  • Welcome to the month of August!

    It’s scary that we are already in August, which means that summer is soon coming to a close. This morning was one of the colder days I have experienced in a while, and it made me realize that I need to do as many outdoor activities as I can before the cold front comes in.

    Of course, there are good things about the fall: fairs, football and new product announcements are some of my favorites, as well as the movie releases. So don’t fret yet; there is still a bit more time to summer for us, and some good things that come with a change of season.

    Shawn V. has noticed an increase of new AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule sales and he writes of some key features that are fueling these purchases. Kyle goes through some MacBook troubleshooting tips to help you out of minor jams and RJ reveals ways to make sure your hard drives are fully protected from threats.

    As always, have a great week everyone!

  • Cool and rainy weather in the forecast this weekend with Sunday only supposed to hit a high of 65° F. Blueberries are in abundance in my yard and we are filling up the freezer with bags of them for the winter; I feel downright squirrel like.

    Speaking of squirrels, apparently a couple got an appetite for wood because they seem to have gnawed away at some beams in the back of my house in the wood shed. Critters — all a part of country life.
