Thank you for all of the emails over the last couple of weeks regarding the past year in review.

Take a look at the Spam Test provided by OpenDNS. See if you can pass by identify real websites compared to spammed sites. I missed one and I have excuses but see how well you can do and post it here. http://www.opendns.com/phishing-quiz/
Today will be the first time I have used my Toshiba Thrive along with the Swype keyboard and the dictation apps to write the entire " Double Click" column. From the beginning of this article on, except where I use the voice dictation app this is all written with Swype. I am very sure it…
OK, the holidays have started and you may be traveling to visit the relatives in a faraway or unfamiliar location.
