Hannah and her prying eyes….

I was sitting with my (8) year old she asked me if I quit Facebook.  I was caught a little bit off-guard because it’s not something I told or would tell her.  After all, she’s eight and not on Facebook.  So I asked her how she knew that.  She replied, I saw it on CarlosRandolph.com… […]

Heated bed for PrintrBot Simple

So a month or so ago I purchased a Simple (kit) from Printrbot.  Built it and it has been great!  The one thing I didn’t like was blue printers tape everytime and that the printout really stuck were “interesting” to remove. I was on Printrbot’s site and saw they had a heatbed upgrade for $30 […]

It’s April 21st and…

I gave up McDonalds for myself and for my children.  If you have kids then you know how easy it is to stop in for fries and a quick meal.  Since early December 2014, my kids and I have been to a McDonalds once.  And that visit was for a Sundae while waiting for mom […]

New Look… Very Mobilly

Google is about to change it’s search results and make things better for the mobile friendly sites.  My site was not even close to being mobile friendly.  This one is.  Done.  🙂

20150314 is Born

Riding the train and another app worthy idea popped in my head.  Along with 20150309, I’ve now got two more functional ideas to get moving on!  This one is bit more utility but it’s something that I think would be useful; at least it would be for me.  I’m almost tempted to put it out […]

20150309 Is Born

20150309, yes that is a date, is born.  Every once in awhile a thought comes across my mind for a development project.  I’ve always been interested in developing a game but never actually sat down to do it.  Well an idea came across about a month or so ago and it has stuck.  Just sat […]

Farewell Facebook…

Big announcement to my FB friends that I was dropping off of FB.  Kind of sad and weird all at the same time.  Going to miss hear from a few of them on regular basis but will reach and see if I can just have direct messages and what not with them.  Anyway… it’s a […]

Raspberry Pi – what a great system!

The Raspberry Pi 2 was just release and I had it show up on my doorstep last week.  It’s an amazing little system and I’m finding more and more use for them.  With a memory chip and a case they will run you about $60.  I’ve gone beyond what can one Raspberry Pi do, I […]

SSH into your home network

In a previous article I talked about how I safely opened an ssh port into my home network and server.  This is one of those thing you better get right, if you don’t then you’ve opened yourself up to all sorts of breaches and hacks.  The fact is that most homes don’t have strong networks […]

My favorite Recipe Manager for iOS

When I need to find a recipe I usually go to all recipes.com.  I like the site because I can find  things quickly and really rely on the comments/ratings that other people provide.  For me it’s like Trip Advisor for recipes. Once I find one and want to use it, I bring up My Recipe […]
