Hello Everyone, 

A friend of mine sent the following safety tips to me and I want you to read them and take them very seriously.  This is not a joke or a pun.  Unfortunately, this is real life, precious life that we all must protect at any cost.  So print them out or Braille them up and study them; learn them well and from time-to-time, read them again and again.  Make them part of your ethos (world view) and never forget. 

Pass this information on to everyone you know and pray that no one will ever need to use them.

Remember, a candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle.

Most Sincerely,

Mark Taylor  Read the rest of this entry »

Hello My Fellow Tiptoe Bandits,

As all of us do from time-to-time, I find myself frequently answering the question of where I would most like to visit.  My usual answer, which is true by the way, is that I someday want to travel up to Alaska and gaze upon the Aurora Borealis (The Northern Lights).

But there’s more; so very much more. 

For one thing, even though I desperately long to go to this place, I am equally desperately afraid of it; ironic, no?

So, you want to know where it is?  Read the rest of this entry »

Hello Everyone, 

Even though I wrote an article on how to use my beloved Samsung Epix SGH-i907 Smartphone as a broadband MODEM, Click Here to View, I decided to revisit this topic once again in order to point those of you who do not own an Epix to a wonderful website that may assist in configuring your particular wireless device to serve as a broadband MODEM, as well.

Enjoy and Good Luck,

Hello My Stress-Strapped Social Siblings,

In case you didn’t know, for many years now, I have been plagued with insomnia.  Yep, it’s true. 

So, you’re not alone if, like me, you find that from time-to-time, you simply cannot turn your mind off and either relax or, preferably, fall asleep. 

As are many things in my life, I find that the severity and frequency of this malody can be greatly reduced by employing one of the most marvelous inventions the world has ever known; that’s right, you guessed it, my beloved Smartphone.  (Smile)  Read the rest of this entry »
