Hello Everyone,
About 10 days or so ago, I had a bit of an emergency in which I needed some cash. As it turned out, I was not near any of my local bank branches. Since time was absolutely of the essence, I decided to withdraw some money from the nearest 7-Eleven convenient store ATM. Read the rest of this entry »
Hello My Friends,
In light of recent world events, I decided to re-post the following list of personal codes of conduct, by which to live, that are commonly referred to as the Native American Code of Ethics.
These principles are simple yet powerful, demanding yet gracious, timely and yet timeless.
I post them here as a token of my respect for the past, my appreciation of the present, and my hope for the future.
Most Sincerely,
Mark

Hello Everyone,
If you want to have Siri speak your current location, as of iOS 8.3 or later, simply say, “Tell me where I am” or ask, “Where am I?”
Happy Traveling.

Hello Everyone,
One of my friends, until now, has fervently refused to setup either a Touch-ID or PIN on her iPhone 6, despite my suggestions to the contrary. She said she thought it was too much trouble.

Hello Everyone,
In the olden-days, back when Windows Mobile 6.1 was the latest and greatest mobile OS on the planet, as it ran flawlessly on my beloved Samsung Blackjack 2, during the hustle and bustle of daily life, I would sometimes, very rarely mind you, find myself taking out my frustrations on my wireless device, said device being referred to these days as a Feature Phone, by, let us say, pressing the keys a little more enthusiastically than normal (smile).
