  • Meet Lonnie

    If you’ve ever taken a trip to the South Burlington store, there’s probably one person you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet, and that’s Lonnie. He’s the Inventory Controller in South Burlington.

    Lonnie has been in control of the shipping and receiving that goes on in our busiest location, and does it all with incredible efficiency. He also has a good knowledge base of everything Apple, Windows, and even knows a little bit about Linux, which means he’s able to handle most questions our customers are able to throw at him.

    When he’s not filling orders, or getting product out onto the floor, he works as a freelance writer for Slide to Play, a website dedicated to games for the iPhone and the iPad. He also has his own website, which shows everything he’s produced for the internet, including original content related to 8-bit gaming.

    If you’re in the area, and you happen to see Lonnie out on the floor, don’t be afraid to walk up to him and say hello. But beware, if you scare him off, it’ll mean 6 more months of winter…

  • It looks like we will see steady warming this weekend and no rain, so I will be heading out on my motorcycle for at least a short ride in the mountains. My mailbox and post totally failed after several years of being hit by plows, etc. I had one of those “doh!” moments as I went to install the new post. In the past, I would just dig a big hole, stick the post in there and hope it held up.

    Well, that didn’t work so well, and the post was wobbling, so I went with Plan B. I got a 50 pound bag of quickset Sacrete and poured it into the hole with the post and added a gallon of water. Now, my mailbox is ready for another several years of abuse. I put letters and my name on it, but as I told Grace, it looks a little like a ransom note.

    Be sure to check out the Dog Days of Summer specials — we have gotten very aggressive in our bundles and promotions so you might find just what you are looking for on sale at Small Dog Electronics. Thank you so much for reading this issue of Kibbles & Bytes!

  • Apple TV: A Great Companion on the Road

    Recently, Small Dog sent me to a fraud prevention conference that had me in a hotel room for four nights.  As I was packing my suitcase, I had a thought…why not take my *Apple TV* with me?

    I knew that the hotel provided free Wi-Fi during the conference and most hotel rooms have HD televisions with HDMI inputs at this point. Since the Apple TV is only slightly larger than a deck of playing cards, it wasn’t going to take up a huge amount of room in my suitcase.

    I am really glad I made the call to bring it along, because it was nice to be able to have access to Netflix and Hulu at the end of the day, as well as all the movies I had previously purchased from iTunes. I was able to watch a movie every night without paying the hotel’s rental fees, which, by the way, was $14.99 for Pacific Rim, a movie that is available to own from iTunes for $17.99. 

    From now on, when I travel, the “*Apple TV*”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/80135/apple-tv-2012?utm_expid=44868091-14.U7z_jlVMSfyvmNjMFS5J7w.0&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smalldog.com%2Fsearch%3Fsearch%3Dapple%2Btv is coming with me!
