Donny Claxton — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 17:54:02 +0000

We are four days away from Dec. 21, 2012 and the supposed end of the Maya calendar. What an interesting ride this all has been. As you know, work began innocent enough last year on The Wonders Expedition site. That grew into a connection with Dr. Mark Van Stone, just a short while after we [...]

All Smooth with iOS 5 and Lion 10.7.2, Except

Donny Claxton — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 21:49:23 +0000

UPDATED 10/14/11 1:14 p.m.: I figured out this morning what happened. When iCloud went down at one point yesterday, it took that account offline, so when it came back on, it didn’t because of the requirement to manually bring it back online. All is well now. All has gone well with the updating. It took [...]

There’s No App For That….

The thing to remember about Steve Jobs dying is that even if you run a company that has more cash on hand than ExxonMobil or the US Government, there are still just somethings that modern medicine hasn’t been able to cure. When it is your time to go home to be with the Lord, [...]

There’s Power in Twitter–Literally

Donny Claxton — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 21:46:28 +0000

This morning at 5:58 a.m. I awoke abruptly to the fact that my power was out. It came back on for a few minutes and I rested again. But then it went off. And at 3:40 p.m. it’s still off. I patiently awaited it to come back on throughout the morning. I heard of Chase [...]

Sketchbook Express from The Mac App Store–FREE

Donny Claxton — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 23:15:48 +0000

I was surfing through the new Mac App Store last night and happened upon Sketchbook Express by Autodesk. It’s free. There is a paid Pro version and I don’t recall how much it costs, but I have to say, this is pretty darned cool and for the moment, I’m contented with the free version. Can’t [...]

Donny Claxton — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 19:00:40 +0000

Thankfully, and I’m sincerely not trying to tempt you Fate, but I have yet to get any of my iPhones/iPod/iPad wet and need to take it in to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store and ask them for help, I mean mercy. I’ve seen it happen to others though. Depending on the age [...]

My Beatles Stage–It was 25 years or more today….

Donny Claxton — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 18:00:55 +0000

It more more than 25 years ago today, when The Beatles I began to play. I remember Dad washing our car in Merced, California back in 1969 or ’70 and having his old record player outside and playing the two surviving original 45s we have on Swan Records of She Loves You and I’ll Get [...]

If I were Jeff Bezos… I’d start a price war TODAY!

Donny Claxton — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:53:17 +0000

If I were Jeff Bezos or one of his high-dollar PR people from Amazon, I think I would have found a way to hold a big news conference TODAY, Jan. 26, 2010 in San Fran to announce something new and radical about the Kindle–like I was cutting it's price by 25-30 percent because I "think [...]
