Another good thing screwed up

Back when I lived in Chicago, and when I was in that 18-34 year old male category, I stumbled upon TechTv’s show “Attack of the Show”.  This was a geek tech that covered all things geeky.  I also found X-Play for great and honest game reviews.  Adam Sesler and Morgan Webb were great.  Morgan, who […]

Gun laws and what should be done

I’ve been listening to all the rhetoric and news blogs.  There were somethings I knew and somethings I didn’t know about.  Before proceeding I do want to say that I believe people should have the right bear arms.  Handguns for protection, shooting enthusiasm as well.  Rifles for hunting, shooting enthusiasm as well.  But there are […]

iPhone 5 – Is it a buy for me

It’s a weird matrix of decisions points but I’ve boiled it down to this.  My girlfriend has what I call a Verizion POS (piece o’ ….).  She says it works fine but I don’t think she gets it.  She didn’t have an iPad and didn’t want one.  I got her one as a gift and […]

MacBook Air 11″ – How has it held up

I’ve got a stock 11″ MacBook Air, the 4GB/128GB model.  It’s got an 1.6Ghz i5 processor and the only modification I’ve done is great skin on the top from Gelaskins. I wasn’t sure how I was going to like the 11″ screen but to be honest it’s been fine.  It’s running at a 720p resolution […]

Life, do you have control or not?

A friend of mine on Facebook just asked that question.  Someone he knew with two kids and a wife just passed away at the young age of 37.  Those of you that know me know I lost my wife who was 40 and I’m now raising two very young kids.  So this question of control […]

Follow-up: Best Buy is sinking fast

It is odd that yesterday I decided to follow up a prediction from last year on Best Buy and then today there is an article that Mr. Dunn is resigning as Best Buy’s CEO.  Here is quote that Mr. Dunn provided: “I have enjoyed every one of my 28 years with this company, and I […]

Hello… Best Buy! Think Best Buy, think!

Back in July of 2011 I posted about the sad story of Borders and how it went by the way side.  At the end of the article I mentioned that Best Buy was on death row, making it way to the big chair. https://www.carlosrandolph.com/2011/07/124 I went to a Best Buy back around Christmas and it […]

Steve Jobs Biography by Walter Isaacson

Last night I finished reading the biography, of course it was on my iPad.  It took me 4 day with a few longer sessions strung together.  That’s how I read things when I’m really interested.  I went in with the intention of just wanting to know a little bit more about a man that I’ve […]

Steve…

It’s 7:00pm CST on Wednesday, October 5th and I just came down to catch up on some work.  I pulled up Twitter and saw a posting asking people to post memories of of Apple and Steve Jobs.  At first I thought it was something to share with Steve, something to give him some inspiration.  Then […]

Bricks vs. Trucks

Today, as a friend of a food truck owner, I saw something that I didn’t realize was taking place. I saw someone from the South Branch Tavern Grille call the Chicago Police Department and complain about vending trucks parked on the street. He used a an old city ordinance that was enacted for safety purposes […]
