Craig’s List Now Officially Useless

It might as well be called Craig’s Lost now, of course Craig has already made his money from the failed endeavor, so I don’t imagine he really cares any more. If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, just poke around on Craig’s List and see if you can’t find some scam amongst all of the categories. My wife, who speaks several languages fluently including French, Hebrew, and Spanish, offered to tutor the daughter of a man seeking assistance.

Review: Kensington ShareCentral 5

If there is one central truth about my office its that this is cluttered and unruly, mostly with the enormous mass of cables which I have. Most people strive to control their space by only selecting those things which they need to do what they want. People at home have printers, keyboards and mice, scanners, cameras, external drives, PDAs, phones, iPods, thumb drives, and various other USB-based devices and peripherals in varying combinations. What, then, do you do when you also have a lappy or a family member has another PC?

A Short Break For The Holidays

The Dojo is taking a very brief break for the holidays, after which we will return with more of what we do. While we do not celebrate anything in particular (aside from my daughter’s birthday) for the holiday season, we do celebrate family, love, hope, and peace. All of us at The Dojo with these things [...]
