Answered: How long does it take an Apple Store order to move from “Preparing for Shipment” to “Shipped”?

Avoiding a tedious repair job by using my doorbell’s backup bell
Did you know that most doorbells have two chimes in them? I didn’t until today, and it just saved me an hour and a half and $20. A couple of months ago, the button to our doorbell broke. The button … Continue reading
Abandoning my networking rolodex and relying entirely on LinkedIn
My company is in the process of being acquired by IBM, and while this has many positives, it means that we will all be switching from Microsoft Outlook over to Lotus Notes. This feels a little bit like switching from … Continue reading
