CreateSouth 2010 – A Must Attend Event

Published by Michael under Technical,Travel

The annual CreateSouth conference was held yesterday, April 17th, in Myrtle Beach, SC, and it was a blast. Although this is the third year the event has been held, it was the first year that I got to attend. I will definitely be back next year. In addition to great sessions by social media folks like Tee Morris, Heather Solos, and Jared Smith, there was also great BBQ from the Proud Purveyors of Pork

Changing Cellular Providers

Published by Michael under Technical

OK, I will admit it – though some of you already know – I turned off my iPhone and switched from AT&T to Verizon. It has been just over a month now, and although I do miss having some cellular features available on my iPhone, I really do prefer Verizon to AT&T.

First of all, why did I make the change? Well, for me to be on AT&T with the iPhone was costing about $85 with tax and such. That was for the basic plan with only a five dollar addition for text messaging. All of my family was on Verizon with free calling between them – but not back and forth to me.

By heading the call of cellular sales and changing over to their network I was able to be added on to my wife’s plan and have it go up by only $10 per month. So, by switching I am saving about $75 per month or $900 per year.

At that kind of savings you really have to ask if the cellular features of the iPhone were worth it. I can still use my iPhone as an iPod Touch, so all the apps and such are still there. From Verizon I got a Samsung Intensity™ in Flamingo Red. It is cool. Has a slide out keyboard for texting and a pretty good little camera. I also added a cheap 2gig micro-sd card to store pictures and some music on.

Great Session at #BarCampChs

Published by Michael under Technical

Using social media to create better communities. This is good stuff! #ChsConnect

BarCamp is a local, ad-hoc “un-conference” where those attending determine what will be presented. Sessions, discussions, demos and interaction occur from everyone attending, not a select panel of speakers. BarCamp provides an open environment for learning and sharing knowledge.

An iMac G3 and a G4 Powerbook. Looking to get the G3 up to Tiger and the PowerBook up to Leopard. Actually this is kind of trying my patience…
