I.T. Consultant - What Do You Do?

People are always asking me: “You have clients? What do you do for them? Oh, you’re an I.T. consultant? What kind of I.T.? What can you do?”

The main thing to take away is that a consultant is someone who has answers in a specific field. People are always trying to narrow down exactly what [...]

Apple’s 3GS iPhone

I recently purchased a new 16GB iPhone 3GS, to replace the old 8GB iPhone 3G that I had been using since it’s release in July of 2008. I had long been coveting the upgrade, and was a little reluctant because I expect a new iPhone to be launched this June 2010, only [...]
