What is 5 feet tall, 6 feet long, 3 feet wide and covered in 1/4 inch plated steel? No, it’s not a mini-submarine, but close. It’s my brand spanking new storm shelter! No worries now. Bring it on Oklahoma twisters.  Some may chide my hubris saying it only courts Fate, [...]

The latest horror film The Cabin in the Woods serves up played out plot conventions and stale characters, but only as a opportunity for exposition, or is it to be didactic? I’m not sure, and I don’t think the film is either.  Written as a collaboration of Joss Whedon (FireFly) and Drew Goddard (Cloverfield), [...]

I would like to thank the TaskForce with your comments. This blog has been very helpful and I appreciate the opportunity to have met and corresponded with many of you. If there is anything that I can do to be of service to you regarding any technical issue with the iPad or Apple Products, please [...]

I was fortunate to have had the luck of the draw and to test drive an Apple iPad for this task force. I have had virtually not complaints using this outstanding device. The iPad has worked extremely well while integrating with my coursework, data, management and professional tasks relating to academia needs.  I am particularly [...]

My final verdict on the iPad 2 is this: luxury. Not to say that it’s the primo-, top-of-the-line, best-of-the-best device, but rather to say possessing one is not a necessity but a luxury. It can make some tasks easier to complete on the go, and it can provide an extra communication device to keep you [...]

Oh wow! Windows has more cool stuff to offer.
I just “activated” the Windows Live Writer on my Acer Iconia W500. This is how I did it:

Start –> All Programs –> Windows Live –> Windows Live Writer

I wish I had found out about this earlier. The Live Writer hooked me up to the blogs.uco.edu/tabletdiscovery website and [...]

I just found out that even the Windows can do a Remote Assistance (I have previously heard of my Apple friends saying something about that on their Macs).
It is fairly simple to do this on the Acer Iconia W500. The following are the steps I went through to do some experiments on it:

Start -> All [...]

I have enjoyed watching netflix on this Nook more than any of the other options, the picture is so clear. The volume is not so great though. I also like it for reading my magazines even though I have to adjust the page size. I will continue to use the Nook for note taking at [...]

The tablet discovery has been a fantastic opportunity. I would not have chosen to do something like this on my own, and am quite surprised that I was chosen. I am not the most technologically sound . I have learned so much in this short time. I have learned more on os [...]
