Long time readers know that I am a big believer in Apple products, and have pretty well equipped my immediate family (and myself) with iPads, iPhones, iMacs and even a MacBook Pro. There are lots of advantages to having my computing platform on the Apple “standard” and only a few “disadvantages”. I have quotes around…
You know that mobile is the current must have technology right? If you don’t, you might want to read some of the posts that I have written about it in the past, and get yourself up to speed. (Click here to see a list of articles about mobile marketing for real estate agents) What I…
Who doesn’t like free stuff! Certainly not me, especially when it is free tech stuff! (I’m also down for free food, Starbucks, Amazon, airfare, hotel stays and gasoline in case you were wondering!)

I spent most of the month of June in England, Wales and Ireland. I’ve been to England and Wales before (and Scotland) but I’ve never been to Ireland, so I was particularly looking forward to the trip.
