My wife and I live in a technology vortex. Things that work for everybody else go dumb and useless in our hands, which means just about everything these days: computers, phones, clocks, and TVs, coffee makers, stoves, and children's toys.

My wife and I reboot more than most jockeys. discount links of london

Every time we try to use a global positioning system to get to Canarsie or Skokie, it routes us through Katmandu.
