Amazon Cloud Drive: A GREAT back-up storage solution
I am very impressed with Amazon Cloud Drive’s latest roll-out. In a prior article, I discussed my family’s personal photo/video storage system. And, Amazon was nowhere in that mix.

Finding the Best Digital Storage Solution for your Family
I have spent years trying to perfect this one. It’s a challenge. Where/how do you house those precious pictures and videos? What’s the best solution that will endure for many years? Hard drives are great as a place to keep files – particularly, large video files. But, if you have several hard drives, it’s hard […]
Consumer Products that Just… Work…
Meet my clock – my alarm clock by my bedside. This is a plain old GE alarm clock sold in the early ’90s. My parents got it for me when I went off to Vanderbilt. Here is a consumer product that works. And, it has kept on working since I was a freshman in college […]

Although it isn’t completely scientific, it does seem to suggest that organic clicks are now flowing into the DTI/Navigational channel for sites that rely on Google for organic traffic. This is a huge problem for most companies that want to understand the value of their SEO […]
Henry Ayres: From NC to the War to Robertson County
My 4th Great Grandfather, Henry Ayres, was born in Lunenburg, Virginia (Bedford County) in 1748. Henry was a 6th generation American. The first Ayres came to the U.S. in 1620 from England.
