Well I’ve been using OpenPGP for a while with Enigmail on Thunderbird and also with OpenPGP and Mac Mail, they actually work quite well and the nice thing is all the private keys are self-created, so you don’t have to worry about some certificate authority having access to all your…

Well now that one of my 32GB SanDisk Extreme’s has failed and there is apparently a lifetime warranty, but in the mean time, I need a few more SD cards, so the Sony UHS-1 at $19 for a 32GB looks like a pretty good deal and UHS-1 does seem like…

Yes, you can definitely develop a negative attitude towards the “2nd tier” sites and their security systems. At least now people are telling you waht is happening, but in short over the last two months four of my accounts have been compromised. Which means that people got my email and…

Well now that you have your new iPad Air (or are waiting for Targets, $20 off plus $100 gift certificate Black Friday offer), you need all the rest in particular a case and also a screen protector. Here’s what Amazon says (sadly the review sites don’t really cover these small…

Well, I’ve been using the Vsonic VC1000 for a while and also its brother and my older Etymotic ER-4P. I have to say these are all fantastic headphones. The Vsonic particularly with the Meetronics tips are just great. The fit is very good. And at $125 or so a great…

What a time to buy a camera. The move to interchangeable lens cameras (ILCs) also know as mirrorless cameras is happening at a rapid pace. A friend was asking what he should do and its a difficult question. Here’s an overview of what I’d be thinking and recommendations for this…
