most reviews are for products sent to me for review, this one is based on my experience purchasing a camcorder for use in creating future reviews. I had done a little research and locked myself into a budget of $200 or less. My purchase had to be for a camera that provided good quality [...]Show More Summary
Luvvitt iPhone 5 Case Review
I’ve reviewed so many iPhone cases that go over the $20 mark (sometimes way over) that it’s nice to see one come in just under twenty bucks. I had to wonder if low cost meant a cheap product. Find out in this review of the Luvvitt Clearview iPhone 5 case. To answer the first question [...]Show More Summary
The Web Before There Were Graphics
Have you ever wondered what the web used to look like long before the browser wars? Today, another developer in my office reminded me of how we used to see the web twenty years ago. Back then, Google hadn’t been envisioned yet and Yahoo! was just a couple hundred or so links indexed by hand. [...]Show More Summary
Serious Shredding With The #FellowesInc 73Ci
This post brought to you by Fellowes. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you ever shredded paperwork one sheet at a time? I have, and I hated it. With the old shredder at my office, we would let the papers pile up and eventually pay a nephew to come in and shred. I keep [...]Show More Summary
Lazy-Hands – Take That, Gravity!
Last month, I tried to squeeze thousands of displays at CES into just a couple days. That meant a lot of skimming past the same old stuff and stopping, occasionally, for the unique and noteworthy. Usually, it was some flashy thing with lasers that did the trick, but in one instance, it was the genius [...]Show More Summary
Drive ‘n’ Talk Coda One Hands Free Bluetooth Speaker Review
I hate when I’m driving in the car with my phone in my pocket and it starts ringing. Not only am I going to miss the call, but I also have to wait until I reach my destination before I can find out who was trying to call me. Yet, for some reason, I never [...]Show More Summary
How Technology And Lack Of Caring Ruined Protection One
Everything was going great. I had been a Protection One client for a couple years and carried our service over to our new home when we moved across town in Phoenix. Then I got a great job offer in Detroit and had to move pretty quickly. That’s where my nightmare with Protection One began. (image [...]Show More Summary
Secure Cloud Everything With LifeKeep
This post brought to you by BuzzParadise. All opinions are 100% mine. The first thing I think about when I hear the phrase "the cloud" is security. This may not be a big deal when you're just storing music in the cloud, but when it comes to personal, private, and sensitive information, security should [...]Show More Summary
DocWhovian Has Your Doctor Who Gear
I used to watch Doctor Who all the time and my wife is a fanatic. When DocWhovian.com approached me about being an advertiser, I was pretty geeked about linking out to a site I know so many of you will like. In fact, within a couple of days, the Doctor Who Tardis cookie jar reviewed [...]Show More Summary
CES 2013 Photos, Videos, and Wrap-Up
Wow, what a week! Last week, I hopped on a plane to Las Vegas, Nevada for the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show. More than 3,250 exhibitors unveiled some 20,000 in 1.92 million net square feet of exhibit space and I covered as much as time and physical ability would allow in the three days I [...]Show More Summary
Protect Your iPhone 5 With The iSkin Claro
I didn’t get an iPhone 5 right away, so I also didn’t have a case for it right away, but I knew I would be looking at iSkin as an option. When everyone I work with got an iPhone 5, I heard two repeating concerns about putting a case on it. The first was the [...]Show More Summary
Moving To Graphite Valley?
This post brought to you by GRPH. All opinions are 100% mine. You may have heard of graphite before if you've ever used a pencil. In fact, the name graphite is derived from the Ancient Greek graphein, which means "to draw". So why is a tech blog writing about graphite? What you may not know [...]Show More Summary
Keeping Safe And In Communication With DeLorme’s InReach
Occasionally, my wife and I will venture out for a day hike, but usually nothing more than a few hours. In the last couple years, however, I’ve gone on some more substantial hikes, including a 53 mile hike from Utah to Arizona. On a three hour day hike, I don’t worry too much about getting [...]Show More Summary
PDF Max – More Than Just A Reader
I use iBooks for most all my iPad reading activity, but what if you want to do more than just read on your iPad. An iPad app I checked out this week, called PDF Max, goes well beyond reading for iPad power users. PDF Max Features By and far, the number one feature is the [...]Show More Summary
The Sky Is (not) Falling!
It’s Friday, but it’s not just any Friday. Today is the day the world ended… again. Once again, we seem to have survived what so many thought would be the end of the world and it was based on the end of the Mayan calendar yet again. While we didn’t see anyone going completely off [...]Show More Summary
Unifying Communications With CDW Cloud Collaboration
This year, I moved across the country and went from an office of just a few to a corporation with several thousand employees. Before this big move, I would communicate with others in the office mostly by voice. Seeing someone face to face meant only a couple dozen steps in any direction. These days, comminucation [...]Show More Summary
