I am going to do some work on Hapy’s and my pick-up truck this weekend. It still has the remnants of mud season in the form of mud and rocks caked on the wheels, so I will take them off and pressure wash them. (That is, in between motorcycle rides and playing with my grandchildren…

Recently, my good friend Dawn was visiting from New York and came into our Waitsfield store to buy a new iPod touch.

Now that Apple has unleashed OS 10.7 Lion, all eyes are on the other major OS release announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June: “*iOS 5*”:http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/, the new operating system for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch launching this fall. One of the most anticipated features of iOS 5 is iCloud, which will provide online…

One of the great things about Mail in Lion is the layout. I am a huge fan of the left-to-right format that was made so popular by iOS. This way, I get to read the first couple of lines of those “enhancement” emails without opening them! Score! Seriously though, aside from the content preview benefit,…
