All Sorts Of Problems With AT&T U-Verse

Jan 05, 12 All Sorts Of Problems With AT&T U-Verse

Posted by Michael in Other Things

When we switched from Dish Network to AT&T U-Verse for our television needs, we had some pretty high hopes.  I had expected the U-Verse to behave at least as well as the service we got from the Dish Network.  Maybe possibly be better, since we never had on-demand shows before.  Boy, was I disappointed.  Within a week of...

My iPhone Is Now Lifeproof

Nov 01, 11 My iPhone Is Now Lifeproof

Posted by Michael in Other Things

The day after Chrissy got her iPhone, she went to the AT&T store and bought a new red iFrogz case for it.  It has nice features, like a camera lens slider and a connector port cover, but it’s large and bulky.  The silicone rubber covering makes it hard to pull in and out of your pocket and it attracts lint.  I have no...

iPhones Ordered As Soon As Possible

Oct 28, 11 iPhones Ordered As Soon As Possible

Posted by Michael in Other Things

Although I was not happy about Apple releasing the iPhone 4S instead of the iPhone 5 this year, Chrissy and I were in desperate need of new phones.  Our old 3G iPhones were dog slow and would crash often.  I found that a hard reboot would alleviate most of the problems, but this was not a long-term solution.  Waiting another year...

We are going to make a move to AT&T U-Verse.  We have been using the Dish Network for our cable needs for the last seven years.  But then Chrissy and I paid a visit to the local AT&T store to ask questions about her new iPhone.  During the troubleshooting, the clerk gave us the sales pitch for AT&T U-Verse.  We would...

Are You Sure It’s Not An iPhone 5?

Oct 07, 11 Are You Sure It’s Not An iPhone 5?

Posted by Michael in Other Things

I have pre-ordered the new iPhone 4S for me and Chrissy.  That was a harder decision to make than I thought it would be.  Because Apple is so secretive about their products, there was no telling what they would unveil on October 4th during their “Let’s Talk iPhone” event.  But that didn’t stop people from...

Posted by Michael in Being A Dad, Other Things

Although our trip to the Chicago Comic Con was not terribly great, there was one really neat thing that happened to us.  We got to meet Peter Mayhew, the 7’3″ actor who played Chewbacca in the Star Wars movies, while he was there signing autographs.  I know that he does the convention circuit now, selling his books and...

Is Google+ Better Than Facebook?

Jul 20, 11 Is Google+ Better Than Facebook?

Posted by Michael in Other Things

As far as I can tell at this point, Google+ is almost the exact same thing as Facebook.  Except Facebook has advertising, social games and weird content ownership rules.  I suppose that if you miss the gaming aspects of Facebook, it will be just a matter of time before Google and Zynga team up to bring social games (Mafia Wars,...

Posted by Michael in Other Things

Today is my birthday and everyone on Facebook knows it.  Chrissy and I joined Facebook last year, and it sends a birthday notice to everyone that you’re friends with on the site.  All of your Facebook friends then posts birthday wishes on your wall.  It’s really pretty nice, like getting a hundred birthday cards at...
