About two years ago I wrote about the updated rules of password creation but I still receive questions about creating passwords all the time. Most recently from Jim. “I would like to know if you have any helpful hints or info on how to make a safe password and most importantly how to remember it….
Several years ago I came up with an idea and was told by most everyone I mentioned it to that I was, well basically nuts. My idea was to set up an online system that would alert specific people if I was offline for an extended period. Say I was kidnapped by nefarious persons and…
Today I will continue with the start of the 18th year of “Double Click” by providing more of last year’s links. If the site addresses are too long for print, I have shortened them using the “bit.ly” app. Copy them, then paste them in your browser’s address bar to visit the sites. If you type…
It is hard to believe but today we begin the 18th year of the "Double Click" column. I want to thank all of you for reading the almost 900 articles. Thanks for the emails I continue to receive. Not only does it let me know the articles are actually being read but I really enjoy…

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I lost a tech device this week that I knew well and held close for years. We first met around 2002 when I also started writing for the Daily News-Record. The end came about over the past month or so. It started acting “wrong” by stopping when…
I have not written about purchasing new computers for Christmas in a while. Ten years to be exact. Why not?
