OK San Diego locals – HELP! Even though Alex still needs to earn a proper GPA in order to get his complete license, I do want to get him signed up and ready to get his permit so he can start lessons and practicing. However, which company should I use? I get these three flyers [...]

Love

OMG how much do I love Directv so far? HUGE LOVE! With the new TV season starting, I have to re-create any series recordings I had previously setup on my cable DVR. Now, as many of you know, my memory is…well..somewhat challenged on details this days. Be it age, or (as I prefer to view [...]

Phishing PSA

My company sent this message out to employees yesterday and I thought it was such a good summary of how to protect yourself against phishing that I should share it. I’ve been very lucky over the years to avoid viruses and almost all malware and phishing. A lot of that is due to me being [...]
