Every year on the first day of school, elementary school students anxiously treat the butterflies in their stomach. The anticipation of who they were going to meet in their class, what their teacher will be like, and the new beginnings of being a year older bring excitement and nervousness. Fast forward a few years and […]

New Magicians and the USB Drive
From learning to pull a rabbit out of a hat to finding quarters behind a child’s ear, becoming a magician is an exciting time. Magicians need to stay organized and focused in order to become successful. To start, an aspiring magician must do their research. They should visit their local library and browse the internet […]
Sell Your Recipes on Custom Flash Drives
Ever tasted a delicious seasoned roast at a restaurant and wondered just what spices they put in it to make it taste that way? Or wondered just what combination of ingredients those caterers used for that moist pound cake? Chances are you asked or looked around to see if you could find a recipe for […]
Bands Go Marching with USB Flash Drives
In an age of information piracy, such as illegal music downloads, how do bands keep up with tech trends? A new wave of tech-minded musicians are turning to the highly customizable flash drive or MP3 flash players like those by CFGear. According to Wired magazine, musicians and bands such as The White Stripes, Bob Marley, […]
Master of the USB Flash Drive – CFgear
“Jack of all trades…master of one.” This well-known description from way back when comes to my mind often when I’m perusing CFgear.com’s website. If you visit their site, you don’t have to be the brightest crayon in the box to understand, at a glance, exactly what they sell—USB flash drives, and USB flash drives only. […]
SectorLink Down Again – Feb 13, 2009
Websites hosted through SectorLink of Flint, Michigan are experiencing some downtime this morning or very sluggish response rates. I’ve tried to call them on their toll free number but keep getting thrown into an endless loop. Can’t ftp the site I’m working on, and most of my client sites hosted on their servers are not […]
Cheap Printers Give Me a Terrible Migraine
It’s great to be able to type up a document on the computer, edit it, and print it out when you’re ready. Word processing programs are generally easy to use despite the occasional annoyance in setting margins and figuring out random settings. Finally, you’re ready to print out that paper. You click the print button […]
Can’t stop using those creative flash drives
I have a friend who just recently graduated from high school. He was homeschooled by his mother and received a very good education. His mother is a very talented artist who took his schooling very seriously. She went outside the bounds of structured curriculum and researched unusual ways to give him a well rounded education. […]
Christmas Thrills
I love Christmas time. It is my absolute favorite time of the year. In fact, if we could have Christmas all year around, I would be thrilled. As a child, my parents did a wonderful job of getting up excited, decorating, baking, entertaining and sharing the joy of Christmas and Christ’s birth. I can still […]
SectorLink Servers Down – Dec 1, 2008
Nothing like learning that Sector Link (a web host in Michigan) is apparently having problems with its DNS or servers. We’ve got many, many websites completely down as a result. Best guess I have is that the problem began right before 10 AM EST. Hard to be sure. Even their own website is down. Phone […]
It’s time to start Christmas shopping – already!
I can’t believe how quickly Christmas is coming. When I was little it always seemed like it would never arrive. Now that I’m getting a bit older (note, I’m still not labeling myself as old!) it seems like it’s here in a flash. I was in Sam’s Club on Tuesday night and heard the Christmas […]
KR15A Big Red Button to the rescue
My almost three year old son took a tumble in a corn maze at Swamp Fox Farm this morning. Nothing was hurt but he did get quite dirty and shed multiple tears. It was a little bit humorous because the whole reason he was crying was because he got all muddy. He wanted me to […]
Rethinking Flash Drives
It’s hard to believe that I once believed that flash drives were merely tools. After a little bit of time perusing CFgear.com, I’m firmly convinced that flash drives are yet another bit of technology that is just as much fun as it is functional, if not more so! Gone are the heyday days of the […]
USB Flash Drive Adventures with CFgear
Flash drives in bulk or singly may have been around for a while, but I’m just now beginning to grasp some measure of a technological beginner’s understanding of their features and benefits. With all I’ve learned about flash drives, I’m barely scratching the surface, especially since there are changes practically every day. As with all […]
X10 Security Systems Catch Laundromat Thieves
There is a Laundromat located to the rear of my husband’s business. It, along with the car wash which is attached to my husband’s place of work, has been burglarized several times within the last few months. One of the village vandals keeps coming around and busting open the change machine and helping himself as […]
