While I still need to re-install all of my applications, and customize things to my liking, my laptop is back from the shop, and the diagnostic time, and hard drive replacement came with a total bill of zero dollars. The computer seems to be running fine. I am still hoping at some point to upgrade… Read more

I was hoping to bring my newish MacBook Pro into an Apple store after returning from Virginia, but I arrived back late due to a delay, and then when I checked in at the Bayshore location, they told me that their support staff were too busy to take a look at it that day, and… Read more

So recently, the rocketgenius team had me down to the head office for a Christmas dinner. I was able to see the offices, meet the rest of the people working for the company and interact with them on a personal level. It was a great trip, and while a bit stressful at time, it was… Read more

My apartment is no longer my own, and I am currently working from my grandmother’s couch in Kingston. It is a strange feeling looking at two suitcases and feeling partially like they are all my… Read more

Pack Everything Before Hand It might seem like common sense, but even when you think… Read more

So, I recently bought a laptop. After going through and thinking about what was available in the marketplace, I determined that the following were the most important features: durable, good trackpad, and a good keyboard. It came down to choosing between Lenovo and Apple. Back when Lenovo first acquired IBM’s business, they stuck to what… Read more
