Prof: NO! NO! NO!

Assistant: Professor, what’s the matter?

Prof: That fiend Doctor Spammer has infected my system with a virus! He has deleted all of my files! My research, my data, my vacation photos, ALL GONE!

Doctor Spammer: *Evil laughter*

Prof: All it will do is play that sound file!

Asst: But Professor, that’s easy to fix! I set up a wireless network a while ago and started backing up everything off-site! We just need to install a clean operating system and restore everything from backups. And while the restore is working, you can access your most important files on my laptop. See, solved!

Prof: Miss Anderson, I had no idea you knew so much about technology! That’s Brilliant!

Asst: I read all about it on The Nifty Tech Blog. They make technology easy and talk about it in a way anyone can understand. You should read it. You can find it at www.niftytechblog.com.

Have you been wondering what I’ve been up to?

by Doc Coleman on May 15, 2017 · 0 comments

in Announcements, Personal Stamp

It has been a while since I’ve been able to post a new review to this blog. I have been extremely busy and I have had little time to order my thoughts on the subject of technology. So what have I been doing? I’ve been writing. Specifically, I’ve been writing and editing, and publishing, a novel. My first novel, but not my last. [click to continue…]

Bass Egg Verb

Post image for Bass Egg Verb

Every now and then, a product just falls into your lap and you find that it is a solution to a problem that  you hadn’t realized that you had. This is a skill that some companies, like Apple, tend to do constantly. When done well, it leads to some absolutely amazing products! Today’s review is a product that I believe fits in this category. The problem that I didn’t realize I had? When I get up in the morning and get ready for work, I need to sync my phone and load up my daily dose of podcasts, but at the same time, I need to keep my phone with me to play podcasts while I feed the cats, and gather together everything I need to take in to the office. I usually carpool to work, and my time is limited, so I really need to do both at the same time. The solution I didn’t know I was looking for? The Bass Egg Verb. [click to continue…]

Happy 4th Birthday, Nifty Tech Blog!

Post image for Happy 4th Birthday, Nifty Tech Blog!

That’s right, four years ago, on February 1st 2010, the first Nifty Tech blog post went live. While technology has come a long way since that first post, it is remarkable how so many of those early posts are still relevant today. For years is  long time in the technology industry, but I don’t think we’ve had a single Nifty Tech pick that has gone by the wayside. If anything, most of the products have managed to improve since the original reviews. And while things have been slow in the past year, we’re not done yet… [click to continue…]

Why Apple isn’t going to be making an iWatch

Thumbnail image for Why Apple isn’t going to be making an iWatch

While we at the Nifty Tech Blog don’t report on the tech press, that doesn’t mean that we don’t read it. Although sometimes we might wish that we hadn’t. It is a known fact that Apple has hired people to work on wearable technology of late. That much has been well reported. But tech pundits […]

Over the past few months, we’ve had many people contact the Nifty Tech Blog interested in guest posting on the Blog. Unfortunately most of those inquiries haven’t panned out.

Limited time offer for FX Photo Studio!

Thumbnail image for Limited time offer for FX Photo Studio!

I’ve been lax in dealing with my correspondence of late. Personal matters have driven a lot of things to the side, including this blog. So, when I came across an e-mail from MacPhun telling me that their app FX Photo Studio was going to be free in the iTunes store for just one day in […]

Apple USB Superdrive – A cautionary tale

Thumbnail image for Apple USB Superdrive – A cautionary tale

This article isn’t a real review. To be honest, it can’t be, as I had the product in my possession for a grand total of four days. As the headline above says, this is a cautionary tale. It is a warning about the way that companies advertise their products to make them sound better than […]

Yes, it’s been a while since our last review went live. Sometimes it gets like that, with new revisions coming out right when you think a review is ready, or discovering some problem that knocks a promising candidate right out of the water. And sometimes, life gets in the way. This post is about some […]

It has been a while since I’ve done one of these. It isn’t that there aren’t plenty of folks out there worth following. Quite the contrary, there are a lot of them. The fault has been mine. I’ve simply been trying to work too many projects. But this isn’t about me. This is about someone […]
