  • Web Protection/Security Tip

    The below widget is from trendmicro.com I love trendmicro. They are great security software company. Their prices are better than just about anyone I’ve found. We use their enterprise software at work and it does a great job and runs very lightly in the background. I hate security software that bogs down the computer. They have a great little tool to check website for threats. You can just type the URL in the box below to search for threats on websites you might not be sure about. Not to say the content might not be questionable. They are just saying that you shouldn’t get a virus from that website.

  • Snow Day

    Here are a few pictures from today. More to come and videos!

  • Sad moment…

    I opened my laptop Saturday morning only to hear stomach turning crack. It was possibly the second sadest technology moment of my life. Second only to my getting in the lake with my week old iPhone 3GS in my pocket. Kayce said my face was hilarious and it looks like my screen was shot several times. It is my work computer but it is way out of warranty. Dell is checking on a replacement display. Sad day.

  • Dilbert…

    Just another funny Dilbert from www.dilbert.com.

  • Adobe Flash iPhone Blockade

    I was looking at my blog on my iPhone to see what my mobile theme looked like and I saw the “flash player required” button… Nothing new, everyone knows that smart phones don’t do flash… But when I accidently hit it it took me to the following adobe page:
    ——–
    Flash Player not available for your device

    Apple restricts use of technologies required by products like Flash Player. Until Apple eliminates these restrictions, Adobe cannot provide Flash Player for the iPhone or iPod Touch.

    ———–
    I’d never seen that before. Interesting to say the least. I’m a huge adobe fan. I think they’ve done about everything right with there software brands. I live in CS4 now. I’ve been using Photoshop for almost 10 years. I love adobe. Please apple, please allow flash on the iPhone!

  • Weather Randomness…

    Random Special weather statement. My take away… Check on the elderly and pets. Regardless, of the fact that it seems very wrong to group those two together, recent power outages around town make it all the more important to check on older friends and family when it gets really cold. I post this for lack of anything better.

    …OLD MAN WINTER GETS A FIRM GRIP ON MIDDLE TENNESSEE… THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON IS NOW COVERING MIDDLE TENNESSEE…AND WILL CONTINUE FOR QUITE A WHILE.

LOW TEMPERATURES FOR THE NEXT 5 TO 6 DAYS WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO MID TEENS…WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 20S TO MID 30S. THIS IS ABOUT 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
