Check your Password

Just how strong are the passwords you are using? Before you choose passwords you might want to test their security with the Password Meter.

A Must Have for android phones

Go to the Android Market and search for Quick Settings.

This is a great program that makes changing your phone settings quick and all in one place. Did I mention it makes your phone a mobile hotspot? Don't abuse it though because your wireless carrier may crack down on you. But it's great to use in a pinch.

Finally a FREE Bluetooth sync for your Android phone!

I have been searching everywhere for a way to sync my MS Outlook Contacts and Calendar with my Android phone. 

I had a program that was working, but apparently they aren't in business anymore! 

Today I installed  http://www.bluesyncroid.com/.

With a quick PC install and a download from the Android Market I am syncing using a Bluetooth connection between my Laptop and Android phone. This is great because most programs will require a USB cable or they will send your files over the internet where they could be viewed/intercepted from undesirables.  While the PC program is FREE, the phone pp is $4.99.  Small price to pay for the convenience this program gives you.

Do you know Kaspersky?

If you don't, you should! 

I have recommended this program to many people over the years.  If you suspect a virus is lurking on your computer ... do yourself a favor and run the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool.

Life in Ruins?

Not totally.  But I just survived a move from Michigan to Pennsylvania.  Finally have no cardboard boxes surrounding me, although there are several in the basement that will eventually need to be opened.  I can actually see my desk and can use my keyboard.

To make life more interesting ... the stomach flu had to take me out of commission for 3 days.  As if I didn't have enough to do.  Worked as a weight loss program, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I am planning on posting more regularly within the next week.  I have several topics I'd like to touch on.  It's just been absolutely crazy starting with Thanksgiving.  Then Christmas.  Now add planning and executing a move while keeping clients happy.  It hasn't allowed for much free time.

Need Cables?

Are you buying some nifty new electronics this time of year?  You just saved some cash on those items, now here is a way to save cash on the new cables and anything else you might need.

Go to Monoprice and do some shopping.  For instance, you could buy a new 6' HDMI cable at some national chain for anywhere from $20 to $45.  But why?  A HDMI cable is an HDMI cable.  Don't buy into all the hype on the packaging.  Monoprice has that same 6' gold plated cable for around $3.00.  That's right, I said $3.00.

They have a wide variety of items besides HDMI cables.  If it's technology or A/V related.  It's very likely they have it.
