It’s Friday and you don’t know what that means - it’s Pimping Bookmarks day! It’s that special day of the week where I compile some great links to articles, tools, and other digital trinkets that will definitely pimp your work. Of course, readers are encouraged to contribute links that I’ll probably miss. You can submit […]
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen computers at people’s offices and homes where several people are using a computer, but all under the same account. I’m not even get into if it’s an admin level account or not, just looking at the overlap, confusion and organization of this drives me batty.

For all of us who made the jump to Vista or got a machine with Vista pre-installed, you might know that the only third-party firewall that is compatible with Vista has been a Symantec product. I’m not a huge fan of Norton Internet Security. In fact I tend to cringle when I […]
Happened to you too? It was the darnedest thing. And the funny part was that the Sleep feature worked for a little while after I ran disk clean up then stopped. So, what happened?
Okay as you might remember I did a nice clean install of Vista recently. One of the nice benefits of this route […]
