I’ve been writing about the Dots Gloves D200 three times before, last time was December 4th where I gave a quick review of the Dots Gloves D200. I concluded that, for me, it’s easier to control the iPhone using my nose than using these gloves. When it comes to using them as ordinary gloves, however, … Read more →
As a blogger, it’s always nice when other bloggers come to you, asking for an interview. Usually I’m happy to be part of it and I’ve done 3 interviews so far. No big deal, but it’s 3 more than what I had expected to do. One of the last two interviews were by DWHNOW.com, which, … Read more →
This is a very short post on these topics: Personal, iPhone, introvert brains and Megan Fox. Last night when I couldn’t sleep, I decided maybe it was time to try something new. I went on to the iTunes Wifi store on my iPhone to find the most boring podcast out there, to help me fall … Read more →
During the weekend when I wanted to go for a walk, I couldn’t find my iPhone earbuds. After searching for a few minutes I remembered that I stored them in my pants as I walked up the stairs, coming home from my last walk. Where were those pants now? In the washing machine! Not much … Read more →
I have an online bank account with NetEller that I use for online stuff, much like PayPal etc., except that NetEller also offers you a prepaid MasterCard to use all over the world and in shops. Which is great! But today I found out they had disabled my account (again!) to “protect my personal information”. … Read more →
This has got to be the worst customer support experience I’ve ever had – ever! Pull up a chair and pop some corn, it’s story time. Basically the story goes like this. A co-worker calls me up saying his Internet doesn’t work. Well, I’m the CTO so I offer to go and help him after … Read more →
I didn’t really plan on it, but while I saw it at the shop I decided to pick it up anyway, The Lost Symbol from Dan Brown. I was going to wait till November when it’s released in my primary language but since one of my goals with this blog, techpatio.com, is to improve my … Read more →
I’m not that famous (if any!), let’s just clear that bit up before we go any further 🙂 Never the less, I was invited to do an interview with Famous Bloggers Club which of course I was happy to do and by doing so, I have joined the ranks of bloggers such as Extreme John, … Read more →
Who ever said that glossy screens sucked because of their reflection, clearly never had to watch Manchester United vs Arsenal on a TV located behind them… Once you try a glossy screen you’ll instantly notice that something is different, if it’s not the reflection from a light or something, it’s the increased contrast due to … Read more →
Last week I was very close to donating €10 to a 17-year old girl who was injured in an accident here in Malta where a lightning set collapsed and injured her spinal cord. The complete treatment should cost €150,000 and she needs to start treatment as soon as possible, in order to increase her chances … Read more →
I found this video on human mindset by Karl Moore as part of the 30 Day Challenge to be very interesting and true indeed – I already knew about the principles explained in the video, but lots of people don’t – and even if they do – it’s good to have it refreshed in your memory, every now and then.
In this video Karl is talking about how to overcome self pity. I won’t give out all the details here, you would have no reason for watching the video then 🙂
While watching the Fun Friday & Income Report Breakdown by Deneil Merritt, I noticed a thunderfly (thrips) bug starting to wander around on the inside of my Samsung LCD monitor. I don’t know what it did, maybe it was trying to rate Deneil’s video or looking for the “Digg!”-button. Or maybe it was trying to … Read more →
We should all know how important it is to be able to accept feedback from others, specially constructive feedback, which allows us to improve ourselves, or the project or whatever received the feedback. One way of giving feedback is to simply let it out there. Say it like you mean it, just like when the … Read more →
Inspired by Dragon Bloggers Top Television Shows-post, I decided to make my own list of the 10 most favorite TV shows of all time – according to me, at least. The list is in no particular order, as it depends on my mood what kind of show I’m most into at the moment.
Don’t you just love to sleep in? I certainly do. But I also love to wake up refreshed and ready for another great work week. But sometimes getting up Monday morning can be a bit…. tough? Specially if you, like me, have a tendency to stay up too late watching TV, reading blogs etc.
Here’s a tip I once learned how to make it easier to wake up and get out of bed, not just Monday mornings, but any mornings where you might feel a bit down.
The key is to find something that motivates you to get up and start your day. This is “easily” done by thinking a bit ahead, searching for something that you look really forward to, which makes you happy. When you feel happy, you will get a lot of “happy chemicals” going on inside yourself, which is good. Like Dopamine, which controls your body’s “pleasure center” – the area of the brain that allows you to enjoy life.
That’s right, last night I ordered my iPhone 3GS. It’s expensive, but not as expensive if I had bought it unlocked in Italy or if I got it with a contract that I would not use because I’m perfectly fine with the carrier I already have. The price? 670 euros, that’s US$ 940. I purchased … Read more →
