PhoneBoy Says

Flinging the puck up and down my iPad screen. Because I can. #Felix

Ok so that wasn't too bad. Wife's iPhone now covered by AppleCare+. Beats driving into the Apple Store in Tacoma.

You'd think Apple would make it easy to add AppleCare to a device you already bought. You 'd be wrong.

The beatings will continue until you shut the fuck up.

What the puck?

On the other hand, AT&T 3G still sucks.

Dug up an old wireless router that takes a 3G modem. It can run off batteries. Not as cool as the stuff they sell now but it works.

Most radio stations sound like Spotify: no DJs.

So here I am, 17 years later with the increasingly inaccurate name of PhoneBoy. It has served me well, though, so why change it?

I actually built up a personal brand around the name PhoneBoy doing an FAQ website about Check Point Firewalls in the late 1990s. I had a long career with Nokia's Security Appliance business that was sold to Check Point in 2009.
