On this day in 1973, the world became a little kinder, a little gentler and a little more caring as my wife, Jewel, entered into it. She is the warmest, most thoughtful person I've ever met and she's changed me for the better by order of magnitude. She is a wonderful daughter, an exemplary mother, a model citizen, a supportive wife and an unimaginably amazing friend to me whose presence in my life leaves me hopelessly puzzled as to what I did to deserve it. Happy 50th Jewel - I'd be absolutely nowhere without you.

We perform data recovery miracles all the time - If you've lost your data, gives us a call!

Watch out for scammers! Look how much effort was put into this scam. We call this a "scampaign" and sadly, the cost of creating, mailing and managing this scam will be EASILY offset by the millions they will bring in from it. I received this letter at my home and at work.

We finally made it. We made it together. Enjoy!

Motherboard broken pin. Replace the board? Nope. This customer came in with a DIY build and had accidentally broken a pin off the front panel USB 3.0 header on the motherboard. We removed the broken header and replaced it. Now we're going to do the build for him. Pics of the finished build to come.

I must say, the ASRock Taichi motherboard series has quickly worked its way up list of favorite boards to build with. The attention to detail is stunning and build quality rock solid.

Once again, Father's Day is upon us. The joyous celebration of another year's worth of bad jokes, loud bodily noises and dishes left in the sink because they "need to soak". Happy Father's Day from Bel Air Computer Guy!

Pov: when your USB flash drive has important files but doesn't show up in Windows.

Not only does it remove viruses but apparently it wipes your drive, deleting all of your personal files. Poor guy bought this at Walmart and used it, resulting in 100% data loss. Now it's a costly data recovery job. Thanks

I went to my doctor for anxiety. She put me on a high dose of cable management. Feeling better already!

I appreciate the fine engineering of business-class notebooks, I do, but requiring disassembly to this degree in order to replace a cooling fan just isn't right. Thanks for the adventures
