Prevention Is Key – Protect Your PC/Laptop/Phone from Theft or Loss
It saddens me when I hear about a lost or stolen phone or laptop. Just a few weeks ago a friend lost his phone at a restaurant. His whole life was on there and now it’s gone, possible forever. Contacts, customer information, todo lists, you name it. We live in a technology world, with our lives […]
Archos Update – the struggle continues
A week or so ago Archos release the next firmware update for the Gen 8 series of Android based tablets. I’ve been struggling for a solid firmware since the update from 2.1.8 (which was super solid). The latest version does have some neat feature additions (good for you Archos, still adding to the device) but […]
Samsung Moment – Screen Replacement Guide
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine had an accident with his phone. In the midst of the event, the LCD (or AMOLED in the case of the Moment) became cracked and no longer worked at all.

Starting From Scratch
I love playing with Android ROMs. There are so many great developers and ways to tweak your system. About once a month or so I like to wipe everything and start fresh. This is the process I follow to do this. This process is HTC Evo 4G specific but that doesn’t mean it won’t work […]
New ROMs are Fun
I’m not one to wait around for the stable ROMs. No, I like to live life on the edge. So the new RC from Cyanogenmod was right up my ally. Based on Android 2.3.4, Cyanogenmod is a fully loaded (not bloated) custom ROM for a large list of phones. My HTC Evo 4G has been […]
