I’ve had XM radio since September 2005. At that time, I bought the boom box, car kit, and home kit accessories. I mostly listened to it when I was in the truck. A couple years ago, my car kit died right before a long drive (the time XM satellite radio … Continue reading →
I’ve mentioned my fascination with the Mac program called Things (also available for iPhone/iPod Touch) that I use to implement David Allen’s Getting Things Done philosophy. It works great, but my Mac is a Mini and I don’t haul it with me when we head to San Antonio for a … Continue reading →

I haven’t had much chance to use it, but part of the … Continue reading →
