Andy Donaldson and the quest for the iPad 3
Fri, Mar 16th 2012 3:40p Andy Donaldson Okay so it's not really the iPad 3 but it is the new iPad. Our adventure started off today at about quarter of five when I woke up and decided I was going go ahead to Best Buy. I finally had enough money saved that I could get my very own iPad and I decided I was going to wait until the announcements came out a week ago to make my move. Should I get a new iPad or should I go for a lower price iPad 2? So after some online consultation for others and after hearing the announcement it was decided [read] Keywords: blogger

Android - I'm just not feelin it (Yes I'm venting about Android, again)
Mon, Jan 30th 2012 10:33a Andy Donaldson Maybe it's because I'm getting older and don't feel like screwing around with stuff like I used to. But when it comes to Android tablet devices, I'm just not getting it. I've been using them for a couple of months now and they just don't stand up to an iPad. At least for me. At Thanksgiving, I stayed up all night to snag an online deal for a Dell Streak 7. When it arrived, I was like a kid at Christmas. Immediately set forth on setting it up with all the cool stuff I could. Skype, w [read] Keywords: lotus

Lotusphere 2012. It Wasn't The End Of The World After All.
Sun, Jan 22nd 2012 6:43p Andy Donaldson It's done and in the books.I've started this blog post about 300 times in my head I think. The run downs has been posted about what an incredibly awesome OGS it was last Monday morning and what an incredibly odd CGS on Thursday. No need to repeat it here, so I won't. Lotusphere, in name, still remains. They even announced at the end of the OGS the dates for Lotusphere 2013. I speculated on here that this would be the last one and next year the event would be under a different name. I wa [read] Keywords: lotusphere

The one overlooked Lotusphere item. The Playlist.
Thu, Jan 12th 2012 6:15a Andy Donaldson Remember the mix tape? Back in the day, it was the soundtrack of your life. As soon as you got your drivers license it was one of the first things you did. Well, that's not true. I remember doing the "tape a song on your boom box off the radio" deal to get all the songs you like when I was younger. But still, you wanted your music to go with you. Now fast forward 30 years and most all of us of some form of iToy or DROIDDDDDDDDD..... And those devices make it pretty simple to take tunes [read] Keywords: lotusphere

13 Years a Dad
Wed, Dec 14th 2011 5:22a Andy Donaldson Dear Alex, It was on this day in 1998 that I "officially" became a Dad for the first time. In a courtroom in Tuscarawas County, OH in front of a judge, I made my intentions known. And after several minutes of Q&A it was done. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was over before we knew it. But I realized as I was dating your Mom that we were meant to be together as a family forever. Your Mom, I know, agrees with that as well. In fact, you were the one to call me Dad first without an [read] Keywords: blogger

Andy Donaldson and the case of the missing LotusNotes853.itw
Fri, Dec 9th 2011 10:41a Andy Donaldson So if you've been following my manic tweets lately, you may have picked up that I'm doing a session at Lotusphere 2012. My session stems from a document I wrote up, and have tried to keep updated, several years about about InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes. Great app, free, learn all about at my Show -N- Tell. Since I am putting together the session slides, I have to go through and do step by step screenshots. Not a big deal. But, when you're using InstallShield Tuner, one of the requi [read] Keywords: ibm
