This has nothing to do with gadgets or technology, but I had to share my latest health news. For those of you following along at home, I was diagnosed with Diabetes this past December. At that time my A1C test was 6.7, then 3 months later it was 6.4 and now it is 6.0 which

Okay, I know that this may be bordering on the “Too Much Information” threshold, but I’ll confess that when I was a kid, I loved magnets. Not many things would make me happier than coming across an old speaker that I could dismantle to remove its magnet disk. Ball bearings were the other thing that

Name: Mike Oetting Location: Kansas City I suppose it all started nearly 10 years ago in 1996 with the launch of the Palm 1000. I remember reading the press leading up to the launch of this product, and I was hooked. I thought it was the first PDA which seemed to have a fair amount
