I read with great interest about the challenge that former VP and current Apple board member Al Gore tossed out yesterday. He challenged the USA to completely shift its entire electricity production to renewable energy sources and eliminate the dependence upon oil and coal. Challenging the auto industry to have all electric cars in 10 […]
Last Friday I went to Unity, NH and attended the unity rally with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. This Friday I will be in the annual 4th of July parade in Warren, Vermont. These events are a symbol of why I love my country and why I work so hard to make it a better […]
In the past, I have written reviews of many ergonomic keyboards as alternatives to the Apple stock keyboards. My interest in ergonomic keyboards came from my experience with RSI – repetitive stress injury. Early on at Small Dog, I developed a serious case of carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists. It was so severe that […]
Those of you that know me also know that I am a lifelong Boston Celtics fan. So much so that my office has autographed pictures of famous and not so famous Celtics from over the years. I try to watch every game and when I was a kid, I would listen to Celtics games on […]

I spent some time in Jamaica debating the impact of climate change with my host, Jim Boydston. He pointed out that erosion is taking its toll along the seven-mile beach. He explained that […]
I am disgusted. I watched the Democratic Debate last night between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and have nothing but respect for these two leaders for the courage to put themselves up to our scrutiny and choice for the next President of the USA. I feel totally different about Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, the […]
I was able to snag one of the new Skullcandy Pipes for my trip to Jamaica. We like to listen to our extensive reggae collection on the beach and in the room at night. It is remarkably more noisy here at night than in Vermont so going to sleep to reggae using the iPod’s sleep […]
Following the recent upgrade of AirPort Extreme to 7.3.1 I attempted to mount my connected Seagate FreeAgent Pro drive. I discovered a few things: 1) The FreeAgent Drives cannot be formatted for Mac by Leopard Disk Utility.
