What Has Happened to Continuity?
Was it something I said or did? Why aren’t you talking to me any more? Did I not do everything you asked? No, I’m not talking about dating here, although, in some way I sort of am. I am talking about being “dumped” by a brand. This is particularly painful if you are a blogger […]
Wii U – Will U? I Will! Why I like the Nintendo Wii U
I’m not a hard core gamer. I do have an Xbox (original & 360), a PS3 and the original Wii. Now I have the Nintendo Wii U. I’m more of a social family gamer, that is to say, I only game with my kids (or occasionally when I have a free moment at night and […]
A Solid, Tech-Filled, All-Around Performer – 2011 Ford Explorer Test Drive

HighTechDad’s 2011 Father’s Day Gift Guide – Products I Have Reviewed & Like

Ford & Sony Bring “Cast of Dads” Members Together (Almost) – “Family Road Trips”
I’m encouraged that big brands out there are starting to listen. There is a difference between simply pushing your product traditionally, and using real voices, people and opinions to create stories around these products and brands. The first is a traditional method that frequently gets lost in the clutter of all of the other brand […]
Hang In There Sony…And Thanks for Your Continued Innovation
It happens to the best of us. We plan for the worst, do all of our due diligence, prepare for the unexpected, test and re-test and cross our fingers a lot. But inevitably, there is always something that we didn’t think of. I could be talking about the recent Amazon Web Services outage or the […]
