February 19, 2012 by
Today has looked a lot like the picture I posted above- we’ve been in the airport for most of it. Our originally plane was set to leave Manchester, NH at 6:20 am this morning, and we had planned to wake up around 3 am to drive to the airport.

I’ve been looking at Hyundai Elantras and getting an idea of what I’m looking for and what I’m willing to pay. The most interesting part so far has been feeling out the dealerships to see who has the best people.

SpiderOak, a superior alternative to Dropbox
January 21, 2012 by

Recently (as in a couple months ago), I haven't been as pleased with Dropbox, and decided to look at … [Read more...]

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Review
December 26, 2011 by
I’ve had my Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone for a little over a week, and I can honestly say that it is one of the best phones I’ve ever owned.
