System Mechanic 12 is a computer maintenance solution produced by iolo technologies, ltd. System Maintenance software is quite a full market, with options in both the paid and freeware categories. Just how does System Mechanic stand up? How does it fare on a production machine as crazy as my desktop? I was actually emailed by […]
As I mentioned in my previous article, I have switched from an Android 2.3.4 based smartphone, to a very affordable, but also very modern, Windows Phone 8 based phone: The Nokia Lumia 520. Just how good could a $99 phone be? Just how usable is the Windows Phone operating system? I decided to dive straight […]
A few weeks ago, I made the decision to move from Android to Windows Phone. “Madness,” you might say. “Why would anyone switch from Android for Windows? Are you crazy?” Well, while the latter might be true, the switch was a very thought out decision on my end. It boils down to how one uses […]
I am always creating something. I am the kind of person who is thinking nonstop about new things to write, new photo opportunities, and all kinds of other random ideas and projects. The problem is, I never tend to publish the majority of what I come up with. I never like any of it, due […]
So, on August 4th, the BBC announced who would replace Matt Smith in the role of the mysterious title character in the nearly half-century old Science Fiction series “Doctor Who.” The person chosen? Peter Capaldi, an actor who had actually already been in the series once before, in the 2008 episode “The Fires of Pompeii.” […]
I don’t normally talk about my personal life on here, save for the occasional fact that would make for an interesting article. Otherwise, I keep mostly to myself, and only write about things I like, rather than things that happen to me. Sometimes, however, an experience warrants an article. Like, without warning, moving to a […]
It’s that time of year again here in Memphis. For 3 years running, Anime Blues Con has been providing the otaku of the mid-south something centrally located to have fun with. 3 days of near nonstop anime and geek culture to enjoy! Just like last year, I will be there to experience every moment I […]
Today, Microsoft released a video showing some of the new features of Windows 8.1 or “Windows Blue” as it was known during it’s development. This video shows off features of the new operating system update, focusing on improvements to Modern UI elements like the Start Screen, App snapping, and the overhauled search function. Let me […]
The BBC announced it today: The Christmas 2013 Special of Doctor Who will be the final episode to feature Matt Smith as the role of the title character known simply as “The Doctor.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/Matt-Smith-to-leave-Doctor-Who This comes weeks after the amazing Series 7 finale, which teasingly addressed the issue of the characters real name, as well […]
No, seriously, why don’t you? Spring is in full force (at least, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) and when it’s not raining or storming, it’s the perfect weather to go outside and enjoy some fresh air, a cool breeze, and some good old sunlight! That’s what I did today, actually. Spending all […]
This would seem like something silly to write about. Why would it matter that I uninstalled on app from my cell phone? Because this serves as a prime case where several minor issues have ruined my experience to the point where the app is no longer worth having on my device. Now, my phone is […]
It was during the early morning hours of April 26th, 1986. The governing bodies within the Soviet Union wanted to conduct another test of the backup power systems of one of it’s nuclear power plants; Namely, the the V.I. Lenin Nuclear Power Station, located near the city of Chernobyl, in the northern Ukraine. It was […]
Every single day, we do a countless multitude of things. Some tiny, little tasks we forget about moments after completing them, while others can be life changing events. The question we all wonder at one point or another is, why do we do this? Honestly, think for a moment why you do most tasks. The […]
A few months ago, I wrote a little article while at a local mall, entitled “Free Wi-Fi Hates You.” The article spoke of the woes of gaining access to most unsecured public wireless access point. There is a trick to getting good WiFi, however. It just require some research beforehand. This may be common knowledge, […]
It’s a question virtually anyone who writes will ask themselves. Why do I do this? Why do I write? I never intended to be a blogger. I never thought anything of the idea, honestly. It seemed silly to sit there and write about random things. Honestly, who would read such? Who would care, right? Then, […]
