Let’s Talk about Searching – The Unusual Ways You may not know about searching – the unusual ways. Sure, you know about normal searching. You type in some words and hit the search button. Or maybe you even know about using the microphone to verbally search. Since you already know about these methods of searching, let’s skip over them. Searching […]
Seriously, I want a hippopotamus for Christmas! Why, Joyce even bought me a shirt with that same message. (See above!) A Hippopotamus For Christmas? Do I really want a Hippo for Christmas?

In this post, I’m going to talk about Google search settings. Why? I want you to know about the settings because of what happened to one of our customers.

Hopefully, all of us will be honoring our Veterans this November 11th. Of course, we really should be doing that every day but at least we’ll specifically be thankful for their service on this day.

Those nasty scammers. They will do just about anything to try to steal your money. One of the things they’ve started to do is purchase security certificates for their bogus websites. They realize that most computer users have come to understand that the “s” in https:// stands for “secure.” A website is secure when everything transmitted from the site to […]

One of the questions I hear often is “How can I get rid of Bing?” If not that question, then this one: “How can I get rid of Google?” Before I can explain how to get rid of them, I need to talk about what they are.

The picture above was taken from our backyard at 12 Midnight. It was a little cloudy plus my iPhone X just couldn’t get a closer view, so the picture’s not great. If you look on Social Media, you’ll see lots of people who captured much better pictures. […]
