Good old fashioned ice with cream and sugar

November 1, 2008

A Different Colored USB Drive for Every Occasion

September 25, 2008

I’m always looking for a way to transfer files from one site to another. Sometimes it’s absolutely impossible to email the file because the computer may not be connected to the web.
