Fun With Flash Drives

This week’s Staples back-to-school ad featured flash drives meant to appeal to the 6 to 10- year -old crowd. It prompted my 20-year-old son, Joseph, to have that “feeling really old” feeling that I get on the average of every couple hours.

He recalled that back in the old days (6 years ago in the 8th grade), only his very techie teacher had this amazing thing, the size of a stick of gum, that could... READ MORE

Modern Reading

dragging my heels

I am not one of the millions of people who uses an e-book reader, but the more I hear about them the more intrigued I become.

If you’re thinking, um, e-book vs. regular book is sooo two years ago, I’ll admit I am slow-moving when it comes to technology. I know all kinds of people started using these gadgets a few years ago, I just have not felt compelled to give one a try.

Lately, however, it seems... READ MORE 


Did You Know You Could Do This With a Kindle?

This is my recent anniversary present — an Amazon Kindle.

Three months ago, I never would have dreamed of wanting such a thing, belonging, as I do, to that group of people (generally over age 45, although there are younger exceptions), who disdainfully sniff at the idea of ebooks.

“Who wants to spend any more hours staring at a screen than I have to?” we say.

“I like holding my book in my hand while... READ MORE 


PlayStation Protection

Making sure your identity is safe...

If you’ve got gamers in the house, I hope you’ve been paying attention to the recent Sony PlayStation debacle, where a security breach has resulted in the private information of the network’s 70+ million users being compromised.

Your family is impacted by this if you have a PlayStation that is connected to the PlayStation Network. If your kids simply use the game console to play offline, you shouldn’t... READ MORE

Prayer in the Digital Age

A "must read" for today's wired Catholic!

Later in the week, I’ll be excited to share with you the continuing adventures I’ve been enjoying for the past few days.

Matt is the author of the brand new book Prayer in the Digital Age.

I’ve known Matt for a few... READ MORE
