For those of you checking out this blog because it purports to save money, time and the earth through tech, I’m still trying to offer that service. But I’ve been distracted recently with an experiment to cover more local cable and Internet services, cell phones and some all around cool gadgets. This blog is always evolving in order to report on useful tech for Orange County readers and beyond. Since saving money and time continues to be useful, I’ll keep the Alt+Save idea for now and post wrapups on weekends. At least until this blog evolves again. Enjoy:
