A most critical part of your computer: the hard drives these days come in two forms, the spinning platter type and the solid state drive (SSD). You can use either type to store your data and both types can blow up in your face.
Some of the things I tell you today can hurt your system (and therefore your data). If you are a newbie, call someone who knows, or email me and I will point you in the correct direction for help.
Firstly, hard drives always fill up.…

In the modern economy, starting a small business can be a large task. Procuring the licenses and permits necessary, stocking your establishment with the right supplies, and refurbishing interiors is already a daunting task without the looming threat of multinational corporations and big box stores that could easily crush it.
In spite of that, we can’t forget that small and local businesses are the lifeblood of not just communities but the country at large. Fortunately, Fargo-Moorhead…

There are two words to describe my Christmas shopping. Quick. Cheap. I like to kind of know what I want to buy, get into a store, find it quick, try to get the best price I can possibly find, and get out. The fact that I’m a bit of a bargain shopper occasionally means Cheap overcomes Quick.
I am lucky in that I only have to shop for my wife, Lillian. She buys all the rest of the presents for our families. And I don’t do Black Friday, generally…

The Transgender Day of Remembrance memorializes the trans individuals who have lost their lives due to violence this year. It is a day where we read their names and remember them—not how they died, but how they lived. This is also a day of visibility for the trans community and bears witness to the continued violence against them. This is a time for everyone who is trans, or those whose lives have been impacted by violence against trans people, to…

Anastasia Rose’s drag beginnings started on a Fargo-Moorhead stage in November 2007.

This time as she hits the stage she will be accompanied by her court, raising money for the Minnesota Rural AIDS Action Network (RAAN).
“Many non-profits the court raises money for have programs…

Thumb drives are an important part of your computer system. They can be used to transfer files from one machine to another, install software on another computer’s hard drive, and hundreds of other chores. They can also be used for nefarious purposes such as injecting viruses onto a hard drive. I will sometimes carry a thumb drive on a strap around my neck with my passwords on it. But of course, I am a card-carrying geek!
I have talked to many of my…
