Sitting on hold… Leaves me cold…

First and foremost I would like to thank all the fans of Tech Tip Tuesday for all of your kind emails letting me know how much you’ve missed Tech Tip. I am trying to come back slowly with what I think are a little more personal, laid back style Tech Tips of stuff that I use and love.

Nothing drives me more mad than sitting on hold when I’m trying to get help with something or I’m trying to get some “Customer Service”. In this, the return of Tech Tip Tuesday, I’m sharing a great service that has made that wait time a thing of the past.

Special Thanks: To the students of HVA thanks again for the awesome gift you guys are a real motivation to me, and are in no small part, my reason for trying to figure out how to get Tech Tip Tuesday back on the air… or maybe I should say back on the web.

The Magic of That Mix

With services like pandora, grooveshark, lastfm and about a billion other streaming music services, our own music libraries sometimes get ignored.

Death & Evolution

By now everyone knows that on wednesday of last week Apple’s co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs lost a 7 year battle with cancer.

Even with his passing Steve Jobs and Apple stand on the precipice of ushering in the next evolution of technology and in this weeks Tech Tip I’ll tell you all about it.

Feel Free to Experiment

I love to experiment with the newest services and tools that are available online. In addition I have found that selling stuff on craigslist, ebay etc is much better than having to hold a garage sale. However the only way to really use many of these services is to give them my email address or ugh in some cases even my phone number.

Luckily there are a few services out there designed specifically for people like me who want to try out these tools without giving them access to my personal info.
