New Rental Property Management Software

I am always up for learning new things when it comes to computer software and technology....especially when it can help businesses and other people out in the process as well. Recently as I was doing some research online about up and coming software, I came across some rental property management software that I thought was worth sharing. http://onsitepropertymanager.com is a site that offers a web based, free 60 day trial offer of their software. From what I've learned, this is a company that wants to help landlords do their work more efficiently, as well as bring in more money as well. With automatic posting of rents and late fees to each account, and the ability to print lease agreements, tenant notices and more....this is a product not easily ignored. If interested you can learn more on their site today.

New "Cool" Search Engine Bigger Than Google?

I'm sure anyone else interested in technology and the internet like me has heard of the new Cuil (pronounced "cool") search engine being launched. For those of you who may not have heard....Cuil is not just another little search engine. No...this is one launched by some of Google's former lead engineers. Many people are discussing the possibility of Cuil being bigger and better than Google...so far this does not seem to be the case. If you'd like to check out for yourself you can try it and let me know what you think. I personally do not know if anything will every measure up to all that Google has accomplished?!

Air Conditioner Services

Growing up I always enjoyed fixing things and learning new things about household appliances such as computers, televisions...even air conditioners. Anything electrical was right up my alley. That is why I was interested in learning more about the air conditioning services, units and parts that chasroberts.com provides. Why is this something I was curious about? Well, not only is anything and everything related to electronics of interest to me still....but the fact that energy efficiency is especially important this time of year when it comes to air conditioning units. I actually learned a great deal. Did you know that with time your air conditioning and heating unit becomes less and less efficient?? I didn't, but thought that was really interesting and helpful, especially for those of us with very old units. It's important to look into air conditioning services to make sure that you can get the parts necessary to make sure your air conditoner is running properly. You can learn more about what is important to know when you need to buy air conditioner parts on their site today.

A new hobby....pet owner!

This is just a side note because I'm quite excited. Typically I am very adamant about writing only about technology related issues. However, soon I will have a new love....a kitty. I know I know...completely off topic...however an interest of mine that I am soon to embark on. I would like a little companion and Mylie will be perfect!! What do you think? Anyone else have a Bengal? If so, I'd love to hear how you like this breed.

Browsing Online-Ads

Lately when online, I have noticed an increased amount of ads that pop up while I'm browsing certain sites. Sometimes It seems that they are relevant to what the reader might want to see, while other times it is not. For instance, do I really need to see sexy swimwear ads on a technology related website?? NO! Do you ever come across this frustrating reality of the wonderful web? I don't know if it's just me, or if others face this same annoyance...but I wish the ads were minimized so browsing was less time consuming and uninterrupted.

Playstation 2 and Coltan

As many know, I try to stay up to date on all that goes on in the gaming world. Aside from that, I also enjoy sharing my findings with others who are interested in staying informed. Recently I read a release about Playstation 2 and the debate that has gone over the rare metal, coltan, that must be used to make it. It is in such high demand that prisoners of war and even children have been sent into dangerous mines to find it. Sony is getting a bad wrap because they have increased the demand for it. Of course there are two sides to every story...but this is just what I read and it definitely caught my attention.

Water Restoration Site

This may be a bit off topic from the usual technology based posts, but I have to say that I feel for all the people who are dealing with water damage due to the severe storms that have continued to pass through our area. In thinking about those affected, I felt it was important to pass along a company and site that I came across who can help! Water Restoration 911 offers disaster restoration services for those facing water in the home or business. They even help with fire restoration if this is something you're facing as well. They are quick to respond...and can actually be at the scene in 30 minutes!! They can help you out withn 24 hours and are available 7 days a week!! If you're one of th many facing this problem right now....you may want to give Water Restoration 911 a try!

Video Options With Your Digital Camera

One thing I've always thought would be fun to have is a camcorder. With the technological advancements today...they make them so convenient, small and digital...that there super easy to use and take with you no matter where you go. My sister actually has one, so recently I was asking her how she likes it. She said that it's great, but that she uses the video option on her digital camera just as much, if not more. I thought this was interesting and actually realized that this would not only be just as convenient for me to do, but would also be cheaper. What do you think? Do you use a camcorder or your digital camera for video needs?

BrigadeQM.com

Surfing the web is something I do often. I think the internet is a great invention and something we all should take full advantage of! There's just so much out there waiting to be learned and found. It's simply at the click of a button. What a wonderful resource it is. Recently I was browsing as I typically do, and I came across a tactical gear site, Brigade QM. Usually a site not dealing with technology wouldn't catch my attention as much, but tactical gear and supplies really brings back memories of when my dad was involved in a tacticle team and it was really great looking through their site and all they offered. I was so impressed with this site that had recently moved from Actiongear.com to BrigadeQM.com, that I wanted to share it with all of you.

Designing With Computer Software

Being an engineer at a reputable company like John Deere, I can proudly say that I have learn dmore about design and computers than I ever have in my life before this year! It's been great! Not only am I doing very well in my current situation at work, but I also can use my skills to help family and friends that need it as well. For instance, just recently my sister came to me asking if I'd help them design a piece of furniture that would cover their sump pump. This was a challenge I was ready to take on...and I was able to use my designing skills and software to come up with the following! I was pretty proud of my work, and she and her husband really seemed to like it as well!! Now we just have to put our plan into action...

New Website for Women

As someone who loves technology and the internet, I like to share any new ideas and sites that I come across. Today I'm here to share a site with my readers who are women because I found it to be quite interesting and worth passing a long. Have you ever heard of myLifetime.com? They are a site that offers updates and articles that many woman won't only love, but can also relate to. They have quizzes, which is always fun to do online, online games, as well as fitness advice and more! Check it out if this sounds like something you'd like to learn more about and let me know how you like it.

New Cell Phone

I like the cell phone that I currently have...however I would definitely like to get a new one in the future. For me it's nice to get a new phone every year or so. So what phone am I looking into? Well, the iphone of course! Some people may think that it's crazy to spend that much money on a cell phone, but for someone who is into electronics as much as I am...as well as on the phone and using it as much as I do...it's well worth it. I'm looking at all my options, but I have a feeling this is the route I will go. What do you think?

Custom Photo Products

I've talked a couple times about my picture taking hobby now that I have a niece and nephew. I'm sure others can relate. Other than looking for a better camera, I've also been looking for websites that allow me to upload my photos and actually create gifts for others and even make things for myself. It's better than just keeping pictures, because these will be something that can last a lot longer. What things you ask? Well, they can put your pictures on Photo Blankets, shower curtains, even pillows and pillowcases! If you're into picture taking like am...as well as finding new things to make of your pictures....check out fotobed.com today!

New Kodak Digital Camera

Well, I'm still in the market for a new camera...however I think I've narrowed it down to the one I want. When I was home visiting my family this weekend, I saw my sister's new Kodak camera and it is exactly what I'm looking for!! The best part is that it has all the features I want, and is a terrific price as well! It's a Kodak EasyShare Z712 7 Megapixel digital camera! I'm going to do a little research on it before I buy for sure, but it looks like it will probably be the one I choose. Have you ever had experience with this model? I'd love to hear your experiences if you have.

Mac Games

I don't get a lot of free time seeing how I am working most of the time, but when the weekend comes around that's my time to relax. As many people probably already know, one of my favorite things to do when I have free time is mess around on the computer. Whether it's gaming or designing...that's what I love most!

Browsing the web I often come across some pretty neat sites. Today I took a look at an independent developer of downloadable mac games and Windows games. I was really impressed with the games available. Obviously seeing how I have a mac, a mac game is what I was most interested in finding...but I still thought the selection was outstanding and layout made it so easy to use!

If you like playing games on your computer, you definitely want to check out this site to learn more about the rpg games available. See what you think and let me know!

More Computer Memory

I really enjoy my computer and all the options it offers, but I have noticed that some more computer memory would be nice. I do so much designing and editing with photos that extra storage would definitely much appreciated. Currently I am looking into my options to see what I can find. So far I haven't found much, but know that if I stay patient I will come across something! That's why I love the internet...there's a wealth of information just waiting to be found!

Make Money With The Internet

I've talked many times about the wealth of information that the internet offers and what a great piece of technology it is in each of our lives. I for one can't imagine my life without it. I know that there are other people who feel the same way that I do, especially those who make money online for a living. For instance, there are many stay at home moms who blog for money. Have you done, or heard of this before? It's actually quite a nice extra income once you get started and definitely worth looking into if you're looking to make more money from home. It's something I have done in the past and really enjoyed. You can blog about all kinds of things...everything from diet pills like Phentermine no prescription needed or even technology related things. Basically anything you're in to. I would suggest looking into this avenue if you've never done so before.

New Bluetooth Headset-Motorola H700

Recently I was looking for a new bluetooth that would make it easier to talk while I'm at home and busy doing other things. I came across a Motorola H700 Bluetooth Headset on Ebay coming all the way from Hong Kong. I decided to buy it, as it was a super great deal at only 18 dollars with shipping!! What I liked best about it was how small it is and the great audio and microphone that it has. I'm excited to get it in the mail and try it out. I'll keep you updated.

A Noteworthy Website-Personal Loans

As I have often said...if there's news to be told or a site to be shared that I think is important, I will do it via this site. There are so many websites out there...the internet is full of information...both good and bad and it's important for us to share with one another the good stuff when we find it. Especially when it can truly help others! Recently I came across a great site that I felt I needed to share because it's an issue I have been hearing so much about on television and over the web...people with bad credit.

With the way our economy is today...high gas prices and instability, it seems that there are more and more people dealing with poor credit. Once you're in that place, it can be very difficult to get out because getting loans and other help is very hard. Not with
Personal Loans Leader though...the site I recently came across!

Personalloansleader.com has a national personal loan service which makes it easy for you to quickly apply for a Personal Loan no matter what your credit type. It's a great thing to know for those looking for a way to get back on track and ultimately have financial freedom once again.

If you'd would like to learn more or would liek to apply for a bad credit personal loan, you can head over to their site today for more information.

The T-Mobile Dash

A little more on my cell phone situation. Do any of you have the Tmobile Dash? That is what I currently have, and although it has a lot to offer, I'm just not sure yet if it's for me. For anyone who may not be familiar with this phone...but interested in learning more....the Tmobile Dash is a Windows Mobile 6 device with HTML email capability. It can be used as a Bluetooth modem for my mac, GPRS and WIFI internet access for instance, and it has full exchange server capability, which means that my John Deere email (for my job), calendar, and contacts are all pushed over the network to my phone in 'real-time'. It's pretty neat all that it can do...but I'm just not sure if it's the phone for me yet?!? I'm going to have to give it a little more time and see what I think.

Looking for a new cell phone? How about a free cell phone?!!

As many probably know by now....cell phones are definitely something that interest me. Having worked with cell phones many years as a profession I was able to learn about them and the different kinds offered. There are so many different cell phones, once that offer options for every type of person. However, I am the type of person who prefer a more simple kind of phone like the RAZR. I used to have one, and have actually been searching for affordable RAZR deals for quite some time now. Seeing how it's a bit older, there are some amazing offers I've come across at Bestincellphones.com. In facet they even have ways of getting
free razr phones!! Isn't that great?! Even though I have always had an interest in everything cell phone related, I had never heard of this site until now. I was really happy that I happened to stumble across it, as they have great Summer Deals going on right now and it's easy to save when shopping online with them. You should definitely head over there and check it out for yourself. Whether you're someone looking for pink phones or something else...they have it all!! You'll even find that they have many great Alltel phones and offerings that are too good to pass up. Maybe you like free at&t cell phones? If so, this is the place for you also! So what are you waiting for?? Take a moment and head over there today. You won't be sorry you did after taking a look at all their top free phones !

New Digital Camera

I have never been someone really big into cameras. Up until my niece and nephew were born last year...taking pictures was not my thing at all. As it's obviously become something more and more important to me, I have been doing a little research and looking for an upgrade to the camera I already have. It's actually been kind of fun since it's along the lines of technology and electronics. Right now I have a simple Sony Cybershot Camera. I really like it, but must admit that it leaves a lot to be desired. I don't need something that will put me in the poorhouse, but have been looking at some of the Kodak's out there. We'll have to see what I find. I'll keep you posted.

Children's Website

This is a bit off topic, but being a proud uncle now...I enjoy sharing certain websites when I find them that deal with children. I was browsing the web as I always do...looking for gifts for my little niece and nephew and came across PersonalizedStories.com. They offer a wide selection of stories for you to choose from and personalize with a child's name in them. I thought this was really neat and also brought back memories of when my grandparents gave me a book just like that. You'll have to check it out if a personalized children's book is something of interest to you.

Update on the BlueAnt Hands Free Blue Tooth

I recently discussed the option of getting a BlueAnt Hands-Free Blue Tooth for your vehicle and how I had just got one. At that point I hadn't had it long, so I wasn't able to tell you much about it other than it was a safer choice when driving than holding your telephone or typing in numbers. I still really like it....but I have learned some downfalls to having it as well over the past couple of weeks that I've had it now. One of the big issues I've been having is the fact that if I get out of my car and am still talking on my phone I have to switch over to my phone obviously. This is just kind of an inconvenience. Also...I have been having some problems with it recognizing the names I say I want to call. I suppose there are always downfalls to letting technology do work for us. Overall it's still a really great thing to have.

Debt Management Website

Isn't the internet a wonderful resource? Some days I don't know what I'd do without it! The overwhelming amount of resources and information that can be found at a click of a button is simply amazing. I don't know about you, but browsing the web can be a learning experience in itself. Recently I was doing this and happened to come across a site that I thought many could relate to...especially with the way our economy presently is. As always...when I find a site worth passing on, I don't think twice.

What could this site be? Well, it's abacusfinance.co.uk, and the Debt Management services and solutions that they offer. I was just talking with someone the other day about the debt many people are facing these days...and the difficulty of managing it. Having just had this conversation, a site like this really stuck out to me. Have you ever been faced with difficulty financially?! It's no fun. In my own experience, debt doesn't have to be all bad...it's how you manage it that's the most important. If you continue to live within your means and spend only what you can afford you won't find yourself getting deeper in debt. This isn't always easy though, and that's why bankruptcy is a word we hear more and more about. Thankfully for those who struggle financially, a site like abacusfinance.co.uk is here to help. I hope that me passing on this information about them can help even one person get back on their feet.

Stay Tuned....

I want to take a moment and apologize that I have not been as good to post lately. Do you ever have times in your life where it seems the busyness and work will never end?? Well, that's what I've been facing recently! Between family obligations and work...my schedule has been quite busy. The good news is that things are beginning to slow down a bit which means I'm back and in full gear. You'll be hearing much more from me in the near future...so please stay tuned.

Humidity's Effects on Electronics

I don't know about you, but recently it's been quite hot and humid out. With the humidity, I am also feeling it in my apartment. It got me thinking about all of my electronics and the effects it might have on them. As I thought more about this, I decided to do a little research to see what I could find. Not Surprising, and unfortunately...I found that humidity can definitely have a negative effect on electronics. It's important to have just the right amount of humidity in your place if you want your electronics to last and not have problems...not too much and not too little of it. Right now I am more worried about having too much and the possibility of corrosion in my things. That's why I decided to go out and price dehumidifiers. This is something I recently just learned more about and thought it was important to pass on to others.

In Search For a Camcorder....

In trying to keep up with the technological times, I find myself always wanted to upgrade the electronics that I have. Whether it be my television, computer, camera, etc....it's something I enjoy doing. Recently I have been paying more attention to the advances that are being made with camcorder. Isn't it something how compact and reliable they have become?! Believe it or not, this is one thing I do not have yet. Having a new little niece and nephew in the past year...I think I would get much use out of one, so the hunt begins. Any guidance would be much appreciated as my search is just beginning.

MacBook Air

One of my absolute favorite possessions at the moment is my MacBook Air. I had a MAC laptop before I bought this...but the minute it came out I knew I had to have it!! It was a bit spendy, but well worth every penny. I spend an awful lot of time on my computer...both at work and at home. I love the options it offers, as well as the convenience of having such a small laptop to carry from here to there. If you're like me and find yourself working on your computer no matter where you are....the MacBook Air would be a great choice for you. It's kind of expensive, but once you go Mac, you'll never go back to anything else.

The BlueAnt Hands-Free Bluetooth

More and more states are now outlawing people from being on their cellphones while they drive. It has yet to happen in the state of Iowa, but I can only imagine that it will only be a matter of time. Don't you think?? In thinking that it will be happening soon, I have prepared myself with the latest piece of cellular technology...the BlueAnt. Ever heard of it? The BlueAnt is a hands-free bluetooth car kit. It's totally amazing. BlueAnt is smart enough to connect to my phone right when I get in it, and instead of hearing my phone ring, BlueAnt tells me who's calling. It is so clear, not only for me, but for the people I am talking to. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who is in their car a lot and needing to talk on the phone. It's a much safer choice.

GPS Tracking

I think one of the neatest forms of technology today are the GPS tracking devices available. I don't just mean those that help get us from point A to point B, but also those that individuals and businesses are using to help track vehicles. From a business standpoint I can see many benefits of having such a tracking device in work vehicles. It's also great for parents and those wanting to know where people are and that they're ok. You can learn more about these types of devices and the great live vehicle tracking that can be watched from any web enabled computer at LiveViewGPS.com.

With the Right Technology....

Ever since I began working on my MAC and designing with Photoshop...I've come up with some pretty amazing creations. In fact, those that I've passed on to family and friends, have now been asking me to make something for them. My sister has asked me to create something that she can frame and hang in her kitchen which I thought was pretty cool. She gave me guidelines, and has left the rest up to me. I will definitely be sharing pics once I've got it finished. Creativity is endless when you have the right resources and technology.

A Passion forTechnology

Whenever I'm home visiting family, I always get a lot of questions about computers. They all know how much knowledge I have about everything from ram to designing websites. I say this because this weekend was one of those times. It's nice to have the information and insight they are looking for. They know they can count on me to give them guidance with the questions they may have. That's the goal of this site. My passion is technology and I want to share that knowledge with others who are looking to learn more as well!

Business Trips

Just a quick note.....recently I found out that I will be taking a couple of business related trips. I don't know much about them, but I believe they are Orlando vacations of some sort. It should be a good time, but it may require that I not spend as much time posting to this site. If that should happen, I just wanted to let my frequent readers know. I will be back to posting on a regular schedule after these short breaks though.

Happy 4th of July

Just wanting to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July! I hope it is/was an enjoyable day for you all and that you're able to spend this beautiful day outside enjoying time with family and friends! Oh, and we can't forget the fireworks....what a great way to end such a wonderful holiday, wouldn't you agree?! I know I enjoy a good fireworks show!!! Happy 4th of July!!

Cars Online

One interest besides technology and electronics that I have never shared with you is cars! Whether it be new or old cars...this is a hobby I also thoroughly enjoy! I not only like finding great cars for myself, but also enjoy surfing the web (one of my favorite hobbies), and finding great deals and places to share with others. As I was searching the other night, I randomly stumbled upon Pacific Nissan. Have you ever heard of them before? I hadn't, but was quite impressed as I learned more about them and thought you might be too! They are an established Nissan dealer in the San Diego area.

Have you ever been searching for a car, but just can't seem to find the one you want at the dealers locations? I know I have. That's what I respect and appreciate about this company. They have a very large inventory of both new and used cars for sale. The chances of not finding what you want is very slim in my opinion.

What about financing. Have you ever been in the process of buying a car, and the financing options provided were not what you were looking for? If so, maybe Pacific Nissan can help. They offer auto financing services...as well as even car parts that are for sale!

If you enjoy cars like I do, and want to find a great dealer to purchase your next vehicle, San Diego used cars may just be the place to start. The internet is a great resource for searching out noteworthy companies...and this is one I definitely had to share after having come across it. Let me know what you think!

Photoshop Creations

As I mentioned before...I am particularly interested in photoshop these days and the endless possibilities for creativity that it offers. I probably have been spending far too much time playing around with it...but designing is something I enjoy a lot...and creating something from scratch is very rewarding. I recently created this HDTV...it may look simple, but actually took me quite some time. If you've never taken the time to really see all that photoshop as to offer and you enjoy designing as much as I do...you should definitely check it out!!

Internet Resourcefulness

Gaming and computers aren't my only source of recreation these days. I also enjoy hunting. Isn't the internet a great place to find the things you need to supplement the hobby of your choice? I have found For me, that site is one where I can find all kinds of recreational hunting products like quality hunting blinds, deer feeders, Texas Hunter Product, and more! I definitely thought this was a site worth sharing with others who might have the same interest as well. Check out the Hunting & Recreation Business Mall for more information.

Photoshop Fun

I'm so glad that we have decided to take this site to the next level....touching on many of the important aspects of the technological world. Even though from time to time I may talk about websites that are not necessarily technology related (although the internet is)....I will always come back to my passion of electronics, computers, etc. One of my favorite things to do when I have time, is play around with photoshop. It's so fun to see the creations that can be come up with when given a little patience and creativity. I've been doing a lot of experimenting lately...and created this piece of art...what do you think??
