A Great Geocaching Accessory

Curt — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 15:28:58 +0000

I like to travel a lot when I get a chance. One of the things I like to do when I travel is a bit of geocaching. If you don’t know what geocaching is, it is probably best described as a treasure hunt or a global game of hide and seek. You use a gps to find containers of items others have hidden. All you really need is a sense of adventure and a gps to take part. Although with the use of a digital gps camera sharing your adventures with your family or online has never been easier.

An Alternative to Trendy Tablets

It seems like so many people are making the switch to tablets these days. Personally, I don’t see the allure of those over-grown cell phones. For my money netbook computers are still a better bet. If I only want to access the internet I’ll just use my phone, but if I want actual power than a tablet isn’t going to cut it. With a netbook I can actually use programs that are helpful; Microsoft Office, Photoshop and I can actually play games as well. To me its not even a contest when trying to decide between a netbook and a tablet.

A New Item for My Bucket List

When searching around the internet for new and exciting products, I noticed a growing trend. I see that people are starting to buy more and more buy motorcycle gps units. Truthfully, I never even knew they existed, but then again I don’t ride. However, I will say that it makes sense because it seems like all of the friends that I have with bikes go on long trips with them. I have to admit it would be a great feeling riding cross country on a motorcycle. That may be something I have to add to my bucket list.

Replacing My Girlfriend’s Phone

My girlfriend is in the need of a new phone so I told her to search online to see what she liked. After she makes a list I am going to sift through it to help her make the best choice. One of the phones I know she is in love with is the htc desire. So, I am going to do a little bit of research on the reliability of this model. I’m a big fan of HTC phones so I am sure this model will be no different but I’ll still have to do my research.

Getting a Laptop Fixed the Right Way

Last year my girlfriend brought her sister a computer for a graduation present. It was a pretty nice model but not the one I would have recommended had I been asked for input. Now the laptop is acting up. She asked if I would take a look at it but truthfully I think the most prudent move would be to refer it back to the company. I mean that is why you have a laptop warranty, its better to get the problem solved permanently than for me to slap a bandaid on a problem that may pop up again sometime in the future.
