In Sunday's post I touched on an upcoming giveaway at Jeffsetter that will prove to be my biggest giveaway yet (granted, it's only my second giveaway).

Leave Your Laptop at Home? I Did and Lived to Tell About It!
When it comes to technology, I am a first generation kind of guy. In 2007, I waited in line with 300 other people for the privilege to spend $599 on an iPhone on opening day. My early adoption tendencies also applied to the iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S and the 5S. First generation Kindle? Yeah, I bought one of those too. When the iPad came along in 2010, I bought one and took it … [Read more...] about Leave Your Laptop at Home? I Did and Lived to Tell About It!

Photo of the Week: Christmas Markets in Milan
Jeffsetter has been radio silent the past 7 days and for that I apologize. I shut the laptop down before we boarded our flight to Milan and didn't pick it up for a solid 4 days. Since I only write posts on my laptop (not on the iPad), that meant no posts while I was in Milan. I finally picked up my computer in the Milan departure lounge to download and organize the 600+ … [Read more...] about Photo of the Week: Christmas Markets in Milan
