Utilizing a VPN or SSH tunnel to secure your data...
Recently I had a client call me in a panic asking what to do about their hacked Yahoo account. Of course, the first thing anyone should do is CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD ASAP! Assuming the hacker hasn’t already changed it and locked you out of your own account, changing the password puts you back in control. But without knowing how the hacker gained access, they may just hack it again.
After a...

JustStand.org: Combat Sitting Disease and Join the...
I’ve been standing at my desk for many months now, and I must say, I’m loving it! I feel much better and no longer have pain in my right leg. Actually, sitting for an extended period of time feels less comfortable to me than standing! I’m that used to it, and you can be too. via juststand.org Posted via web from Keegoid’s Posterous

Weekly Guilt-free IT Maintenance
Regular maintenance for a better computer!
As always, I continue to assess and improve the maintenance process on my client’s computers. There are three goals I’ve been working this past month to achieve:
Transfer some maintenance tasks to the middle of the night to reduce maintenance duration at peak usage times (evenings). I’m paying some money for each of my client’s...

Cloud computing, a green choice? - Official Gmail...
This is such a great article. It describes quite simply how cloud computing saves energy versus running your own server. At KM Authorized, I love to implement cloud-based solutions whenever practical. Not only does it reduce capital costs for a small business, it can also increase reliability and productivity.

Completely Hands Free Texting, Meet iSpeech |...
Completely hands free text messaging! Cool! Is it really much safer though? I find even attempting to communicate with technology and voice prompts makes me lose concentration on the road.
Of course, this type of hands free technology won’t be so necessary when cars drive themselves! haha.

Google Voice Blog: Global SPAM filtering
So cool! Say goodbye to telemarketers calling at dinner time.
Thanks to the help of the thousands of Google Voice users who mark calls as spam everyday—and our own spam identification tools—it is now possible to automatically redirect calls, texts, and voicemails from any of the numbers in our database directly into your spam folder.

Best Graphics Cards For The Money: July 2011
If you’re in the market for a new graphics card, this is the guide to read. Tom’s Hardware does an excellent job of comparing cards at different price ranges.
Detailed graphics card specifications and reviews are great—that is, if you have the time to do the research. But at the end of the day, what a gamer needs is the best graphics card within a certain budget.
So, if you don’t...

OBi110/OBi100 are making VoIP easy with Google...
via truvoipbuzz.com
Now the OBi100 is finally in stock at Amazon.com! There’s a promo code to save $16: HELLOOBI
The difference between the OBi100 and OBi110 is the OBi100 doesn’t have the FXO port for a land line, but most people don’t need that if it’s going to be used with Google Voice.

Okay, just tried this out and I have to say, Rapportive is the most useful and awesome tool I’ve seen since…well…my last blog post. If you use Gmail or Google Apps and work out of your inbox, like I do far too often, I suggest you give Rapportive a whirl.

In the past, one of the more difficult things to do with Google Maps for mobile was to follow the walking directions while walking. It was just not simple enough. Now that Google Maps Navigation supports walking navigation style directions, I won’t be walking into street poles or pot holes trying to figure out where to walk next. =)

Frequently I have a need to download and install the same software on all my client’s computers. I’m forced to repeat the process of downloading the software from various sites and then installing on each computer.

Useful CSV template for importing into Google...
I found the instructions provided by Google on how to create a custom CSV file for importing your contacts into Google Contacts to be lacking to say the least! To figure out what column headings Google Contacts accepts for import, I created a test group and added an example contact with all available fields filled in. Since Google Contacts doesn’t let you export individual contacts, I then...

Fortunately, Gmail still has an awesome search capability so even if you bury your emails into nested labels, hopefully you’ll still be able to find them.
